Back-to-school # Back-to-school backpacks, lunch kits and pencil cases Children's lines with EN 71-3 testing, reflective trim and a delivery window set by the school calendar. Project mark - **Units per colour**: 500–3,000 - **Key test**: EN 71-3 - **Sample**: 7–12 days - **Ship by**: May–June - **Port**: Shanghai / Ningbo ## The brief Children's lines carry extra compliance: EN 71-3 migration of certain elements, small-parts assessment, and in some markets phthalate testing on printed surfaces. Reflective trim and chest straps are common asks. The school calendar sets a hard delivery window, so the programme is planned backwards from the in-store date — usually with samples approved before Chinese New Year and bulk shipping in May or June. ### What the buyer has to hold - EN 71-3 and phthalate reports issued before bulk ships - No small detachable parts on products for younger children - Matching backpack, lunch bag and pencil case as one set - Planned around Chinese New Year factory closure ## The build we quote The starting construction for this channel.
