Overview
OEM means we manufacture exactly to your specification; ODM means we develop the structure with you from a product, a mood board or a target price. Most projects sit somewhere between the two, and our engineers are comfortable starting from either end.
Buyers in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil rely on this because it removes ambiguity at the quotation stage.
The OEM Route
You supply dimensioned drawings, artwork files and a target finish; we preflight the artwork, draft the dieline and return a printable proof. Production follows only after you have approved a physical sample, which becomes the reference for every subsequent lot.
- Artwork preflight and dieline drafting
- Signed colour proof under D50 lighting
- Physical pre-production sample
- Archived specification for reorders
Ask for the supporting document pack if your compliance team needs to review it.
The ODM Route
You supply the product, the brand positioning and the retail channel; we propose a structure, board grade, insert and finish within your cost envelope. Concept drawings and a white mock-up are produced before any plate or tooling cost is committed.
- Structural concepts with cost implications
- White mock-ups for fit testing
- Material and finish recommendations
- Value engineering before tooling
The same standard applies to a first pilot run and to a full seasonal programme.
Confidentiality and Tooling
Your artwork, dielines and plates are stored under your account and are never reused for another customer. Where a custom mould or magnetic assembly is required, ownership and storage terms are stated in the quotation.
- Account-segregated artwork storage
- NDA available on request
- Tooling ownership stated in writing
- No artwork reuse across customers
Our export desk can expand any point here into a written specification for your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you work from our artwork?
- Yes. Vector AI, PDF or EPS with fonts outlined is ideal; we preflight every file and return a proof.
- Can you design the box for us?
- Yes. ODM projects start with product dimensions and target price, and include a white mock-up before tooling.
- Who owns the dieline?
- The dieline and plates created for your project are held for your account and not used for other customers.
