#1 Where to find the best wholesale toys manufacturers in China？
(1.1) Find Chinese wholesale toy manufacturers from toys exhibitions in China
To attend different trade fairs in China or worldwide countries is a MUST-do task for many professional toy buyers. You are easy approach many toy factories in the exhibitions.
Some famous exhibitions of the toy industry in China are Guangzhou Int’l Toy & Hobby Fair, Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, China toys expo, Chenghai (Shantou) International Toys & Gifts Fair, etc.
Tips for attending exhibitions:
You can contact some of your target Chinese toy manufacturers before visiting a show. Try to arrange a meeting time with them in advance. in this case, the toy manufacturer will leave more time to discuss with you.

(1.2) Try Online B2B Marketplace in China
Despite attending toy exhibitions, you can also find toy manufacturers from Chinese online platforms. The Chinese toys manufacturers most frequently use the following Chinese B2B marketplace:
You can search on these B2B platforms and contact some toys manufacturers for details, following is an email script I use to contract manufacturers in China:
Hi, [name of toys manufactures]
I am [your name] from [your company name] company.
I am interested in (product name or item No. of the toy manufacturers). May I ask some questions first:
- What is the minimum order quantity?
- What is the price of (product name of the toy manufacturers) based on minimum order quantity? What’s the price if I increase the amount?
- Can you let me know the lead time based on the minimum quantity?
- Can you do OEM or ODM?
I need a sample first to verify your product quality. Can you indicate the sample cost, including shipping to:
[Your address]
Thank you,
[Your name]
Tips: Do remember not to write too short or too long emails for the first time. There are many crammers sending emails to different suppliers on the B2B marketplace every day. So many suppliers ignore those emails that look like spam.
If you want to get an answer from the manufacturers, write a concise and well-organized email is a must.
(1.3) Try sourcing companies to help you find the wholesale toys manufacturers in China
If you are not experienced enough with the toys supplying management, you can cooperate with some sourcing companies or buying offices in China to help you find professional toys manufacturers.
Generally, sourcing companies or buying offices are very professional in identifying qualified manufacturers. Relying on them can save you a lot of time during sourcing, and most of the time they can help you get a better price.
Some sourcing companies in China you can start with:
- TonySourcing.com – recommended for retailer, wholesalers, both small & large businesses
- Supplyia.com – recommended for medium & small business, Amazon sellers
- 86.toys Sourcing – recommended for medium & large businesses

(1.4) Use Linkedin as one of your sourcing methods
There are many Chinese wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers are publishing their company file or personal introduction on LinkedIn. You can approach some proper Chinese toy manufacturers on LinkedIn as well.
(1.5) Search on Google
Search on Google is not a secret, there are a few search strings that help you to search on Google:
#1 “keywords” + manufacturer+China
#2 “keywords” + wholesale+manufacturer+China
#3 “keywords” + factory+China
#4 “keywords” + factory+wholesale+China
The negative point is that few manufacturers in China pay attention to online marketing, so it not easy to find them from the top 10 search results, you’ll have to trawl through many pages until you see some Chinese legitimate toy manufacturers.

(2) Things You Should Know When Finding Wholesale Toys Manufacturers in China
- Identify the wholesaler, sourcing companies, and toys manufacturers
- Find Chinese wholesale toys manufacturers according to your business capacity
- Choose the wholesale toys manufacturers who can provide test reports
- Choose the toys manufacturers who have a formal manufacturing system
- Divide toys manufacturers into apparel manufacturers and fabrics suppliers.
(2.1) Identify the wholesale suppliers
Identifying the different suppliers on the B2B marketplace is your first job, are they traders, wholesalers, or direct toy manufacturers?
You can have a brief understanding of a supplier by reviewing their company page on Alibaba or Global Source. Generally, you can understand their business role by checking their business license.
According to this business license, you can notice that it’s a textile fabric manufacturer which is focusing on exporting.
If you can’t find notification of “production,” “manufacturing” or a specific production procedure in the supplier’s business scope, in most cases, they are traders. Such vendors are also listing a diverse choice of product categories in the business scope.
(2.2) Find Chinese wholesale toys manufacturers according to your business capacity
Don’t look for the big toy manufacturers only. Big toy manufacturers in China are recommended for big companies because they require a significant minimum order quantity, and they are quite busy dealing with big customers who will leave less energy focusing on supporting small businesses.
Small businesses are recommended to find small or medium-sized toy manufacturers with qualified goods provided. You will get a low minimum order quantity requirement from those vendors.
What’s more, compared to big toy manufacturers, the small or medium-sized toy manufacturers will put more attention to supporting and serving small businesses. In this case, small businesses will get better service from those vendors.
(2.3) Choose the wholesale toys manufacturers who can provide test reports
There are many certificates or test reports required when exporting toys to the USA, EU, Australia, and some other countries.
The prior choice is to choose the toy manufacturers who can provide you the complete certificates or testing reports, such as SGS test reports, SST test reports, etc.
(2.4) Choose the toys manufacturers who have a formal manufacturing system
Many professional manufacturers are equipped with excellent manufacturing systems, such as ISO 9001:2008. Generally, the quality standard from manufacturers of ISO 9001:2008 will be better than those who don’t have the certification.
Besides, the toy manufacturers who can provide BSCI and Sedex certification are the ones you need to put in your priority suppliers list.
