Corrugated Cat Scratcher Factory in Shenzhen

Operators stacking corrugated cat scratchers parts beside the converting line on the factory floor.

In-house corrugated manufacturing

Petaful manufactures custom corrugated cat scratchers, houses, litter trays, scratching posts, and toys at a 20,000 m² plant in Longgang, Shenzhen. Offset printing, lamination, die-cutting, odor-free cornstarch gluing, pressing, and moisture drying stay in-house, so board density, glue bond, and low-dust edges follow one signed specification.

OEM work starts from your drawing. ODM work starts from one of 200+ in-house molds. Artwork in PDF, AI, or EPS follows the signed structure sample; repeat orders use that master, and an NDA can be signed before proprietary files are shared. Since 2020, this floor has supplied private-label brands, retail chains, and distributors across 30+ markets.

  • Since 2020 Direct factory founded

    In-house converting from raw board to retail-ready export cartons.

  • 20,000 m² Factory floor

    Structural R&D, die-cutting, drying, and quality checks share this floor.

  • 100+ Factory team

    Sampling, board processing, finishing, quality checks, and packing.

  • 30+ Export markets

    Pet brands, retailers, and importers on EXW, FOB, or DDP.

OEM and ODM decisions locked before bulk

Four decisions before a volume run: the mold, the sample, a trial, and the quality gates.

  • In-house molds

    ODM starts on one of 200+ dies already cutting. OEM starts from the drawing or print-ready file you send. A lounge can stay on an existing die while a custom house follows your file.

  • Sample window

    A drawing for a new idea is usually ready in 3 days. The official sample is usually ready in 5–7 days after the structure and artwork are confirmed, and new customers can request that sample free.

  • Trial, then reorder

    A short trial can ship before the volume reorder. After the official sample is signed, OEM bulk is usually 30–45 days and ODM bulk is usually 45–60 days, logistics included. A complex build adds 10–15 days.

  • Three checkpoints

    Incoming board is checked for hardness and moisture before the line starts. Glue bonding, fit, moisture, and dust are checked while the job runs. Finished goods are checked before the carton closes, and a buyer-appointed inspector can join the lot you name.

Six factory departments, from design to packing

Each station follows the signed specification, from raw corrugated board to container loading.

  • An operator at the press console inside the plant, watching the run so every sheet stays sale-ready.

    R&D & Design

    Turns a sketch, a retail photo, or a CAD file into a structure drawing before artwork is applied.

    You leave with a flat-pack dieline and a white structure sample.

  • A die-cut operator guiding corrugated board through the plant, keeping every scratcher blank true to the die.

    Production

    Laminates, presses, and die-cuts pads, lounges, cat houses, and seasonal displays in the B, BC, or E flute named on the sample.

    Slot fit and low-dust edges follow the signed dieline.

  • The press area on the plant floor, where corrugated sheets are printed before they become cat scratchers.

    QC & Testing

    Checks incoming board hardness, in-process glue bonding, and finished-goods fit on every lot.

    IQC, IPQC, and FQC are recorded against the signed sample.

  • A folder-gluer operator on the finishing line, folding corrugated parts square and ready for assembly.

    Warehouse

    Stages raw board and finished cartons in dry, ventilated bays, and pulls holiday inventory ahead of the season.

    FSC-certified board is issued only when the order requires chain of custody.

  • The Komori offset press line inside the plant, printing crisp brand artwork onto corrugated board.

    Packaging & print

    Confirms color against the approved artwork, then packs barcodes, carton marks, and retail inserts.

    A seasonal run can keep the inner scratch pads and change only the outer print.

  • Staff at a workstation in the factory, keeping the scratcher line moving from one station to the next.

    After-sales

    Keeps the signed dieline, approved color, and lot records for the next wholesale order.

    One English sales thread follows the sample, the three checkpoints, and the shipment.

Three wholesale programs this floor supports

Most orders start as a brand extension, a retail replenishment, or a distributor reorder.

  • Brand extension

    For a pet brand adding corrugated scratchers beside its existing pet range.

    • A new structure from your drawing, or your artwork on a mold already in use.
    • PDF, AI, or EPS. The print is signed on the sample before bulk.
    • Holiday art stays on that signed shape.

  • Retail replenishment

    For a retailer or importer testing a range, then replenishing the items that sell through.

    • Flat or nested pack when the shape allows it.
    • The export carton is planned with the die, not after the blanks are cut.
    • Carton marks, barcodes, and inserts are confirmed with the approved packing standard.

  • Distributor reorder

    For a wholesaler placing the next order of a shape that already sold through.

    • The signed sample is the bulk specification.
    • A reorder does not reopen the dieline unless you ask for a new structure.
    • Sales stays on the job in English through shipment.

Certificates on file

ISO 9001, FSC, amfori BSCI, and SMETA. The number and scope are on each scan.

IQC, IPQC, and FQC on each lot

Incoming board, the running job, then finished goods.

Send the lot
IQC

Grade, hardness, and moisture are checked before board is fed, so a damaged pallet does not become a blank.

IPQC

Glue bonding, slot fit, moisture, and dust are checked against the signed sample while the job runs.

FQC

Finished goods are checked before the shipment leaves. Name the lot and the date if a third-party inspector should attend this check.
