OEM/ODM Process – From Brief to Production
Microneedling Pen OEM Process and Timeline
A TBPHP OEM/ODM project moves through requirements, samples, production tooling, pilot production, mass production, and logistics. Sample development typically takes 15-25 working days, tooling 20-30 working days, and mass production typically 30-45 days after sample and tooling approval.
- Sample: 15-25 working days
- Tooling: 20-30 working days
- Mass production: 30-45 days after approval
- Mass production: 30-45 days after approval
How We Work With OEM Partners
Our OEM process is designed for professional aesthetic-device distributors, aesthetic clinic chains, and skincare brands that need reliable microneedling cartridges under their own brand.
Step 1: Requirements Brief
You provide: target needle geometry, needle count, array layout, hub design preferences, packaging requirements, and estimated annual volume. We provide: feasibility assessment, tooling cost estimate, and development timeline.
Step 2: Samples and Validation
We produce first-article samples from prototype tooling. Samples are shipped with dimensional measurement reports, needle tip SEM micrographs, and insertion force test data. Typical sample cycle: 15-25 working days.
Step 3: Production Tooling
Upon sample approval, production molds and fixtures are manufactured. Tooling lead time: 20-30 working days. Tooling is owned by the OEM partner after payment.
Step 4: Pilot Production
A pilot run of 1,000-5,000 units validates the production process. All 47 QC checkpoints are documented. The pilot batch goes through full sterilization validation.
Step 5: Mass Production
Production runs at 50,000-200,000 units per batch depending on the model. SPC data is collected and shared. Each batch includes a certificate of analysis and certificate of sterility.
Step 6: Logistics
Shipment via air or sea freight. Full customs documentation package including commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, sterilization certificate, and customs clearance support.
Typical Timeline
- Samples: 3-4 weeks
- Tooling: 4-6 weeks
- Pilot: 2-3 weeks
- First mass production: 4-6 weeks after pilot approval
- Total: 30-45 days after sample and tooling approval
