What this product is

Hook-on trays that rest across a steering wheel are the China-sourced product in view, and they are meant for a parked cabin rather than a moving drive. Tray width, hook depth, surface covering, and whether a tablet ledge is molded are the estimated quote movers. A typical first order can private-label a color and a printed top when the mold exists, while a new hook geometry needs tooling. State in the brief the wheel diameter the hooks should accept, the tray depth, the material, and any cup or pen recess. Workshop sheets list an indicative ex-works price before freight. An approximate delivered figure varies with the covering, because a soft skin and a plain PP face do not pack or price alike. Potential rocking on a thick aftermarket wheel should be tested with the hook sample the plant sends. Note in the inquiry that the tray is a stationary accessory, and ask which wheel diameters the current mold already covers.

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: $2.80 to $6
Suggested retail range: $18 to $32
Estimated gross margin: 35% to 55%

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

Why it is interesting

The tray is a parked-car accessory, so the brief can stay on hook fit and surface.
A printed top is a first-order graphic change when the mold is already open.

What to specify

Mount: Hooks over the steering wheel
Use note: Parked cabin
Surface: Plain or printed top
Material: ABS or PP, with or without a soft skin
Recesses: Cup or pen only if briefed

Customization and private label

Color and a printed top surface can be set on an existing mold, while a new hook depth or tray width needs tooling.

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 the wheel diameters the hooks must accept, and test a thick wheel if that is your case.
Note 2. Keep the use description as a parked-car tray in the brief.

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.
