Sourcing & Support Package

You have a vision for your (start-up) business. You know what you want to make, but where and how do you start? How to find the right partners? How to plan your production timeline? How to present your ideas to your manufacturer? What do you need to discuss during meetings with your manufacturer? How to organize shipment if you are ordering from multiple suppliers? How to manage your production and quality (when you are not based in Bali)? And what if your manufacturer is slow (or not) responding to your messages when you are back in your country?

We have created the Sourcing & Support Package to give you as a brand owner all the information and support you need during your first year of doing production in Bali, while still letting you be in charge of your productions and build direct relationships with your production partners.

Sourcing Tour in Bali with The Bali Curator

What is included?

  • Sourcing Tour OR Remote Sourcing service

    We will create a custom itinerary for your sourcing tour to introduce you to artisans and suppliers that we have curated to work on your project. During the day you will be accompanied by our driver and a guide from our team. Lunch, water and snacks are included. And after the tour you can start working with the artisans/suppliers directly.

    If you do not have the chance to visit Bali at this time, we can do remote sourcing for you. We will introduce your project to curated manufacturers for your project, and provide you with a report with all the details about each manufacturer including their feedback/comments about your project and designs.

  • Two one-on-one consultation calls (45 minutes each)

    Two in-depth consultation calls with a senior member of our team, designed to give you clarity and confidence before and during production. In these sessions, we deep-dive into your product plans, discuss the most suitable production strategy, and help you make informed decisions around supplier selection, sampling approach, timelines, and next steps. You’ll benefit from practical advice based on hands-on experience managing production in Bali, and have space to ask specific questions related to your designs, quantities, or challenges — ensuring your production process is set up in the most effective way from the start.

  • Communication Support: 5 manufacturer follow-ups

    If, in the worst case, you are having difficulty reaching your manufacturer or feel that miscommunication is affecting your project, we’re only an email away. You can request our team to step in and contact the manufacturer or supplier on your behalf to clarify the situation and realign expectations between you and the manufacturer.

  • Runner Service: 3 tasks

    Our runner can assist with delivering or picking up materials, samples, or documents between your team and the manufacturer or supplier.

  • One-time document review

    Before you share your documents with a manufacturer, you can request a one-time document review by our team. Send us your brief, order list, or tech pack and we will review it to ensure instructions are clear, complete, and easy for the manufacturer to understand. This helps reduce misinterpretation, unnecessary back-and-forth, and production errors before the process begins.

  • One Year Shipping Assistance

    Let us know your packing list and ask your suppliers to send the products to our office, or let us know when they are ready so we can arrange pick-up. We will coordinate the shipment for you. For shipments by air you can use our DHL account (that gives you approximately 40% discount on shipping fees compared to the published rates). For shipments by sea we will collaborate with our cargo partner. Either way, shipments will be made easy.

  • Discounts on other The Bali Curator services

    You also receive exclusive discounts on other The Bali Curator services. This includes a 20% discount and priority access to our Quality Control service, helping ensure your production results match the confirmed samples before they leave Bali.
    You’ll also receive a 40% discount on our Visual Storytelling services, supporting you in presenting the story behind your products to your customers.
