Source Factory
A manufacturing enterprise equipped with its own production lines, making goods without intermediaries.
Term Definition
On 1688, genuine manufacturing plants carry the badge 源头厂家 (Source Factory). Buying directly from manufacturers yields rock-bottom unit pricing, custom branding opportunities, and direct engineering flexibility. However, factories generally mandate firm MOQs and rarely sell single units.
Usage Example
