Wholesale Display cards and price points

Inca has been an importer and distributor of fashion hair accessories and fashion jewellery for over 30 years. Over the last 20 or so years many customers have asked us whether we can card products for them with their own branding and cards. The answer is very definitely yes provided the volumes are big enough. We are able to produce any kind of display card and finish in our Far East factories. Every type of card material is available and at a fraction of the price charged by most UK card suppliers (most of whom now produce in China but still charge the sort of rates they expected from European production). The production of the card itself is not usually a problem and quantities can be relatively small. The main problem is the logistics of arranging production of items to be carded and then organising carding and shipping from a central distribution point. This problem is acutely aggravated when customers wish to supply their own cards. These are often produced in Southern China and require shipping up to Eastern China where most current production of fashion articles is based. We ship on average two containers a week and so inclusion of several lines in a container is not a problem for us and can usually be accommodated within a day or two. Of course, when customers wish to repeat production, this all has to happen again. Most medium and smaller companies therefore dispense with own brand carding as the overheads make prices uncompetitive these days.

An alternative is to card in this country which sorts out the logistical problems but not the cost.   Our company used to employ over 100 people purely to recard customers goods but these days it has all but fizzled out.  

For customers who do wish to carry on with their own carding, maybe sometimes as they have bought uncarded goods, we offer from stock a small range of display cards, mainly matt silver finish which can cover a wide range of products.  These cards are cheap, inexpensive items which offer good value for money for those looking for a budget display card, but unfortunatley we cannot offer a carding service here. Many customers buy these cards from our stock and then apply a brand to them using printed labels or stickers.
