2022: First US Buyer Visit - Michael Peterson

In 2022, Michael Peterson became one of the first international buyers to tour HLK 5,000-square-meter factory in Quanzhou. He spent a full day inspecting production lines, watching real-time adhesive-thickness monitoring held to a 0.01mm tolerance, and standing at the QC station where three random batch samples were tested in front of him. His visit set the standard for how HLK onboards North American clients: full transparency, zero rush.

Michael’s first order - 8,000 units of breathable nasal strips under the RestFit brand - shipped within 30 days, and he has since re-ordered on a steady cadence for 18 months running. For the US market, HLK prepared FDA-aligned labeling and latex-free adhesive documentation, and printed RestFit’s branding onto compliant pouches. Each recharge order runs on a predictable 28-30 day production window plus trans-Pacific transit, with HLK holding buffer stock of the core SKU to avoid stockouts during US promotions.

What convinced Michael to stay was consistency: every batch is die-cut, peel-tested, and traceable to its raw-material lot, the same discipline behind HLK’s CE MDR and ISO 13485 certifications. For American brands weighing a private label nasal-strip supplier, Michael’s 18-month track record is the proof point - and HLK’s OEM program lays out the MOQ, sampling, and compliance support that made the partnership work.

Visited the facility in person before placing our first order. The production lines are clean and organized, QC is thorough. We have been working with HLK for 18 months now - consistent quality every batch.
