This page is for distributors, importers, and online sellers building an airbrush range rather than buying one isolated sample. The useful question is not “How many products are in the catalog?” It is whether the supplier can keep the product, accessories, documents, packaging, and repeat orders aligned.
For a first discussion, prepare the target application, quantity, selling channel, destination market, and desired packaging level. ORVIQO can discuss programs from a starting MOQ of 50 units, subject to SKU mix, plug or voltage split, and packaging configuration. A 15-day order target should be confirmed against the approved SKU and final order details, not treated as an unconditional promise.
1. Compare the range as a sellable program
Ask the supplier to separate standard products from configurable products:
| Range role | What to define | What the supplier should return |
|---|---|---|
| Entry kit | Beginner application, target price, included compressor | Complete SKU, gun, compressor, hose, power setup, and package contents |
| Core gun | Spray job, feed type, control type, nozzle option | Product configuration, available accessories, and replacement parts |
| Compressor | Portable or desktop use, runtime, pressure control | Compressor SKU, pairing recommendation, plug and voltage options |
| Accessories | Hoses, adapters, holders, filters, cleaning tools | Part code, fitting details, pack quantity, and product relationship |
| Service parts | Needle, nozzle, cap, seal, cup, bottle | SKU mapping and recommended first-order service quantity |
If the supplier cannot explain how the range fits together, a large catalog creates more work rather than less.
2. Require a complete sample
The sample should represent the proposed commercial configuration. Check the actual airbrush, compressor, hose, adapter, power supply, accessories, manual, and package contents together.
Record:
- product SKU and revision
- gun type and control style
- nozzle and needle size or available option
- compressor model and working pressure range
- hose ends and adapter type
- plug and voltage for the destination market
- included accessories and spare parts
- package format and instruction language
- sample test result and open changes
During testing, spray the intended medium at the intended working pressure. Record start-stop response, trigger feel, pressure stability, cleaning access, and leakage around connection points.
3. Check the commercial file before comparing unit price
Request one written quote that keeps these fields together:
| RFQ field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| SKU and configuration | Prevents the quote from referring to a product family rather than the tested version |
| Quantity by SKU | MOQ and pricing may change when the order is split |
| Sample and bulk timing | Separates sample preparation from production |
| Packaging level | Standard box, label, color box, manual, insert, and carton marks affect the order |
| Plug and voltage | Prevents a market-specific configuration from being assumed later |
| Spare-parts list | Gives the distributor an after-sales path from the first shipment |
| Document scope | Keeps CE and other documents tied to the actual SKU or kit |
| Carton information | Supports freight planning and warehouse receiving |
CE documentation can be provided where applicable, but the certificate or declaration must be matched to the relevant SKU and configuration. A general statement that a factory “has CE” is not a substitute for checking document scope.
4. Verify the reorder system
The reorder file should contain the product SKU, component list, approved sample photos, packaging artwork, manual version, plug split, document set, and change history.
Also ask:
- 1How are product changes communicated before production?
- 2Can the same needle, nozzle, hose, or adapter be reordered by a fixed part code?
- 3Are spare parts available as individual SKUs or service packs?
- 4Can carton and inner-pack quantities stay stable?
- 5Who confirms changes when the second order is placed?
5. Send a useful distributor RFQ
Include:
- selling channel and target customer
- applications and expected use level
- destination country or market group
- quantity by SKU; starting discussion point: 50 units
- gun, kit, compressor, or mixed-range requirement
- nozzle and needle requirements if known
- hose, adapter, filter, and cleaning-tool requirements
- standard or private-label packaging
- plug, voltage, manual, and label requirements
- CE or other destination-market document needs
- target sample date and 15-day production target to be confirmed
- expected reorder quantity and spare-parts plan
Review the product range, check parts and accessories, or send the RFQ.
