What does the OEM / ODM service include?
Depending on scope, support can include product-definition workshops, standard or custom formulation, eye-patch geometry, samples, packaging coordination, specification alignment, quality planning and commercial production preparation.
OEM versus ODM
| Route | Best for | Typical customization |
|---|---|---|
| Private label / OEM | Faster programs using a qualified starting platform | Brand, pack count, pouch, carton and selected formula or geometry options |
| Custom ODM | Brands that need a differentiated formula, contour or technical story | Formula, matrix, active system, array, patch shape, backing, packaging and evidence plan |
Development stages
- Non-confidential brief: target market, channel, price position, customer, claims, actives, patch format, quantity and timing.
- Feasibility: evaluate category, ingredient compatibility, array and backing options, packaging constraints and development risks.
- Samples: define what each sample round should answer and record decisions against acceptance criteria.
- Pilot and specification: confirm repeatability, finished-pack configuration, tests, artwork and change control.
- Production planning: align MOQ, material lead times, quality release, shipment and reorder assumptions.
