Private-label and custom manufacturing let importers build a brand instead of reselling commodities. This guide covers OEM/ODM building materials sourcing essentials.
OEM vs ODM
OEM – You provide the design; the factory makes it to spec. ODM – The factory’s existing design, branded as yours. Most door and panel buyers start ODM then move to OEM as volume grows.
What to Define
- Branding – Logo on product, carton, and docs.
- Specs – Material, size, finish, certification.
- Packaging – Export crate, label language, barcode.
MOQ and Lead Time
Typical MOQs: interior door 50–100 units/type; wall panel 500 m²; flexible stone 300 m². Lead time 15–30 days after sample approval.
