About Tendlyn

Guangzhou Tendlyn Trading Co., Ltd. (Tendlyn) designs and manufactures custom DTC packaging for brands shipping worldwide. Founded in Guangzhou in 2009.

Packaging for brands that ship worldwide

Tendlyn helps DTC brands, designers, and packaging companies turn product stories into physical packaging that travels well. We combine design discipline with manufacturing control—so what looks right on a mood board still looks right after ocean freight and last-mile delivery.

Company

Guangzhou Tendlyn Trading Co., Ltd. is the legal entity behind the Tendlyn brand. We have operated from Guangzhou, Guangdong, China since 2009, coordinating design, sampling, and OEM production for export markets.

Our day-to-day work is practical: readable briefs, honest samples, predictable press runs, and packing that survives the journey to your warehouse.

What we make

Our core lines cover the full unboxing system: packaging boxes, tissue paper, logo stickers, sealing stickers, packaging bags, hang tags, and insert cards. Clients often brief a complete set so materials, color, and finishes stay consistent.

Who we work with

  • DTC brands building a repeatable unboxing experience
  • Designers who need production-aware partners
  • Packaging companies seeking a reliable OEM for specialty or overflow runs

We frequently support perfume, candles, cosmetics, coffee, cakes, and lifestyle categories where packaging is part of the product.

Quality, compliance & certifications

As a Guangzhou-based trading and OEM packaging partner, we route work through audited production partners and document the checks that matter for export brands.

  • ISO 9001 quality systems — Production partners operate under ISO 9001 quality-management practices for process control, documentation, and corrective action.
  • FSC Chain of Custody (on request) — FSC CoC paper options available for eligible carton and tissue programs when brand sustainability claims require certified fiber.
  • Material & chemical compliance support — Guidance for REACH-aware material selection and food-contact / cosmetics-adjacent packaging requests; documentation shared during sampling.
  • Color & print control — Digital proofs, physical golden samples, and production color checks so brand boards survive press and freight—not just the screen.

How we earn trust on every order

Clear sampling path

Digital proof → physical sample → written sign-off before mass production.

Export packing standards

Carton marking, moisture protection, and warehouse-ready palletizing for overseas fulfillment.

Named project ownership

Every order has a client lead and a production lead—no anonymous inbox handoffs.
