OP, I specialize in sourcing from China for us clients. Do not send your product details or drawings to a manufacturer you meet on alibaba because they're are no factories on alibaba. They are all marketing companies aka trading companies, as such they have the skills to market and sell any product they see fit. Instead, you want to deal directly with a factory. Factories don't market and sell, they manufacture and the only thing they care about is keeping they're production line busy 24-7. Please please please do not send your proprietary designs to anyone on alibaba. Find a friend from China who knows factories for your product. You can dm me as well if that route doesn't work. Good luck and remember, there are no actual factories on alibaba and they will steal your product if its successful.
