2024: Jonathan de Jonk Visits the HLK Factory

In July 2025, YouTuber Jonathan de Jonk (Jonno) and his crew took a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Shenzhen to visit the factory that makes “every big-name nasal strips brand.” What they found - and documented in a 20-minute vlog - is exactly what HLK has been delivering to global brand owners for over 20 years: one factory producing the full spectrum of adhesive wellness products.

Nina and George from HLK picked them up at the Shenzhen train station and drove another hour to the production facility. Inside, Jonno filmed the raw material storage (jumbo rolls of medical-grade adhesive), the precision die-cutting machines turning out bone-shape nasal strips and lip-shape mouth tape, the automated packaging lines printing custom-branded pouches, and the QC station where every batch is tested before shipment.

The video, Inside the Factory Making the Worlds Nasal Strips, captured four HLK product lines in a single walkthrough: bone-shape nasal strips for sports performance, lip-shape mouth tape with a central breathing opening, moxibustion patches for pain relief, and the Aerox/Hyrox branded sports nasal strips targeting the fitness market. That is the OEM reality: multiple brands, multiple product categories, one ISO 13485 certified factory.

“Turns out, every big-name nasal strip brand is made in the same place - and now we are working directly with them.” - Jonathan de Jonk, July 2025

Jonno and his crew left with samples, custom-branded packaging concepts, and a dinner invitation from George. His 384-subscriber channel turned that factory visit into a case study for anyone sourcing adhesive wellness products from China: skip the trading companies, go straight to the source.

Jonno’s visit is the shortest path to understanding HLK’s OEM model: one ISO 13485-certified factory, multiple brands, multiple product categories - nasal strips, mouth tape, sleep patches, and sports tape all on a single production floor. Brands that want to see the source before they commit can book a factory visit the same way Jonno did.
