Common buyer questions
What is the OEM/ODM MOQ?
Sample orders are supported. OEM/ODM MOQ varies by product configuration, packaging, and project scope.
Are samples available before a production order?
Yes. Sample development is the first practical step before tooling or mass production.
How long does a full custom project take?
A full custom project is typically 13-19 weeks, depending on specification, tooling, approvals, and production scheduling.
