Producing goods with its own brand in China has considerable advantages for the business: in this article we try to understand how to manufacture a product in China, from how to realize a real business starting from the offer of Chinese manufacturers and suppliers.
In fact, Chinese manufacturers can offer you a wide choice of catalog products, that is, factory products that may have been applied to a custom brand. These products, also called ODM, are therefore models on which you can affix your logo, or on which you can request that some small changes be made (change of color, function, or material) to make them even more customized.
Another possible solution is OEM products, which, however, are much more expensive since molds and production must be ad hoc to make these products. The MDGs are a good solution for start-ups and SMEs that have limited budgets and can therefore create customized items starting from the basic ones provided by the manufacturer.
If you have decided to produce customised products at a low cost, then it is good that you focus on ODM products. Here are the main advantages of this type of product:
If ready and finished products do not meet your needs, then you can try OEM products that allow a series of customizations. Remember, however, that in this case the minimum order will be bigger (for low-cost objects around a thousand pieces), the highest costs and the longest times.
OEM products are customizable products made from standard components. Measurements of these customizations vary by product. Let’s give some examples:
If you want a personalized product, you can easily get it, but you must specify in as much detail as possible; otherwise, if there may be some doubt or decisions to be made, the supplier will intervene in your place and you may find yourself having goods that you do not want.
Combining a brand with a good product increases its perceived value: there are millions of small businesses that import to China and successfully resell own-brand products; we are not talking about goods sold at broken prices, but about items that are purchased because of their brand or their packaging. Many consumers are in fact looking for niche products. Having their own trademark is therefore always better than importing and reselling anonymous products. The opportunities for profit are in fact greater.
For many Chinese suppliers, branding products is a routine operation that requires low cost and fast turnaround.
To have customized products, you can:
The supplier has mistaken the color or has misprinted the logo: these are things that unfortunately happen and it is a good damage because it is difficult to return the goods once they arrive in Italy. In addition, at the time it arrives at its destination, it has already been paid. So what can you do to avoid this scenario? The solution is to send the supplier the instructions and specifications as detailed as possible so as to limit its margin of error and also its initiative. You must therefore specify:
Also, do a quality check on the goods directly in China before shipping. Also ask the supplier to send you samples that they have already applied your brand to, and make sure this happens before the sales agreement is signed. If it’s all right, you can start the production. Clarify any misunderstandings at this stage, or you may find yourself with unsaleable merchandise.
