Canton Fair Phase 2 wrapped on 27 April. If you weren't there, you didn't miss the opportunity — you just need a different starting point.
Every year, a significant portion of Winko's new projects begin not on the exhibition floor, but over email, a short call, or a simple online enquiry form. The outcome is the same. The process is just more direct.
Here's how to start a metal giftware project with Winko in 30 minutes — from wherever you are.
Why 20 Minutes Is Enough to Get Started
A common misconception in B2B manufacturing sourcing is that starting a project requires a detailed technical brief, a face-to-face meeting, or weeks of back-and-forth before anything meaningful happens.
It doesn't.
What our design and production team actually needs to give you a useful first response — preliminary feasibility, indicative pricing, and a realistic timeline — is straightforward. You probably already know most of it.
What to Have Ready
Before you fill in our Get a Quote form, spend a few minutes gathering the following. Most buyers already have this information — it's just a matter of pulling it together in one place.
What you're looking for?
A general product direction is enough to start. Are you looking for serving trays, trinket boxes, photo frames, or a coordinated gifting set? Or do you have a custom concept in mind that doesn't exist in our current range?
Your intended application
Retail display, corporate gifting, hospitality procurement, or OEM development — each has different implications for finish selection, packaging, and MOQ. Knowing your end use helps us respond with the right options immediately.
Approximate quantity
A ballpark is fine at this stage. We work with buyers across a wide range of order volumes — what matters is having a general sense of scale so we can guide you toward the right product format and pricing tier.
Finish direction
If you have a preference — gold, silver, rose gold, champagne gold, chrome, or gunmetal — include it. If you're not sure, tell us your application and we'll recommend the finish that performs best in that context.
Your timeline
When do you need finished goods? Working backwards from your launch or delivery date is the fastest way to identify whether standard production or an expedited schedule is required.
Fill In the Form. We Handle the Rest.
Once you submit your Get a Quote enquiry, here's what happens:
Within 3 working days: Our team reviews your enquiry and responds with preliminary feasibility, indicative pricing, and next steps — including whether we recommend starting with our existing Woven Glow or Delft Blue FW26 collections, or developing something custom.
From there: We schedule a consultation, prepare a tailored proposal, and move into design and prototyping once the direction is confirmed.
The post-Canton Fair window is when production capacity fills fastest. Buyers who start the conversation now are the ones who hit their H2 deadlines comfortably.

You don't need a booth visit, a flight to Guangzhou, or a perfectly formatted technical document.
