“Yes, We Can Do That Custom Design!” (No, They Can’t)

Your custom solar light design is brilliant. Your Chinese supplier promises they can produce it perfectly. Then the first samples arrive… and it’s nothing like your design.

The Custom Production Reality Check:

Mold Making Scams:

They quote low mold costs to win your business

Use cheap steel that wears out after 5,000 units

Don’t include necessary slides or lifters for complex designs

Material Substitutions:

Promise: UV-resistant ASA plastic

Deliver: Regular ABS that yellows in 3 months

Excuse: “Same material family, better price for you!”

Functionality Compromises:

Your custom dimming feature? “Temporarily removed for stability”

Special mounting system? “Simplified for easier installation”

Unique solar panel angle? “Adjusted for better production”
