Partnership Program

Become a Distributor

Three partnership tiers for wallcovering dealers, A&D firms and importers — with wholesale pricing, private-label options and dedicated account support. Currently serving distributors on four continents.

Updated: May 2026By: Grasscloths Team8 min read

Most wallcovering brands lock distributors into rigid programs with high minimums, mandatory showroom purchases and inflexible pricing. We do it differently. As a Chengdu-based manufacturer with 15+ years in the trade, we partner directly with distributors — no traditional distribution channels, no franchise fees, no mandatory showroom fixtures. You get wholesale pricing and the flexibility to build your wallcovering business your way.

Quick answer: Three tiers: Authorized Dealer (500+ m²/year, 35–45% off retail), Premier Partner (2,000+ m²/year, 50–60% off + private label), Exclusive Partner (5,000+ m²/year, best pricing + territory exclusivity). No upfront fees, no mandatory showroom purchases.

Pricing Structure

Our distributor pricing is tiered by volume, not by relationship length. A new partner ordering 3,000 m² gets the same pricing as a 5-year partner ordering the same volume. Pricing is transparent and based on:

  • Material type — grasscloth, sisal, wood veneer, mica, cork, metallic
  • Order volume — per-order quantity drives per-unit pricing
  • Customization — standard colorways vs custom dye-matching
  • Shipping terms — FOB, CIF or DDP pricing available

See our complete cost guide for detailed pricing by material type.

Private-Label Program

Available to Premier and Exclusive partners. We produce wallcoverings with our partner mills under your branding, your packaging, your product codes. Your customers never see our name.

  • Custom packaging — your logo on roll wrapping, labels and sample books
  • Product naming — your SKU system, your collection names
  • Sample books — professionally bound books with your brand identity
  • Setup fee — free for orders of 1,000+ m² per SKU

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order to become a distributor?

Distributor approval is based on business fit, market coverage and annual purchase potential. Your first stock order can be discussed as a trial quantity, while custom colorways and private label orders start at 50 rolls.

Can I sell under my own brand name?

Yes. Our private-label program is available to qualified partners. We produce wallcoverings with your branding, packaging and labeling. OEM and private label orders start at 50 rolls.

Do you offer territory exclusivity?

Territory exclusivity is available at the Exclusive Partner tier (5,000+ m²/year). Premier partners receive priority territory status — we limit other distributors in your region but don't guarantee exclusivity.
