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 should be planned as the sum of sample, tooling, and mass production stages; mass production is typically 30-45 days after approvals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What quality documents come with each shipment?
You should receive the certificate of conformance, batch records, sterilization certificate, and inspection report for each lot.
What if the product does not match the agreed specification?
The contract should state the tolerance range and rejection criteria. Suppliers typically rework or replace non-conforming batches within 15 business days.
Should I do a pre-shipment inspection?
Yes. A third-party inspection before shipment catches labeling, packaging, and cosmetic defects that are expensive to fix after arrival.
What should I review during a factory audit?
Look at the production line, incoming material inspection, the quality lab, and batch records. Ask how defects are logged and what the corrective action process looks like.
How long does production take after sample approval?
Standard production runs 3 to 5 weeks after sample sign-off. Larger volumes or custom sterilization cycles may add 1 to 2 weeks.
How are defects handled after shipment?
Agree on an AQL sampling standard in the contract. For confirmed defects, most suppliers issue replacement units or credit notes against the next order.
