Short answer: To buy a wholesale loofah sponge for a value shelf, pick the smaller and simpler items, order each code at the tier your volume reaches, and set your shelf price from the landed cost, not from the factory price. Every code has four quantity tiers, and we always show the four together.
Items that fit a value shelf
These are the smaller and simpler items of our range. They take little shelf space and need no long explanation.
- Small oval body sponge L1001S: 11 x 14 cm, cotton backing and edges.
- Small rectangle body sponge L1002S: 11 x 14 cm.
- Round body scrubber L1003: 14 x 14 cm.
- Raw loofah with rope L1006S: 15 cm (or L1006, 18 cm), hanging rope 100% cotton.
- Kitchen pads: oval L1010 and rectangle L1011 at 11 x 8 cm, round L1013 at 10 x 10 cm, each with a cotton hanging loop.
A value range can mix bath and kitchen items: both are plain loofah with a cotton part, and both are sold by the piece.
The four tiers of each code
The tiers are 1 to 499, 500 to 1,999, 2,000 to 4,999 and 5,000 and over. The lines below are printed from our price system, so they are never out of date.
Small oval body sponge L1001S: Price per unit (USD, EX-Works Damanhour): 1 to 499 units: $0.98; 500 to 1,999 units: $0.82; 2,000 to 4,999 units: $0.70; 5,000+ units: $0.55.
Small rectangle body sponge L1002S: Price per unit (USD, EX-Works Damanhour): 1 to 499 units: $0.98; 500 to 1,999 units: $0.82; 2,000 to 4,999 units: $0.70; 5,000+ units: $0.55.
Raw loofah with rope L1006S, 15 cm: Price per unit (USD, EX-Works Damanhour): 1 to 499 units: $1.55; 500 to 1,999 units: $1.30; 2,000 to 4,999 units: $1.12; 5,000+ units: $0.87.
Oval kitchen pad L1010, 11 x 8 cm: Price per unit (USD, EX-Works Damanhour): 1 to 499 units: $0.78; 500 to 1,999 units: $0.65; 2,000 to 4,999 units: $0.56; 5,000+ units: $0.43.
Prices are USD per piece, EX-Works Damanhour. Freight, duty and VAT are separate lines.
Tier edges: when one more piece costs less
The price of a line drops as soon as the line reaches the next tier. So 500 pieces of one code can cost less in total than 499 pieces. Before you fix a quantity, look at the edge: if your plan says 450 to 499 pieces, ask for 500 as well and compare the two totals. Do the same near 2,000 and near 5,000.
An example with assumed shop numbers (not measured figures): 20 shops that each take 25 small oval sponges need 500 pieces of L1001S. That quantity is already in the 500 to 1,999 tier.
From factory price to shelf price
Work out the margin on the landed cost of one piece. Landed cost per piece = (goods value EX-Works + freight + duty + other import costs) / number of pieces. Then: margin = (shelf price without VAT – landed cost) / shelf price without VAT.
Two notes make the sum honest. First, take the goods value from the tier of your real quantity. Second, do not leave freight out. Loofah is always compressed before shipping, but it still takes space, so freight can be a large share of a value item. On each product page the Buy online box shows the freight before you pay: Air Express DAP for any quantity, CFR by air or sea from 1,000 pieces. For an exact line on your whole list, ask for a quote.
What keeps a value item from looking cheap
A low shelf price does not have to mean a weak item. Our sponges use 100% cotton backing and edges, and the Egyptian loofah is soft and gentle from the first use. Before packing, each order is checked by hand for colour, holes, size and dryness. If any item is faulty, we replace it with your next order.
Packed for your shelf
A value shelf often sells the item as it is, with a small label. Private label, printed labels and hang tags start at 1,000 units, at extra cost. You can see the full body range in the body loofah category and the pads in the kitchen loofah category.

Quick answers
Is there a minimum order for a value range?
No. There is no minimum order on standard products.
Do the four tiers apply to every body and kitchen code?
Yes. Each body and kitchen code has four tiers: 1 to 499, 500 to 1,999, 2,000 to 4,999 and 5,000 and over.
Why can 500 pieces cost less than 499?
Because 500 pieces reach the second tier, so the whole line is priced at the lower tier price.
Are the prices delivered prices?
No. They are EX-Works Damanhour. The Buy online box on each product page adds Air Express DAP for any quantity, or CFR by air or sea from 1,000 pieces.
