Golf Ball Factory vs Trading Company: How to Tell the Difference

A golf ball factory manufactures balls directly on its own production line and can be verified by factory visit, video call from the production floor, or business license review. A trading company sources from factories and acts as an intermediary. The risk is when a trading company presents itself as a factory and cannot be verified. For private-label programs, always verify factory identity before committing to bulk production.

5 Verification Questions

(1) What is your factory's registered name and address? (2) Can I visit the production floor or join a video call from the factory? (3) Who makes the final quality decision — you or the factory? (4) Can you show me the factory's business license? (5) If there is a quality issue after delivery, who is responsible? A factory can answer all five directly. A trading company typically deflects or provides vague answers.
