We build your product, not someone else’s with your logo on it
OEM and ODM differ in how deep you go: you can put a logo on an existing model, or change materials, dimensions, packaging and contents. We take the idea to a sample you would be happy to show a buyer.
- Sample before the run
- OEM and ODM
- Cost broken down by stage
- Sample in 2–4 weeks
Who it suits
- You have a product idea but no maker and no sense of the price.
- You resell someone else’s goods and want your own brand.
- You need marketplace-ready packaging that meets labelling rules.
- An existing product almost fits, but the material or size needs changing.
What you get
An approved reference sample the production run is measured against.
A specification: materials, dimensions, colours, packaging, labelling.
A cost breakdown — what the product costs, what the packaging costs, what the customisation costs.
A clear idea of the volume at which customisation pays for itself.
How the work goes
- 1BriefWe unpack the idea: what changes, for which buyer, within what budget.
- 2MatchingWe look for a plant that can actually do this particular customisation.
- 3SampleWe make and revise the sample until it is the reference.
- 4CostingWe cost the run and lock down the specification.
- 5LaunchWe hand the reference to production and take the run under supervision.
A cosmetics line from scratch
- The task
- The client needed bottles, printing and assembly under their own brand.
- The outcome
- We assembled the product from three plants: bottle, pump and carton. Four sample iterations to reach the reference.

Frequent questions
OEM means production to your documentation: the design is yours, the factory executes it. ODM means the factory supplies an existing design and you change the finish, packaging and logo. ODM is cheaper and faster; OEM gives you a product nobody else has.
Usually far more than a unit from the run — the factory makes it one at a time. Many makers credit the cost back when you order the run; we raise this in the negotiation.
That is a contract question, and it has to be settled before the documentation is handed over, not after. We write rights to moulds and tooling into the specification.
It depends on the customisation. A logo on an existing model pays back almost immediately; a new mould only at serious volumes. We work out that threshold before you commit money.
