Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) Service
We bring 20+ years of sourcing experience to every project, with pre-shipment inspection built in. You get eyes on the factory floor to spot defects and verify compliance before shipping.
Get Started
Detailed Product Checks
Hidden defects often slip through until goods arrive, when fixing them is too late and costly. We inspect random samples from every finished order and compare them to your approved specs and samples. With over 20 years of sourcing experience, our team knows exactly what to look for and where factories tend to cut corners. You avoid surprises and ship products you can trust.
Independent Inspection Report
Paying a supplier’s balance without proof puts all the financial risk on you. Our team delivers a photo-rich inspection report with measurements and pass/fail results before you release payment. Trusted by more than 500 clients across 15 countries, we provide a level of transparency that factories can’t match. You stay in control of the transaction and safeguard your investment.
Packaging & Compliance Verification
Weak packaging and non-compliance can cause customer complaints, customs delays, and damage to your brand. We confirm labels, packaging, and consistency, such as CE, CCC, and FDA requirements, so every item is ready for your market. Drawing on decades of experience across multiple industries, we understand the exact standards your products must meet. You deliver professionally packaged, fully compliant goods that pass inspections and build long-term customer trust.

How we work
Our work centres around these four types of businesses, but any company that needs custom branded products manufactured is welcome to get in touch.
Send us your product idea, project requirements, or the goals you are trying to achieve. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out, but the more context you can share upfront, the faster we can move.
Helpful details include product type, estimated quantities, target price point, any specs or references you have, and your ideal timeline. A rough direction is enough to get started.
We’ll get on a call to walk through your project, discuss scope, and talk through the best approach. This is where we align on what’s realistic, identify the right solutions, and map out the services needed to deliver.
By the end of this step, you’ll have a clear direction and a plan we can both move forward with.
We coordinate product development and sampling so you can review real products before committing to production. This includes supplier sourcing, development rounds, and revisions until the product matches your requirements.
You approve based on what you can see and hold, not assumptions.
Once samples are approved and you’re ready to proceed, a deposit is collected to confirm the order and kick off production. From here we manage manufacturing directly with our suppliers and keep you updated on progress and timelines throughout.
We oversee quality throughout production rather than just at the end, catching issues while they’re still easy to fix. Once production is complete, we coordinate any packaging, kitting, or pack assembly required so everything is finished and ready to ship.
We manage the shipping and logistics execution to get your products where they need to go — whether that’s a single warehouse, multiple locations, or dropshipped directly to individual addresses. You’ll be kept informed until everything is delivered and confirmed.
Testimonials
A great packaging partner. We have worked with Sphere Resources over many years and have always found them easy to work with and very efficient. In addition, and perhaps more important, the quality of their work is excellent and we are proud to showcase our chocolates in Sphere supplied packaging.
