Rectangular Dishwashing Sponge
A rectangular loofah dish sponge in two sizes — the like-for-like shape of the kitchen sponge shoppers already use. Specification and checks below.
What it is
The rectangular sponge is a flat cut of dense loofah fibre with a hanging cord, in the same shape as the yellow kitchen sponge it replaces. That makes it the easiest plastic-free swap to explain on a shelf card or in a listing title.
- Two sizes: S 8 × 11 cm and M 10.5 × 13.5 cm.
- Packs flat; compression packing is available on request for multi-pack formats.
- Usually sold alongside the teardrop shape as a two-SKU kitchen family.

Is it the right SKU for your range?
Suitable for
- Multi-packs priced against a month of plastic sponges.
- Zero-waste and refill shops.
- Marketplace listings built around the “swap”.
Less suitable when
- The listing promises a fixed lifespan — use care guidance instead.
- The pack must carry a compostability claim you have not substantiated.
How to specify and order
- Pick the SKUs and sizes
Action: Choose the formats that fit your channel. Most first orders use two or three SKUs rather than the whole range.
Result: A short list you can photograph, price and reorder. - Approve a physical sample
Action: Request up to 3 free samples, measure them, wet them, and keep one as the retained reference.
Result: An agreed physical standard a later delivery is checked against.Note: Photographs show natural variation but are not a specification.
- Fix the pack format, then the artwork
Action: Decide bulk bag, individual bag, kraft sleeve, box or bundle, and whether you need a barcode.
Result: A pack size and weight you can use for freight and marketplace listings.Note: Artwork designed before the pack format is fixed usually has to be redone.
- Confirm terms and documents
Action: Name the destination, the Incoterm with its named place, and the certificates your customs entry needs.
Result: A shipment booked with its paperwork rather than chasing it after arrival.

Branding and packaging
Labels, hang tags, kraft sleeves, printed boxes, bundle sets and barcodes are available. The minimum for printed packaging depends on the pack format and print method and is confirmed in the quote, together with a mockup for approval before production.
- Bulk bag, individual bag, kraft paper band or sleeve, printed box, gift box or bundle.
- Your barcode (including an Amazon FNSKU) can be applied before packing.
- Plastic-free packs are possible, but the whole pack has to be specified — see components and plastic-free packs.
For an approved design under your brand, see private label; for a new shape or size, see OEM/ODM.
Quality checks on this item
- Cord attachment on every piece.
- Size and thickness against the approved sample.
- Fibre density and breaks.
- Odour and mould check before bagging.
Moisture is checked with a moisture meter on every batch and must read 12% or below before packing. Ask for the reading filed against your lot.
Review our factories and production steps, the quality checks we run on every batch and the export documents and testing scope before approving your order.
Care text you can print
Rinse after use, squeeze out the water and hang to dry in an airy place between uses. Replace the item when the fibre starts to break up, stays damp or smells musty. Remove any non-fibre parts — fabric backing, cord, wooden handle, label — before disposing of the fibre.
Avoid giving a lifespan in days or weeks on the pack. How long loofah lasts depends on use and drying, not on the product alone. What to write instead.
Order terms
| Order detail | Planning information |
|---|---|
| MOQ | 100 pcs per SKU. Mixed-SKU first orders are possible; the minimum applies to each SKU in the order. |
| Private label | Labels, hang tags, kraft sleeves, printed boxes, bundle sets and barcodes are available. The minimum for printed packaging depends on the pack format and print method and is confirmed in the quote, together with a mockup for approval before production. |
| Samples | 3 free samples per request. The buyer covers the courier cost. We confirm the selection and the courier cost before dispatch. Custom prototypes are quoted separately on timing and cost. |
| Production lead time | Production lead time depends on the SKU mix, the quantity and whether the order carries your own packaging. It is confirmed in the quotation, after sample, artwork and order approval. Production time is not an arrival date: sea transit, customs clearance and inland delivery come on top. |
| Payment | 30% deposit on a stock-packaging order, 50% when the order carries your own label or printed box, balance against shipping documents. Air shipments are settled in full before the goods are handed over at the airport. |
| Incoterms | EXW, FCA, FOB, CIF, DAP and DDP are quoted; always name the place with the term. FCA is the correct term for an air shipment — FOB is not. DDP suits a first-time importer who would rather not handle customs, though import VAT is usually not recoverable that way; DAP suits a VAT-registered buyer. |
| Export documents | Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading or Air Waybill, Certificate of Origin (the form depends on the destination — EUR.1 for the EU under the EVFTA, Form B as standard), and a Phytosanitary Certificate and Fumigation Certificate where the destination requires them. Batch moisture readings are available on request. Laboratory testing is arranged separately on request. |
| Shipping | Confirm destination, Incoterm with named place, transport mode and the shipment-specific document list. Freight is not included unless stated in the quotation. |

Buyer questions
Is it the same fibre as the teardrop sponge?
Yes, dense kitchen-grade fibre in a different cut. Many buyers order both under one pack design.
Can it be sold in a multi-pack?
Yes. Tell us the count per pack and the pack format; both are confirmed on a sample with your artwork.
Can I get samples of this exact item?
Yes. Up to 3 free samples per request; you cover the courier. Ask for the size and packaging you intend to sell, so the sample matches the order.
Are the photos and sizes a binding specification?
No. Photos show the range and natural variation. The approved sample and the purchase-order specification define what is supplied.
