Sample order questions
Hi, I am at the product research stage and I have selected a few suppliers from Alibaba for my potential first product. I am trying to order samples from each of them for inspection purpose and my question begins from here:
Should I order samples without customization of logo and packaging or should I come up with a brand new logo + packaging ideas and then order a customized sample? Hopefully someone with experience can answer this.
Thank you.

You really didn't give enough information to answer this kind of question.
It sounds like your trying to do a private label product, that you found on Alibaba, and will be putting your own label or logo on it.
Is this item already being sold, and you have some competition, but you want to put your own logo? Im assuming the company on Alibaba can sell it to others?
I have used Alibaba, but I use a company within them to make my own custom product, and no one else can be sold my materials. So I'm not against Alibaba.
Also, always check your products. Never have the items sent directly to FBA without checking them first.

While I do not have specific suggestions for ordering samples, I did want to pass along these two helpful resources that provide best practices and guidelines for when it comes to sourcing products to sell:
I hope this helps! If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate reaching out.
