Cooperation Background
In early 2024, the client approached us via an Alibaba inquiry seeking premium branding solutions for their wireless earbuds. After initial communication, we transitioned to direct communication on our official website, where we provided customized solutions and samples.

Product Type Ordered

  • Ultra-Thin Nickel Metal Stickers

  • Used for logo branding and model identification on the surface of earbud charging cases.

Challenges Faced by the Client

  • The charging case had a matte plastic surface, making adhesion difficult for standard stickers.

  • The client requested the thinnest possible sticker that wouldn’t disrupt the sleek hand-feel of their high-end product.

  • Production timelines needed to align precisely with the client’s assembly line, requiring strict delivery scheduling.

Our Solutions

  • We used imported nickel foil with pre-applied adhesive, maintaining thickness below 0.03mm.

  • Surface finished with anti-fingerprint electroplating to enhance durability and premium touch.

  • Implemented a fixed monthly production and delivery schedule to ensure on-time supply.

Project Outcome

  • We have supplied the client for 8 consecutive months, delivering over 18,000 sets of custom nickel stickers.

  • The client has since expanded our collaboration to cover their Bluetooth speakers and smart microphone accessories.

Client Feedback

“The product’s texture and precision are outstanding. It perfectly aligns with our premium product line. And deliveries have always been on time.”
