How to Choose a Water Balloon Supplier in China: MOQ, Quality, Packing and Patent-Safe Checklist
Choosing a water balloon supplier in China should start with verifiable order details, not a low price screenshot.
A reliable water balloon supplier should be able to confirm 3 inch size, 0.23-0.24 g piece weight, eight-color mix, MOQ, packing, carton data, delivery time, certificates, batch QC evidence and patent-safe product boundaries. AIHUA's known export packing is 500 pieces per bag and 100 bags per carton, with 13 kg gross weight, 12 kg net weight and 46 x 33 x 28 cm carton size.

What product specs should a water balloon supplier confirm?
A supplier should confirm size, piece weight, color mix, packing unit, carton data, MOQ and delivery time in writing before the buyer compares prices.

AIHUA's known water balloon specification is 3 inch, 0.23-0.24 g per piece, with eight colors: red, pink, yellow, blue, light blue, green, orange and purple. Buyers should verify whether the quote follows these details or a custom requirement.
| Item | Known AIHUA Detail | Buyer Use |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 3 inch. | Confirms product fit for water balloon play and retail packs. |
| Piece weight | 0.23-0.24 g per piece. | Supports quality and cost comparison. |
| Colors | Red, pink, yellow, blue, light blue, green, orange and purple. | Controls assortment expectation. |
How should MOQ and packing be checked?
MOQ and packing should be checked together because bag count, carton count, carton weight and carton size affect both order cost and logistics.

AIHUA's known regular packing is 500 pieces per bag and 400 bags per woven bag. Known export packing is 500 pieces per bag and 100 bags per carton. The carton is 46 x 33 x 28 cm, with gross weight 13 kg and net weight 12 kg. Known MOQ is a single order above 400 bags.
| Packing Point | Known Detail | What Buyers Should Ask |
|---|---|---|
| Regular packing | 500 pcs/bag, 400 bags/woven bag. | Is this the domestic or default packing for the quote? |
| Export packing | 500 pcs/bag, 100 bags/carton. | Will export cartons be used for this order? |
| Carton data | GW 13 kg, NW 12 kg, 46 x 33 x 28 cm. | Can the supplier provide carton photos before shipment? |
Which quality checks matter before final payment?
Useful checks include random fill tests, neck strength tests, surface consistency, color mix checks, bag count and carton photos from the actual batch.

A supplier should be comfortable showing evidence. If a serious batch problem is found, AIHUA's known quality logic is strict QC for every batch and full-batch discard when serious issues appear.
How should buyers handle certificates and patent-safe sourcing?
Buyers should confirm the relevant certificate documents and avoid counterfeit or patent-infringing requests, especially for bunch-style water balloon products.

AIHUA's known certificate scope includes EN71, ASTM, ISO, SEDEX and FSC. AIHUA also refuses counterfeit or patent-infringing ZURU-style water balloon bunch requests. This is a buyer-protection sourcing boundary, not legal advice; importers should use authorized product designs and confirm destination-market rules.
