If you want to sell 3D printer filament in your city, put PLA and PETG on the local shelf first. Do not open the business as a drop-ship ticket for every SKU from China. The usual path is 1–2 sample rolls of that card, then 50 kg. We sell FOB Foshan. The factory is in Foshan, Guangdong, next to Guangzhou.
Local stock is the advantage you can check. A maker who needs a spool this week buys from the shelf in town. A drop-ship catalog still waits on the ocean box. That wait is not a filament unit price; it is the buyer’s forwarder account under FOB Foshan. The dealer who holds the two volume cards sells the turn, not the wait.
The cards stay separate. PLA: heat deflection 57°C, impact 26 kJ/m², flexural 75 MPa, print 190–220°C, bed 50–60°C, about 10 colors, 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm, ±0.03 mm. PETG: heat deflection 70°C, impact 32 kJ/m², flexural 64 MPa, print 230–250°C, bed 70–85°C, about 18 colors, both diameters, ±0.03 mm. Each card has its own 50 kg. Mixing every SKU into the first order does not build a local shelf.
Own compounding, 20 extrusion lines, 500 tons a month, in Foshan next to Guangzhou. Private label can sit on the grade after that grade’s sample roll has been printed. Ocean freight stays on the buyer’s forwarder. FOB Foshan.
Order check: the shop already sells PLA in town → 1–2 sample rolls, then 50 kg PLA on the diameter the machines take. The shop already sells PETG → the same path on the PETG card. A second grade is a second 50 kg after the first card is moving on the shelf.

| PLA card | HDT 57°C · impact 26 kJ/m² · flex 75 MPa · 190–220°C / bed 50–60°C · ~10 colors · 1.75/2.85 · ±0.03 mm | Same card, still not on the shelf |
| PETG card | HDT 70°C · impact 32 kJ/m² · flex 64 MPa · 230–250°C / bed 70–85°C · ~18 colors · 1.75/2.85 · ±0.03 mm | Same card, still not on the shelf |
| Factory terms | FOB Foshan; ocean freight on the buyer’s forwarder | Same FOB — the wait sits on every retail order |
