Short answer: We match overseas buyers with verified Chinese manufacturers for custom-made products. Send the product, quantity, target price and destination market; we shortlist two or three factories, confirm MOQ and lead time, then manage sampling and inspection. When customisation would not pay for itself, we also source ready-to-ship stock goods.
Custom work is our main path, but it is not always the right answer. A new mould only makes sense when the shape or function genuinely does not exist. Most branding requirements — a logo, a colour, a printed carton — can be met on an existing product platform with a lower minimum and a shorter lead time. For a first order into a new market, stock goods can be the smarter starting point. We will tell you when customisation is not worth paying for.
OEM / ODM Development
OEM and ODM projects in China start with an honest answer to one question: does this product need new tooling, or can an existing platform be adapted? We work that out with the factory before you pay for anything.
1. Define the Spec
We start by learning your business – its ambitions & challenges.
2. Tooling & Prototype
The factory confirms what needs new tooling and what can be adapted from an existing line.
3. Approve the Sample
You approve a physical sample before production is scheduled.
- We check equipment, in-house processes and capacity before we compare quotes. A low price from a factory that outsources everything is not a low price.
- Pre-production samples are measured, photographed and checked against the agreed spec. You approve them before the batch is scheduled.
- You receive a written specification, sample photos and the inspection report — in English, in a format your team can forward.
Private Label & Packaging
Private label is the fastest route to a custom product: an existing, proven item with your logo, colours and packaging. No new mould, lower minimums, shorter lead times.
1. Choose the Base Product
We shortlist stock products that fit your market, price point and quantity.
2. Apply Your Identity
Logo, colour, print method and artwork placement are agreed with the factory.
3. Packaging & Approval
- Most buyers do not need a new tool. We use existing product platforms where possible, which keeps MOQ low and avoids tooling cost.
- Printing and packaging minimums vary by factory. We confirm them in writing before you place an order, and we tell you when a custom carton is not worth it.
- The same approved artwork and specification are used on every reorder, so the second shipment looks like the first.
Supplier Matching
A product brief rarely maps to one obvious factory. We translate it into capability requirements — equipment, materials, certifications, capacity, export history — and shortlist the plants that genuinely fit.
1. Understand the Requirement
We translate your brief into the capability, certification and capacity a factory must have.
2. Shortlist & Verify
We compare candidates, check licences and confirm who actually makes the product.
3. Quote & Introduce
You get a short list with the reasoning, MOQ and lead time for each option.
- We confirm whether a supplier is a factory or a trading company, and we say so. It changes the price, the MOQ and who is accountable when something goes wrong.
- A factory that makes lighting well may be wrong for hardware. We match on the actual process your product needs.
- The same team handles the introduction, the sample rounds and the order. You are not handed to a different contact at each stage.
Sampling & Quality Control
A sample is the cheapest place to find a problem. We make sure the standard is written down, the sample is checked against it, and nothing is produced until you approve.
1. Agree the Standard
We write down the spec, the acceptance criteria and who signs off.
2. Sample & Inspect
Pre-production samples are checked against the spec, with photos and a written report.
3. Inspect Before Shipment
The finished batch is inspected before it leaves China.
- Dimensions, materials and finish are checked against the signed-off sample, not against a description.
- Logo placement, colour, print quality, barcode and retail packaging are verified on the sample and again on the batch.
- Function, basic safety and compliance documents are reviewed before shipment, and the report is shared with you in English.
What we need from you
- The product, with photos or drawings
- Target quantity and target landed price
- Destination market and the certifications it requires
- Any packaging, branding or specification requirements
With that, we translate the brief into capability requirements — equipment, materials, in-house processes, capacity and export history — and shortlist the plants that fit. See the supplier directory.
What we check before recommending a factory
- Business licence, business scope and export record
- Whether it is a factory or a trading company, and which steps are in-house
- Certificates verified against the issuing body and the models covered
- Real MOQ, sampling terms and lead time, in writing
