Ordering & pricing

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for anti-mold chips?

If you order ready stock (standard packaging), we can ship from 1 bag. If you need custom OEM / private-label (custom print, size, or brand label), MOQ starts at 200,000 pcs (chips) or the equivalent bag quantity. Contact us with your SKU and artwork for an exact quote.

What is the lead time for production orders?

For ready stock (standard packaging), factory handling is typically 3–7 days after order confirmation — the same window published in our product Offer shipping details. For OEM / custom packaging, lead time is stated on the quote (artwork and materials drive the schedule). Rush production is available when you share your vessel cut-off.

Can I get free samples before placing a bulk order?

Yes. Bester provides free samples of anti-mold chips, bags, and desiccants. To request samples, tell us your shoe type, material, shipment route, and estimated monthly volume — we will send the most suitable product for your application. · Product pages: A505 / C304.

Do you offer OEM or private label packaging?

Yes. We support OEM and private label packaging for anti-mold chips, bags, and desiccants. Custom printing, custom sizes, and brand-specific labeling are available. MOQ for custom packaging / private label starts at 200,000 pcs (chips) or equivalent.

Compliance & documentation

What compliance documents do you provide for brand audits?

We provide: SGS test reports (mold growth rating, REACH SVHC, DMF content), REACH compliance declaration, DMF-free declaration, and product specification sheets. All documents are available upon request.

Are your products REACH compliant and DMF-free?

Yes. REACH SVHC Compliance Test (SGS report No. CANAF26001423003) — 251 SVHC substances + 4 potential SVHCs, all not detected (≤ 0.1% w/w). DMF content test (SGS report No. CANAF26001423001): not detected (< 0.1 mg/kg). Tested by SGS. See our Testing & Compliance Center.

Can you supply factories in Vietnam or other countries?

Yes. We supply anti-mold products to footwear factories in Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and other manufacturing countries. We can ship directly to your factory or distribution center.

Product & application

How many anti-mold chips do I need per shoe box?

Standard export shoe boxes usually need one A505 chip or one C304 bag. Boots and large boxes may need two. For high-risk materials (suede, genuine leather) or long transit routes (30+ days), pair chips with desiccant for dual protection.

How long do anti-mold chips last inside a shoe box?

A505 anti-mold chips provide vapor-phase mold protection for up to 6 months in a sealed shoe box when stored cool and dry (unopened shelf life on the product label). SGS tested: Grade 0 mold growth over 28 days.

Can I specify my own packaging configuration?

Yes. Chip count per pack, custom bag sizes, private label printing, and branded packaging are available. Contact us with your specifications for a custom quote.

What is the difference between anti-mold chips and desiccant?

Anti-mold chips release vapor-phase compounds that inhibit mold spore germination. Desiccant absorbs moisture but does not inhibit spores. For best results, use both: desiccant to control humidity + anti-mold chips to suppress germination. See test data.

Quality & support

How do you ensure consistent quality across production batches?

Every production batch undergoes in-house QC testing for active compound concentration, release rate, and packaging integrity. Mold growth testing is conducted in our lab. SGS provides independent third-party verification.

Do you provide mold risk assessment for my specific shoe type?

Yes. We assess mold risk based on shoe material, packaging, transit route, and duration, then recommend chips, bags, and/or desiccant. See also our full-process mold prevention service.

Limitations

The 3–7 day stock window is factory handling after confirmation — it does not include international transit. OEM dates shift with print plates, film, and peak-season capacity. Lab Grade 0 does not replace on-site humidity control.

For factories & exporters

Home mold cleaning is not the same as export packing mold control. If you run a shoe factory or brand program, use vapor-phase anti-mold inserts (not silica gel alone) before sealing boxes.
