Feasibility
You send a reference, market, quantity, pack idea and logo files if you have them. You get which route applies: color, logo, box language, or extra review.
OEM and private label
From a product on the wall to a locked private-label spec
Usually available: color change, logo, color-box language and carton marks. New molds, electronics and licensed characters need a separate review. The quote states the route for the selected SKU.
How OEM and private label actually run
We start from a product you can hold or photograph, not from a slogan. Color, logo and packing are confirmed on that SKU. If a change needs a new mold, electronics work or a licensed character, it is flagged before you spend sample money.
The first reply names the route: ready product with a color change, logo on an existing tool, a private-label color box, or a longer development path. Repeat orders use the locked specification, not a new conversation from zero.
OEM service path
Each step has an input and an output. Artwork is not started until the product and pack format are agreed.
3–20 working days
Sample
Stock sample 3–7 days. Color or packaging sample 7–12. New development 12–20. You receive a physical sample and a written change list.
After sample approval
Artwork lock
Vector or PDF logo, warnings, barcode and language go on the box and carton marks. Production does not start on an open artwork file.
15–40 days
Bulk production
Ready path typically 15–30 days after approval. Custom path 25–40 days. Incoming, in-line and pre-shipment checks follow the locked spec.
Faster than round one
Repeat order
Same specification, next quantity. Color, logo method and box language stay on file so the second season does not restart sampling.
What we usually customize
The quote states which of these apply to the selected SKU. Typical working ranges are a starting point, confirmed per project.
Color change
Typically 500–1,000 pcs per color, after sample approval.
Logo application
Pad print, sticker, hangtag or woven label, confirmed against the product surface.
Color box and language
Typically from 1,000 pcs per color, including warnings and barcode.
Carton marks
Shipping marks, item codes and packing data for the destination.
Accessory combination
Fewer or extra parts when the mold and case pack allow it.
Pack format
Window box, color box, blister or display box, discussed against cost and shelf need.
What needs extra review
These are not refused by default. They are not promised in the first reply either.
New mold
Tooling, sample rounds and a longer development calendar.
Electronics
Lights, sound, radio or battery changes need a separate feasibility check.
Licensed characters
Only with the buyer’s IP authorization on file.
Lower age grade
Construction, small parts and testing must support the claim.
Development timing
Ranges are a starting point. The quotation states the applicable SKU conditions.
| Step | Typical timing | Buyer delivers |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility and quote | 1 business day after a complete brief | Reference, market, quantity, pack, logo files |
| Stock sample | 3–7 working days | SKU and delivery country |
| Color or packaging sample | 7–12 working days | Pantone / artwork / language |
| New development sample | 12–20 working days | Sketch, photo or physical reference |
| Bulk after approval | 15–30 days ready; 25–40 days custom | Signed specification |
Minimum OEM brief
A complete brief gets a first reply in one business day. Missing files delay artwork, not the first range discussion.
- Product reference, photo or SKU
- Target age and play setting
- Quantity and target cost
- Logo files, preferably vector or PDF artwork
- Packaging format, target market, required documents and launch window
Questions buyers ask before they enquire
Do I need a finished logo to get a quote?
No. A sketch or reference is enough for the first range and cost direction. Vector files are needed before packaging artwork.
Can every outdoor toy take a logo?
No. Some surfaces, fabrics and safety parts are not printable. We confirm the method on the selected SKU.
Are water toys sold as flotation products?
No. Water-play products are not life-saving equipment.
