Help to locate a specific product?

Mods please move if this is the wrong forum.

I was buying specific picture frames locally at discount for buying in bulk.
(50-100 at a time)
I was obviously paying alot more than they cost in the far east, but it suited me short term as I am trying to establish a new business and am not yet ready to purchase a thousand+ in one go.

My last order couldnt be fully completed and the shop in question said that their supplier had run out of, and wasn't getting any more of this particular frame (apparently his supplier in China had increased the price and he wasnt getting any more from them)
I contacted the supplier who said there was a price issue with my supplier and he was not importing any more of this particular frame.END OF.

I am trying to locate this frame myself as it obviously exists somewhere in China(?) and can probably be bought in large quantities for less than a euro a piece.Or maybe there is a similar one nearer to home and less risky for me to purchase in large quantities.

I have found a company who can set up manufacturing in China for my exact product but again this service is well out of my price range at my particular stage of set-up (still researching the market).

Basically I need a 10"x12" white pvc/plastic? picture frame with an 8"x10" mount,Glass front and comes in a cardboard box.

Interested to hear from anyone who might be able to source or make these frames or who knows where I can get something very similar at a good price.

Perhaps I could piggyback a pallet or 2 if they can be located, with someone who is already set up importing containers from far east, and will not fleece me or rip me off.
I have trawled through alibaba etc but have not yet located them.

Any help or advice appreciated. Thanks
