Whether you are a procurement manager for a sports facility project, an operator of a commercial sports stadium, or a distributor of sports flooring materials, choosing a sports flooring company requires time and experience. This can be achieved through various online and offline channels, with the ultimate goal of finding the best company. The best criteria are good quality and a reasonable price. This is a common finding we at Dongxing Plastic have observed through our interactions with numerous users.
1. How to Judge the Product Quality of a Sports Flooring Company?
Obtain or check relevant test reports and certifications for sports flooring, such as international competition certifications like BWF, ITTF, and FIBA, as well as ISO and CE certifications. Data in the test reports, having undergone professional testing and meeting international standards, is a core element in ensuring quality. However, in many cases, not all sports venues or clubs require competition-grade sports surface materials, so choosing certified products will increase costs. After all, not only certified PVC flooring can meet sports performance requirements.
Therefore, to address this issue, conducting intuitive tests on samples allows for quick and effective verification of whether a long service life can be guaranteed or whether standard sports performance can be provided, such as hitting, striking, rebound, and the player’s ability to execute movements flawlessly.
2. How to get the best price?
We have communicated with our direct potential buyers at offline exhibitions, such as the 2025 China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair). This was because their understanding of our product pricing and the methods and channels through which they learned about our company provided valuable insights. This is crucial for us to clearly understand the impression our brand and products have on international clients and among our actual customers, and to understand why they choose us, thus facilitating better service improvement.
Our partner is from Bangladesh, and we cannot disclose his name. For indoor and outdoor sports flooring, besides quality, his primary concern is price. Of course, this doesn’t mean the cheaper the better; we all know that you get what you pay for. We also provided him with different price points and product positioning options to help him choose.
He suggested how to obtain more favorable prices when purchasing sports flooring: Find the primary manufacturer.
Yes, and fortunately, that’s exactly what we are. We are the primary factory, the source factory, the manufacturer. Only by finding the factory, not a distributor, can you get a first-hand quote. We firmly believe this. After all, there will always be a markup between production and retail, and the intermediary e-commerce platforms. For buyers, if they can’t choose the factory, the price of the product will only continue to rise.
3. How to determine if the company you’re looking for is the factory?
On-site factory visits are the best way. This is the best way to prove whether a sports flooring company is a source manufacturer or a trading company.
Finding factories through offline exhibitions and online brand websites is the best way. We also welcome friends from all over the world to learn about our production bases. We believe that this will increase mutual trust and build a foundation for long-term cooperation.
Summary
Yes, this is the most valuable experience we can offer, helping us improve our services and providing some advice for purchasing. From raw materials to PVC vinyl flooring rolls, the factory can flexibly control every step of the production process, which determines the degree of customization. Through flexible customization of patterns, colors, logos, sizes, texture depth, foam layer thickness, fiberglass layer quantity, and wear layer thickness, precise matching can be achieved for both indoor and outdoor sports venues. This in itself is a way to reduce purchase costs and can lead to higher returns in the long-term operation of sports venues.
