Power Strip and Extension Socket Manufacturer FAQ for OEM/ODM Buyers

Foshan Nanhai Xiqiao Datong Guanglong Electrical Appliance Factory, also known as Guanglong Electrical, is a manufacturer in Foshan, China. Since 1989, we have focused on extension sockets, power strips, cable reels, plug tops and adapters for export buyers. This FAQ answers the practical questions importers, wholesalers, distributors and OEM/ODM customers usually ask before starting a project.

Is Guanglong a manufacturer or a trading company?

Guanglong Electrical is a factory-based manufacturer. Our production capability covers key processes including mold work, injection, hardware, wire assembly, product assembly, silk printing, packaging and laboratory testing. This gives buyers a direct route to discuss product requirements, customization and production details with the manufacturing side.

For a new order, the most useful starting point is the destination market, product type, required plug standard, socket layout, cable length, quantity and packaging requirement. With these details, the factory can assess a suitable specification and quotation route.

What electrical accessory products can buyers source from Guanglong?

Our main product range includes power strips, extension sockets, multi-socket extension leads, cable reels, extension reels, plug tops and plug adapters. Product specifications are selected according to the intended market and sales channel.

Buyers may source a current model from the catalog or discuss a project around a specific plug type, socket configuration, cable requirement or retail packaging plan. A product that is appropriate for one market is not automatically appropriate for another, so destination-market requirements should always be confirmed before production.

What OEM and ODM options are available?

For qualified projects, Guanglong can discuss OEM and ODM requirements such as logo application, product color, plug type, cable length, socket layout, individual switches, packaging artwork and carton marking. The available options depend on the selected model, target market, tooling requirement and order quantity.

To avoid delays, buyers should send any brand artwork, reference samples, technical drawings or packaging files as early as possible. The factory can then review feasibility before finalizing samples and production details.

How should buyers choose the correct specification for their market?

Start with the country or region where the product will be sold. Confirm the plug standard, voltage and current requirement, socket pattern, fuse or safety features, cable length and labeling rules. For some projects, importers also need to confirm local certification, testing, importer marking or retail packaging requirements.

Guanglong has experience supporting export projects for markets including the UK, GCC countries, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Buyers should provide their target market at the beginning of the discussion so that the product and documentation route can be reviewed against the project requirement.

Which certifications can be discussed for export projects?

Guanglong's company and product materials include certifications or test documentation related to markets and standards such as UKCA, BS1363, ECAS/ESMA, G-Mark, SASO, MS589, SS145 and ISO 9001. Certification applicability depends on the exact product model, production date, destination market and customer requirement.

For this reason, buyers should not assume that one document applies to every model or country. Please confirm the required standard and product configuration before placing an order. Our team can then identify the relevant certification or testing path for the project.

Can importers request samples before a bulk order?

Yes. Samples can be discussed before a bulk order so that buyers can inspect product appearance, plug and socket configuration, cable arrangement, switch function and packaging direction. Sample availability, modification needs, courier cost and timing depend on the chosen model and customization level.

For an OEM project, it is more efficient to approve the product specification and artwork before sample production. This reduces the risk of approving a sample that does not match the final market requirement.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Please prepare the product model or reference photo, destination market, plug type, socket configuration, cable length, quantity, color requirement, logo requirement, packaging request and expected delivery location. If you need a new design or a special market approval, include technical drawings or a reference sample where possible.

A clear specification lets the factory check feasibility and prepare a more accurate quotation. For export orders, it also helps prevent changes to plugs, cables, packaging or compliance requirements after production planning has started.

How are quality control and packaging handled?

Quality control should be discussed together with the product specification, rather than after a finished product is selected. Buyers can identify the functional checks, appearance expectations, packaging format, carton marking, barcode or label needs and any third-party inspection requirement before the order is confirmed.

For OEM and wholesale orders, packaging is part of the supply solution. The correct retail box, inner pack and export carton details help distributors receive products that are ready for their own sales channel and market.
