What export packing data should buyers confirm?
Buyers should confirm inner bag count, bags per carton, gross weight, net weight, carton dimensions, carton marks, SKU references, barcode needs and destination-market warning text before production is finished.
| Packing Item | AIHUA Common Data | Buyer Use |
|---|---|---|
| Inner bag | 500 pcs/bag | Controls retail listing quantity and pack-count complaints. |
| Export carton | 100 bags/carton | Supports receiving, SKU count and warehouse planning. |
| Weight and size | GW 13 kg, NW 12 kg, 46 x 33 x 28 cm | Used for freight quote and carton verification. |
How should retail pack control be handled?
Retail pack control should confirm 500 pcs per bag, color mix, warning wording, barcode or SKU area, bag sealing, carton mark and whether the pack is standard or private-label.
A first-time buyer often focuses on balloon price but misses the retail pack. If the bag count, warning text or carton mark is wrong, the goods may still pass basic QC but fail at warehouse receiving or online listing review. Private-label packaging should be approved with artwork and language before mass production.
What is the difference between regular packing and export carton packing?
Regular packing can use 500 pcs per bag and 400 bags per woven bag, while export carton packing commonly uses 500 pcs per bag and 100 bags per carton. The buyer should choose the packing method based on channel, receiving, freight and resale requirements.
Woven-bag packing can be practical for some bulk movement, but carton packing is usually easier for import receiving, SKU control and retail distribution. The quotation should clearly separate product cost, packing method, carton quantity and freight basis.
What pre-shipment evidence should buyers request?
Before final payment, buyers should request open bag photos, sealed bag photos, carton mark photos, gross and net weight evidence, pallet or loading photos and a short QC video from the actual order.
Evidence Table
| Claim | Evidence | How To Verify |
|---|---|---|
| Pack count is correct. | Open-bag and sealed-bag photos. | Compare to PO and retail listing quantity. |
| Carton data matches quotation. | Weight and carton-size evidence. | Check GW, NW and dimensions against freight file. |
| Shipment belongs to the buyer's order. | Carton mark and SKU photos. | Match carton mark with invoice and packing list. |
Buyer FAQ
Can AIHUA supply standard water balloons quickly?
Standard items can usually be delivered within 3 days. Custom packaging normally needs about 7 to 20 days depending on quantity and artwork complexity.
What is the MOQ for standard water balloons?
AIHUA's MOQ is a single order above 400 bags.
Should buyers request real photos before shipment?

Conclusion
Water balloon export packaging should be treated as part of product quality. Buyers should record bag count, carton count, carton size, weight, marks, labels and evidence before final payment. This protects repeat orders and helps avoid freight, warehouse and retail-pack disputes.
