Questions about product development & oem/odm support

What is the difference between OEM and ODM sourcing?

OEM generally starts with your design or specification; ODM generally adapts a manufacturer’s existing design. Factories use these terms differently, so confirm the actual customization scope, tooling, and design arrangements before approving development.

Can I approve a sample before mass production?

Yes. Sampling and revisions help establish the approved product standard. Confirm sample charges, tooling needs, MOQ, and production lead time with the factory; keep materials, dimensions, branding, and packaging approvals documented.
