OEM FAQ
Answers before development begins.
What is the difference between OEM and ODM for squishy toys?+
An OEM project typically begins with buyer-provided artwork or specifications, while an ODM discussion may begin with a broader product direction that is developed into a buyer-specific item. The practical scope should be defined in the quotation.
Can development begin from a reference image?+
A clear reference can begin feasibility review, but original artwork, dimensions, essential features and intellectual-property authorization may be required before the design is finalized.
When is a custom mold required?+
A new three-dimensional shape commonly requires a product-specific mold or tooling route. Existing shapes with only packaging or artwork changes may follow a different plan.
Who approves the mass-production reference?+
The buyer should approve the current physical sample and connected written specification, artwork and packaging files before production begins.
Can testing be included in an OEM project?+
Testing can be planned for the exact product, materials, intended age grade and destination market. Existing reports should not be assumed to cover a new design.
