Make Aqua Shoes, PVC and Backpacks in Vietnam by Chris Walker


Dear Reader,

Question: Why was the plastic printer so confident? Because it always delivered glossy results without cracking under pressure! 😅 Did you know that the VietnamPrintPack 2025 expo is happening right now in Ho Chi Minh City? I will go this Sat to scout out printing companies. I have gotten a lot of inquiries for book printing but heard the laws are quite strict in Vietnam. If you are in need of printing and packaging services in Vietnam, I can help you.

Searching for a Vietnamese PVC factory?

I am on a mission to find a PVC supplier in Vietnam but have been striking out. Here are the companies I have already contacted but none of them can meet my client's specific requirements.

Vietnamese PVC factory friends: I need rigid-PVC-film (Hard PVC) that is plasticizer-free and produced by calendaring method. Please contact me if you can meet these criteria.

Overseas buyers: if you need help contacting the factories below to get quotes for PVC products then let's connect.

Personal Note - Dealing with Passing of a Loved One

I have been offline lately reflecting on life since my mother passed away. She lived to 85 which is reason to celebrate. Sadly we had a bit of a riff over the last year because she followed all the doctors orders taking a multitude of pills and agreeing to chemo therapy. In the end her body was too weak to handle the stress of chemo. I tried my best to introduce her to exercise, fresh air, healthy eating habits, fasting and comedy but she chose her own path. If you have a loved one who is battling cancer then I highly recommend you watch this video about fasting. If they are willing to try something new and alternative they might just add on a few more years.
