Sourcing and Procurement
We know we can deliver the high quality products that are right for your brand – and at the right price– because we have many years of sourcing and procurement knowledge to draw on. And we understand that product longevity leads to increased brand awareness. So we source responsibly and ethically to ensure our customers receive top quality products that go on promoting and reflecting their brand long after they have left you.
Driven by customer satisfaction
We want our customers to be happy every step of the way, so our sourcing and procurement process always includes a showcase of patterns, materials, finishes and branding options before samples are produced. Once samples are approved, final product specifications are drawn up and production begins.
We regularly attend major international trade shows to find the finest and latest materials for your products. From metal and silicone to cotton and jute, we source at the most competitive prices without compromising quality.
Our products are primarily sourced from China, India and Cambodia. We understand the capabilities of the factories we use which, in turn, helps us to meet the needs of our customers.
Marc Tetro
Taking art to the retail market
Canadian-born artist, illustrator and designer Marc Tetro is famous for his bold and distinctive graphic style. Dinks has been working with Marc Tetro since 2012, producing superior retail products for the international market. The range features outstanding attention to design and detail on keyrings, charms, PVC totes, pouches and umbrellas made primarily from pongee.
Our challenge
In 2014 Marc Tetro wanted to add value to the biggest-selling product range of boldly coloured tote bags featuring iconic dog designs. The existing supplier couldn’t meet the new demanding specifications, so the challenge for us was to source and deliver new products with a superior level of detailing. This included an internal lining and other small personalised details with debossing on zips and other metal features.
What we did
We developed a number of samples in a variety of finishes with personalised options. The final product was approved and went into production and it continues to be a mainstay of the Marc Tetro product range, available at www.marctetro.com http://marctetro.com/
Why Marc Tetro chose Dinks Ltd
"We continue to work more closely with Dinks because they consistently prove they can source and produce goods from the best factories in the world, to the highest production standards. Alongside totes, Dinks also recommended a range of smaller custom-produced pouches and cosmetic bags in a variety of shapes, sizes and finishes. The fact that these recommendations have proved commercially successful is further indication that Dinks was the right choice for Marc Tetro.”
