Ever had the hassle of lugging around a bulky table or struggling to store one when it’s not in use? That’s exactly the challenge Zelco, a leading outdoor retailer in Israel, faced when sourcing foldable camping tables for its market. They wanted tables that were strong, compact, easy to carry, and versatile, and they needed a partner who could deliver them without delays or compromise on quality.
Project Background
- Client: Zelco
- Country: Israel
- Product: Foldable camping tables (MDF + aluminum)
- Timeline: Initial inquiry to shipment: 6 weeks
- Scope: Full manufacturing, sourcing, packaging customization, and logistics
Zelco was seeking a reliable folding table supplier that could handle high-quality materials, offer flexible packaging solutions, and ensure timely delivery. They required tables that could survive heavy use while remaining easy to store and transport, the perfect combination of durability and portability.

- Wide range of uses: Ideal for outdoor picnics, camping, barbecues, family gatherings, night market stalls, self-driving trips, and study desks.
The Challenge
Most folding tables on the market are either flimsy, difficult to assemble, or bulky to store. Zelco needed a solution that ticked all the boxes:
- Adjustable height for multiple use cases
- Easy-to-fold design for transport
- Strong enough to hold heavy loads (up to 80 kg)
- Resistant to mildew, rust, water, and heat
- Packaging adaptable to customer preference
Any delays or quality issues could affect Zelco’s seasonal sales window, impacting revenue and brand trust.
What Almost Failed
During initial production, tables were packaged in pairs, which was standard. However, when Zelco requested single-table packaging after production, we encountered a packaging challenge: the original cartons didn’t meet the new requirements.
Rather than delay the shipment, our team designed custom cartons, repackaged the tables, and kept the delivery on track, a true test of flexibility and problem-solving.
