Trial Order Coordination

Before committing to a full container, we coordinate a 1–5 tonne trial batch to verify grade consistency, batch-to-batch stability, and delivery documentation.

What We Do

A trial order is standard practice before any long-term resin supply agreement, regardless of grade. We coordinate a small batch — typically 1–5 tonnes — that lets you verify grade consistency, documentation quality, and supplier reliability before committing to a full container load.

Why Trial Orders Matter

The risk in resin supply is not the trial shipment — it’s the production batch six months later when the relationship is established and scrutiny drops. A well-structured trial creates a documented baseline that makes substitution easier to detect and harder to deny.

What We Structure Into the Trial

Batch selection — We select the batch from warehouse stock, not a freshly-produced “special” lot
COA collection — Batch COA collected before shipment, compared against the sample used for initial approval
Lab testing — MFI, density, and grade-specific tests on the trial batch (see Resin Lab Testing service)
Packaging verification — Bag weight, label accuracy, moisture barrier integrity checked before loading
Documentation dry run — Full export document set prepared as if it were a full container, so we identify any documentation gaps before the real order

Pass/Fail Criteria

Grade parameters within specification (MFI, density, K-value as applicable)
COA matches approved sample data
Packaging and labelling correct and complete
Documentation complete and accurate
