Home & Living

Korean manufacturers of kitchenware, household goods, small appliances, baby products and stationery. This is the broadest of the three launch categories and the one where product design carries the most weight — Korean suppliers here compete on form and finish rather than lowest cost. Practical considerations differ from beauty and food: expect larger cartons, longer lead times for tooling-dependent items, and destination-specific electrical or material safety certification for anything powered or intended for children. Ask about existing moulds, since new tooling can add six to eight weeks.
