Private-label sourcing with QC and escrow

Private-label sourcing means putting your brand on a factory’s product — so the risk sits on whether the factory can hold spec at volume. ikraw matches your brief to verified factories and keeps sample approval, milestone payment, and pre-shipment inspection in one flow.

For DTC and retail brands building a private-label or OEM product line.

The hard part of private label is not finding a factory — it is confirming the first production run matches the sample you approved. A factory that nails a golden sample can still drift on materials, tolerances, or finish once it is running thousands of units.

ikraw structures the order around that. You submit an RFQ with your specs and reference samples, compare quotes from verified factories on MOQ, price, lead time, and certifications, approve a physical sample, then fund the order into escrow. A pre-shipment inspection checks the run against your approved sample and spec sheet before the balance is released.

How it works

  1. 1

    Submit your product brief

    Share specs, materials, target price, quantities, packaging, and any reference samples or tech packs in a structured RFQ.

  2. 2

    Compare verified factories

    Review quotes from vetted factories on MOQ, unit price, lead time, capacity, and certifications relevant to your category.

  3. 3

    Approve a physical sample

    Order and sign off a golden sample before committing to bulk production. The approved sample becomes the QC reference.

  4. 4

    Fund the order into escrow

    Payment is held and released against milestones — deposit, production, and post-inspection balance.

  5. 5

    Pass a pre-shipment inspection

    An independent inspector checks the finished run against your approved sample and spec sheet before the balance is released.

Frequently asked questions

What MOQ should I expect for private label?

It varies by category and factory — from a few hundred units for simple goods to several thousand for products that need custom tooling. Quotes on ikraw show each factory’s MOQ so you can compare before committing.

Can I get samples before a bulk order?

Yes. Sample approval is a standard step — you sign off a physical golden sample, and that sample becomes the reference the pre-shipment inspection checks against.

What happens if the production run fails inspection?

The final payment is not released. The issue is documented against the inspection report and the agreed milestone terms, and handled through ikraw’s dispute process.
