What this product is

Folding reflective windshield sunshades leave China as a sun-protection panel: a silver face, a bound edge, and an accordion fold that stores in a sleeve. Film type, panel size, wire or foam ribs, and the sleeve print are the estimated reasons a quote moves. A typical first order can change the sleeve artwork and the edge binding color on an existing cut, while a new windshield outline often needs a new die. The brief should give vehicle guidance in plain size, not a promise of universal fit, plus film color, fold count, and sleeve fabric. Quoted amounts are indicative ex-works figures before freight. An approximate arrival cost varies with panel area because reflective film is light but bulky once the ribs are inserted. Potential warping after a hot-car trial belongs on the sample checklist, and the buyer should open and refold the shade several times. Name the rib material in the inquiry so the plant does not swap a steel wire for a plastic rod without a written note.

Indicative sourcing numbers

These are desk estimates for a conversation, not a factory invoice and not a retail offer from this website.

Indicative China sourcing price: $1.80 to $4.20

Indicative estimates only. Actual margins vary by supplier, quantity, specifications, shipping, duties, taxes, marketplace fees, advertising and destination market.

Why it is interesting

Panel size and rib material explain most of the spread before freight is added.
Sleeve art is a first-order print change on a stock fold pattern.

What to specify

Form: Folding reflective panel
Face: Silver film unless another film is briefed
Store: Accordion fold in a sleeve
Ribs: Wire or foam, named in the brief
Fit line: Plain size guidance, not a universal claim

Customization and private label

Sleeve art and binding color can change on the first order, while a new windshield outline needs a cutting die.

Some customization is realistic on this kind of product. Private label packaging is often possible once artwork is approved. Read how private label manufacturing in China is handled, and when a new product needs the OEM/ODM path.

How the desk would source it

Note 1. Name rib material and panel size, and skip a universal-fit line unless a die already matches it.
Note 2. Open and refold the sample several times before approving the film.

The usual path is the same as other China factory sourcing: confirm the spec, compare factories, sample, then inspect before shipment. China supplier verification and China quality inspection are available. Goods can be received at the Xiamen warehouse and moved through China warehouse consolidation or sea, air, and express freight.
