Sam Gao

Sam Gao is the founder of Diningprint, a B2B exporter of custom-printed disposable tableware—wooden chopsticks, cutlery, napkins, and paper packaging—shipping to restaurants, cafés, and food brands across more than 60 countries. Running production in-house, Sam has spent years on the factory floor of the disposable-tableware trade: how seasonal timber drying shapes wood quality, why MOQs and printing methods (hot-stamp vs. offset vs. digital) drive unit cost, and how FSC, FDA, and BSCI compliance actually works in practice. He's glad to give journalists candid, on-the-record insight into China sourcing, sustainable foodservice packaging, and what really happens between a purchase order and a finished, branded product.
