—About Our Range

Stainless Steel Cutlery Wholesale in China — Complete Product Guide

Why Choose Stainless Steel Cutlery from China?

China — and Jieyang, Guangdong in particular — is the world's leading manufacturing hub for stainless steel flatware. The region's concentration of raw material suppliers, tooling specialists and skilled labour makes it possible to produce premium-quality cutlery at a fraction of the cost of European or American manufacturers.

SteelEdge Cutlery Co., Ltd. has operated in Jieyang since 2005, combining China's manufacturing efficiency with international-standard quality control. Every product in our range is tested to FDA (USA), LFGB (EU/Germany) and REACH requirements before shipment.

18/10 vs 18/0 Stainless Steel

The two most common grades in wholesale flatware are 18/10 (18% chromium, 10% nickel — premium, highly corrosion-resistant, brilliant mirror finish) and 18/0 (no nickel — magnetic, more economical, suitable for induction-ready tableware). We produce in both grades and advise clients on the optimal choice for their market and price point.

OEM & Private Label Cutlery Wholesale

All SteelEdge product categories are available for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and private-label production. This means you can have our factory produce flatware under your own brand name, with custom handle patterns, laser-engraved logos and bespoke retail packaging — all manufactured to your exact specification.

Our OEM process: inquiry → 3D design proof → physical sample (10–15 days) → mass production → pre-shipment QC → export. Tooling is developed in-house and tooling ownership is negotiable for long-term partners.

Minimum Order Quantities

Standard MOQ is 500 sets for catalogue items and 1,000 sets for new OEM designs. For hotels, restaurants and hospitality groups placing their first order, we offer trial order programmes at reduced quantities. Contact our sales team to discuss your specific requirements — we work with buyers at every scale.

Frequently asked questions

Q1: What stainless steel grades do you offer for wholesale cutlery?

We manufacture in three main grades. 18/10 stainless steel (18% chromium, 10% nickel) is our premium grade — superior corrosion resistance, brilliant mirror finish and long service life, ideal for fine dining, hotels and luxury retail. 18/0 stainless steel (no nickel) is magnetic, more economical and food-safe, popular for mass-market retail, catering and induction-ready tableware. 13/0 stainless steel is our value grade, suitable for promotional gifts and low-frequency-use applications. We advise every client on the optimal grade for their target market and price point.

Q5: What is the difference between Color Cutlery and standard stainless steel cutlery?

Our Color Cutlery range uses PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating technology applied over an 18/10 stainless steel base. Available colours include matte black, champagne gold, rose gold, gunmetal and rainbow. PVD coating is not paint or electroplating — it is a vacuum-deposited metallic layer that bonds at the molecular level, making it highly scratch-resistant, tarnish-proof and safe for commercial dishwashers. It is increasingly popular for branded restaurant concepts, rooftop bars, lifestyle retail and premium gift packaging.

Q2: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for stainless steel cutlery wholesale?

Our standard MOQ is 500 sets for catalogue items across all product categories — cutlery sets, forks, knives, spoons, serving cutlery, steak knives, kids cutlery, hotel & restaurant cutlery, color cutlery and material cutlery. For new OEM or private-label designs requiring custom tooling, the standard MOQ is 1,000 sets. For serving pieces and individual items, MOQ begins at 200 pieces per SKU. If you are placing a first trial order, please contact our sales team — we offer flexible programmes for new buyers.

Q6: What types of forks, knives and spoons do you manufacture?

Forks: dinner fork, dessert fork, fish fork, salad fork, cake fork, oyster fork, cocktail fork. Knives: dinner knife, dessert knife, fish knife, butter knife — with 420 stainless steel blades in serrated or straight-edge options, hollow or solid handle construction. Spoons: dinner spoon, dessert spoon, soup spoon, tea spoon, coffee spoon, iced tea spoon, ice cream spoon. Serving cutlery: ladles, slotted spoons, pasta tongs, salad servers, cake servers, sugar tongs, bread tongs, chafing dish utensils. All items are available in matching patterns so your full table setting coordinates perfectly.

Q3: Do you offer OEM and private-label cutlery production?

Yes — all 10 product categories are available for full OEM and private-label production. You can supply your own logo, handle pattern or complete design concept, and we will manufacture entirely under your brand. Our in-house engineering team handles 3D design proofing, tooling fabrication (in-house, ±0.05 mm precision), laser engraving and custom retail packaging. Physical samples are typically ready within 10 to 15 working days. Sample costs are credited against your first production order.

Q7: Do you supply Hotel & Restaurant grade cutlery for large hospitality groups?

Yes. Our Hotel & Restaurant Cutlery category is specifically engineered for high-volume professional food service. It features extra-heavy gauge steel, superior corrosion resistance for high-temperature dishwasher cycles, and consistent weight and finish across large batch orders. We supply five-star hotel groups, cruise lines, airline caterers and restaurant chains across Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and North America. Dedicated account management, bulk pricing tiers and ongoing stock replenishment programmes are available for hospitality clients with recurring requirements.
