Saferich comes from the same Zaozhuang factory as Farroad, and the pattern numbers run in parallel. Saferich FRC16, FRC26 and FRC96 match Farroad FRD16, FRD26 and FRD96. Importers can therefore expect similar size coverage from either label. Loading quantity, lead time and minimum order depend on your size mix.
