About Dairui
How long has Dairui been manufacturing curtains?
Dairui Textile was founded in 2014 in Shaoxing, China — the textile capital of China. We’ve been manufacturing curtains continuously for over a decade, with most of our team having 10+ years of industry experience.
What's your factory size and production capacity?
Our facility is 10,000 m² with annual production capacity of 500,000 pieces. We operate with a 100+ Production Workforce across cutting, sewing, finishing, QC, and packaging.
What compliance documentation can be provided?
Dairui is BSCI audited. SGS fire-performance reports are held on tested fabrics — CAN/ULC-S109 report SL62606316314601TX and NFPA 701 report SL62206251632701TX — and OEKO-TEX certified fabrics are available. SGS reports are material-specific, so confirm the current report matches the fabric in your quotation. See the reports.
Where is your factory located?
Our facility is in Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, China — about 1.5 hours from Ningbo Port and 2 hours from Shanghai Port. Buyers visiting China are welcome to schedule a factory tour.
Who are your typical customers?
We serve B2B buyers including wholesale importers and distributors, established online retailers, private-label brands, interior designers, hospitality teams and other project buyers. Individual consumers and single-panel retail orders are outside the core wholesale program.
Products & Customization
What types of curtains do you manufacture?
We manufacture four main curtain categories: blackout curtains (coated and physical), sheer curtains (voile and embroidered), linen curtains (natural and faux linen), and velvet curtains (soft-touch polyester velvet). We also make shower curtains, jacquard, outdoor and flame-retardant curtains, and project curtains for hotels and institutions.
What heading styles can you produce?
We produce all major curtain heading styles: Ripplefold (S-fold) with 6 cm or 8 cm glider spacing, Pinch Pleat (single, double, or triple pleat), Wave Top with 7.5 cm nylon tape, Pencil Pleat with three-cord drawtape, Grommet/Eyelet, Back Tab, and Tab Top. We can match any heading style on a buyer-supplied sample.
What blackout fabric options do you offer?
We produce all major blackout types: coated blackout (3-layer or 4-layer), composite blackout with TPU lamination, composite with inner coating, single-side TPU composite, and physical yarn-based blackout (the most premium, environmentally friendly option). Coating backings can be silicon or foam.
Can flame-retardant options and testing be coordinated?
Flame-retardant options and testing can be coordinated for selected fabrics or project requirements. The required standard must be specified before material approval, and buyers should verify the current report for the exact ordered material. No blanket NFPA 701, BS 5867 or DIN 4102 claim applies to every curtain.
What is heat-setting and shape memory?
Industrial heat-setting locks pleat geometry, ripple shape, and dimensional stability into the fabric — creating a permanent memory shape that holds after washing and re-hanging. It’s particularly important for ripplefold, S-fold, and pinch pleat curtains where shape retention is the visual signature. We heat-set every applicable order before packaging.
MOQ & Order Structure
What's your standard MOQ?
Trial orders of 50-100 pieces on in-stock fabrics are available, subject to discussion. Custom-woven fabrics require 800-1,000 meters minimum. Exact MOQ is confirmed in the quotation for your fabric, size and construction.
Do you accept trial orders for new buyers?
Yes. Trial orders of 50-100 pieces are available for first-time customers validating a fabric or design. Once the product proves out, you can scale up reorders on the same fabric, then move to custom-woven fabric runs.
What's the minimum for custom-woven fabric?
800-1,000 meters minimum for custom-woven fabrics. This covers custom yarn dyeing, custom weaving patterns, and proprietary fabric development.
Can I mix multiple SKUs in one order?
Yes. Mixed-SKU orders are common. Each style and color combination is quoted against its own minimum, and we combine SKUs into one shipment to optimize freight cost.
Do you offer container-level wholesale?
Yes. Wholesale buyers can order full container loads. As a planning figure, one 40HQ container holds roughly 20,000 pcs of 140–160 gsm sheers, or 17,000–18,000 pcs above 200 gsm; exact loading varies by size, weight and packing.
Production & Lead Time
How long does sample production take?
Sample lead time is 3-5 working days from confirmation of fabric and specifications, excluding international shipping. Express shipping (DHL, FedEx, UPS) typically delivers samples within 5-7 days globally.
How long is bulk production lead time?
Standard bulk production typically takes around 30 days from deposit confirmation for in-stock fabrics. Custom-woven fabric orders add another 15-20 days for fabric production. Lead time can extend during peak season (August-October for Northern Hemisphere winter orders). The binding schedule depends on material readiness, customization, order volume and testing requirements, and is confirmed in the quotation.
Can you handle rush orders?
Limited rush capacity is available for existing partners on in-stock fabrics. Rush orders typically compress lead time to 20-25 days with a small expedite fee. Custom-woven fabrics cannot be rushed — fabric weaving sets the floor on timeline.
Do you provide pre-production photos before bulk?
Yes. After deposit confirmation, we send a pre-production photo sample for buyer approval before cutting bulk fabric. This prevents production-side mistakes from being discovered only at final QC.
Shipping & Logistics
Which ports do you ship from?
We ship from Ningbo Port and Shanghai Port. Ningbo is closer to our facility (1.5 hours) and is the default for cost-sensitive shipments. Shanghai is used for faster sailings to certain destinations or when consolidating with other Shanghai-area suppliers.
What incoterms do you offer?
FOB Ningbo or FOB Shanghai is our default. CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) are available on request.
How are curtains packed for export?
Curtains are folded, bagged in moisture-barrier polybags, and boxed in tested-strength export cartons. Pleated curtains use paper rings to preserve memory shape. Each carton is labeled to buyer specification (carton dimensions, weight, SKU, your brand markings).
What payment terms do you accept?
For OEM and Private Label orders, our standard is 30% T/T deposit + 70% before shipment. Other terms are confirmed during inquiry based on order volume, destination, and product specification. Currency: USD or EUR.
Sampling & Working Together
How do I request a curtain sample?
Send a sample request through our contact form, or message us on WhatsApp at +86 13456579329. Tell us your target fabric, color, size, and intended use. We reply within 8 hours with sample timeline and any cost confirmation.
Are samples free?
Color cards and fabric swatches are free — you cover the courier, on your own account or ours re-invoiced.
Finished-curtain samples are charged, because each one is made on the production line. There is no fixed price: it depends on the product and the destination, so we quote the sample cost together with the product quote. Sample cost can be credited back against a bulk order.
Can you produce under my brand without Dairui markings?
Yes. For Private Label orders, all packaging, labels, hangtags, and inserts are fully branded to your specification. No Dairui logo, factory address, or Chinese-language markings appear on finished goods or shipping documents.
Do you sign NDAs and exclusivity agreements?
NDAs are routinely signed before sharing custom design files. Exclusivity agreements are case-by-case — we can agree not to produce identical custom designs for direct competitors in your region, but we don’t grant blanket category exclusivity.
How do I start working with Dairui?
Three steps: (1) Send us a brand brief with target fabric, construction, size, and order volume. (2) We ship a sample within 3-5 working days for your approval. (3) After sample sign-off, 30% T/T deposit confirms bulk production. Most new partners place a first order within 2-4 weeks of initial inquiry.
