Category description
How CoExpys handles Laundry Detergent
We supply laundry detergent in powder, gel and liquid formats from manufacturers in Guangdong, Jiangsu and Shandong. The commercial decision that matters most is the pack format: 1 kg to 3 kg bags for retail distribution, or 10 L and 20 L drums for institutional and hotel supply. We agree the format, the active content and the fragrance or non-fragrance requirement on the contract, then check a production sample against the same limits before the bulk run is released, and verify the delivered packs at pre-shipment inspection.
Every shipment is quoted against a confirmed specification, packed to the format agreed for your channel, and documented so the Cuban side can clear it without guesswork.
