A. Company Profile, Catalogue and Product Range
Q: Could you introduce your company and your manufacturing capabilities?
A: This is Eva from Shanli Crafts Factory (Shanli Company). Our factory is located in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province — a major hub for plastic manufacturing in China — and we specialize in producing decorative items made from injection-molded plastic, acrylic, and PS materials. We have specialized in manufacturing acrylic liquid sensory bubble toys for thirteen years, and we have nearly 50 different products. A unique feature of our products is that they can be filled with liquids, glitter, or small 3D cartoon figures, which float freely inside, giving them a lively appearance. Our products are very popular in the field of children’s education; the slow flow of colorful liquid helps relieve stress and cultivate concentration. We understand your company’s business and would very much like our products to be included in your range/kits, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve your company.
Q: Could you please send us your catalogue of liquid glitter keychains, tabletop snow globes and other similar products?
A: Conact with us provide our product catalog, which includes keychain snow globes and other items. Please take a look. Our products are all of the same high quality; there are no different grades. Overall, the quality is excellent. Since we have a wide range of products, I’ve put together a PDF catalog for you — please select the styles you like. For Case 3, the attached price list features ready-made designs for you to browse; once you’ve selected a style, I’ll provide you with an exact quote. Our products are primarily targeted at theme parks, tourist attractions, and aquariums; fridge magnets are our best-selling items.
Q: Do you offer different quality levels (entry-level, standard and premium)?
A: Our products are all of the same high quality; there are no different grades. Overall, the quality is excellent. Likewise, for liquids there are no quality tiers ,only purified water and oil the two combinations described below are available.
Q: What sizes and shapes do you offer?
A: For glass snow globes, the best-selling sizes are 45mm, 60mm, 80mm, 100mm, and 120mm. For sensory bottles, the products are ideal for children aged 3–4, and their size is perfectly suited for this age group (child-friendly handheld size). Specific shapes are shown in our catalog.
Q: For keychains, what materials do you use for the transparent shells (acrylic or other plastics)?
A: The metal keychain chain is made of iron with a nickel-plated finish, and the transparent casing is made of acrylic — specifically, the CM205 model from Taiwan’s Chi Mei.
Q: What are the differences in transparency, scratch resistance, impact resistance and long-term durability?
A: The acrylic (Chi Mei CM205) performs well in terms of transparency, durability, and surface scratch resistance; it is of excellent quality. More generally, our materials are highly transparent, eco-friendly ECO acrylic, which is both eco-friendly and durable. (Impact resistance of the keychain shell is not specifically detailed.)
Q: For tabletop snow globes, do you offer both glass and acrylic versions? What are the differences in quality and price?
A: We offer both glass and plastic options. Glass globes: best-selling sizes 45mm, 60mm, 80mm, 100mm, and 120mm; the bases are made of resin, and the 3D figurines are also made of resin. Plastic snow globes are produced using injection molding, typically made of ABS + acrylic or PS, and can also hold 3D figurines inside. The prices for these two different manufacturing processes vary significantly. Our catalog features several plastic snow globe styles; once you’ve selected your preferred model and provided the order quantity, I’ll calculate the exact price for you.
Q: What finishes are available?
A: The metal keychain chain has a nickel-plated finish. Other finishes and color options are shown in the attached catalog and glitter/liquid color references.
Q: What are the product dimensions, materials and weight (for the 6″ x 4″ blocks and similar items)?
A: Our factory specializes in producing decorative items made from injection-molded plastic, acrylic, and PS materials, filled with liquids, glitter, or small 3D cartoon figures; our materials are highly transparent, eco-friendly ECO acrylic. Specific dimensions 15.5*10.5*2.3cm,weight is 345g
Q: What about packaging and carton quantities/dimensions?
A: To prevent damage during shipping, we will ship the products on pallets to ensure they are well-protected. Our quotation will include product materials, dimensions, packaging, and other details.
B. Custom 3D Figurines
Q: What types of files do you need from us to manufacture custom figurines? Are 2D sketches showing different views sufficient, or do you require 3D files (STL, OBJ, STEP)?
A: Please send them to me in STL format.
Q: Can your design team create 3D models from our drawings?
A: Yes. Our designers can create 3D models based on the drawings you provide.
Q: Do you provide 3D renderings for approval before production?
A: Once you confirm the drawings, we will produce the colored 3D figurines. Attached are the 3D figurine drawings and finished product samples for your reference.
Q: Can the same figurines be used for both keychains and snow globes of different sizes?
A: The same 3D figurine can be used to make different keychains, but since snow globe products are big size, they likely can’t share the same 3D figurine. However, the 3D figurine floating inside the snow globe shown in the attached image can be used for multiple products.
Q: Could you also send us high-resolution photos of 3D figurines you have already manufactured, along with examples of your 3D renderings? We would particularly like to assess the level of detail, sculpting quality and paint finishing you can achieve on small figurines.
A: Contact us get the 3D figurine drawings and finished product samples for your reference. We also have existing molds for cartoon designs featuring,such as Sea turtles, mermaids, starfish, sea lions, stingrays, seals, jellyfish, divers, octopuses, elephants, rabbits, hedgehogs, blue whales, mascots, sharks, penguins, pandas, polar bears, clownfish, dolphins, seashells, swim rings, guitars, pianos, sharks, ducks, dinosaurs, tigers, cruise ships, skulls,glaciers, Big Ben Tower of London Eiffel Tower Ferris wheel.
Q: What customization capabilities do you have (e.g., existing miniature components, glitter inside frames)?A: We offer cartoon customization, colored liquid customization, logo customization, packaging customization, and shape customization services. Glitter can be added within the frame of the product. Contact us for our glitter catalog, which features hundreds of different colors and shapes to choose from for free. We specialize in two styles: “Pure Water” (where small 3D cartoon figures sink to the bottom of the water) and “Pure Water + Oil” (where small 3D cartoon figures float between the water layer and the oil layer).
C. Liquids, Glitter and Customization
Q: What types of liquids do you use in your keychains, snow globes and sensory bottles?
A: The liquid used in keychain products is oil and purified water, while the liquid in glass snow globes is purified water. For sensory bottles, the liquid consists of oil and purified water; it is harmless to children. These are the only two combinations available; there are no quality tiers. Products 1–5 in your PDF all contain purified water, with small 3D cartoons sinking to the bottom; we also have a purified water + oil style (see the “blue liquid” example in the attached images), which allows the small 3D cartoon figures to float between the water and oil layers. We specialize in both styles.
Q: Do you offer different liquid quality levels, particularly regarding transparency, viscosity and long-term stability?
A: There are no quality tiers — these are the only two combinations available. The liquid remains liquid at normal temperatures (around 0°C) and does not freeze.

Q: Do you carry out leak-proof testing, impact resistance testing, temperature variation testing and aging tests?
A: We test our products for leaks using a vacuum machine and assess seal integrity through tensile testing. The liquid remains liquid at normal temperatures (around 0°C) and does not freeze. For sensory bottles, the products are sealed using ultrasonic welding before being filled with liquid; the liquid will not leak unless the product is dropped and broken.
