Yiwu Artificial Flower Wholesale Market FAQs – Sourcing, MOQ, Shipping & Tips

 

1) Where is the Yiwu Artificial Flower Wholesale Market?

The artificial flower area is inside Yiwu International Trade City (Futian Market), District 1, 1st floor and 4th floor, Section A. That’s the main spot to compare artificial flower and decor suppliers stall-by-stall.

 

2) What can I buy at the Yiwu Artificial Flower Market?

Typical categories include artificial flower stems, bouquets, greenery/vines, garlands, wreaths, flower walls/backdrops, potted plants, and accessories like ribbons, wrapping paper, and packaging items.

 

3) What are common English names buyers use for “假花 /  仿真花” ?

In real trade conversations you’ll hear: artificial flowers, faux flowers, fake flowers, silk flowers, imitation flowers, artificial blooms, and floral stems. “Silk flowers” often means polyester fabric flowers, not real silk.

 

4) What materials are artificial flowers usually made from?

The most common are polyester fabric, plastic (PE/PVC), foam (PE foam), and premium “real touch” styles using PU / soft-touch coatings. Many bouquets are mixed-material for a fuller look at a reasonable price.

 

5) Why do two similar artificial roses have different prices?

Price differences usually come from the spec: petal layers, head size, leaf printing, stem length/wrapping, accessory count (buds/berries), finishing quality, and packing method. Always confirm the exact spec before comparing quotes.

 

6) Can artificial flowers be made with fragrance?

Yes. Factories can add scent to materials (and some use microencapsulated fragrance for slower release). If you want scented products, ask about scent longevity, sealed packaging, and compliance needs for your target market.

 

7) What’s the typical MOQ in Yiwu for artificial flowers?

MOQs vary by supplier and product, but Yiwu is known for being more flexible than many factories. Many items can be ordered by carton, and some suppliers allow mixed colors for trial orders.

 

8) What should I check before placing a bulk order?

Ask for: real photos/video, exact size, material, color options, packing details (inner box + master carton), carton measurements, gross weight, lead time, and payment terms. For bouquets, confirm stem count and accessory count.

 

9) What’s the best shipping method for artificial flowers?

Because artificial flower decor is often bulky, sea freight is usually the most cost-effective. Air freight/express can get expensive quickly due to volumetric weight. For small tests, use express; for real orders, consider LCL sea freight or FCL if volume is large.

 

10) How many days do I need to source in Yiwu?

If you’re focused, 2–5 days is common: one day to scout, one to shortlist and compare, and another day (or two) to confirm specs, samples, and place orders.

 

11) When is the best time to visit Yiwu for sourcing artificial flowers?

Many buyers like spring (around March–April) to develop new items early and ship in time for peak seasons. Avoid major holiday periods when factories and logistics slow down.

 

12) Can I source both budget and premium “real touch” flowers in Yiwu?

Yes. You can find everything from mass-market plastic stems to premium “real touch” lines. The key is to match the material and finishing to your customer needs and shipping requirements.
