Common Questions From OEM Buyers
Can I protect my design?
Ask about an exclusivity agreement for your market. Tooling is usually owned by the buyer, which gives you control over who can use the molds.
Do you keep my artwork files?
Yes. Approved artwork is stored with the project file and reused for reorders. Changes require a new approval cycle.
Can packaging include my own instructions?
Yes. Your user manual and instruction inserts can be printed in your language and format, subject to regulatory review for medical claims.
What minimum volume applies to private label?
Private label typically starts at 1,000 to 5,000 units depending on packaging and branding. Custom tooling designs have higher minimums.
How long does custom branding take?
Silk printing and laser marking add 2 to 3 weeks to the timeline. Full custom packaging design adds another 2 to 4 weeks with artwork approvals.
What does private label include?
Private label covers your brand on the device, cartridges, packaging, and user manual. The factory handles printing, assembly, and quality documentation.
