DIRECT ANSWER

When should a plush project use OEM or ODM support?

A project with complete artwork and specifications is closer to OEM, with the factory sampling and producing to approved information. A concept or reference needs more ODM input on structure, materials and craft. Many projects combine both and use the approved sample and production file as the final reference.

PROJECT REVIEW

Reliable OEM and ODM projects use visible checkpoints

Clear scope, responsibility and approval criteria help control revisions, cost and timing.

01

Specification

Define size, materials, craft, accessories, packing, quantity and destination market.

02

Sample benchmark

Use the final approved sample to lock appearance, hand feel and assembly.

03

Material control

Review fabrics, color references and packing before production and flag schedule risks.

04

Quality checkpoints

Set incoming, in-process, finished-product, needle and packing checks for the project.

MOQ EXPLAINED

Why is the typical MOQ 500–1,000 pieces?

It is not a fixed threshold for every product. It is the typical range at which most custom projects can reasonably absorb their setup costs.

MOQ follows the product plan, not the total quantity alone.

Fabric and trim sourcing, pattern making, embroidery programming, cutting and line setup, packing preparation and quality checks all create work before bulk production begins. Exact MOQ depends on size, materials, craft, style count, quantity per style, packing and order terms.

01

Size and construction

Dimensions, panel count and 3D structures affect material use and production time.

02

Fabric and trims

Special colors, pile lengths, filling and accessories may each have sourcing minimums.

03

Style allocation

At the same total volume, many small runs require more setup than one concentrated style.

04

Craft and packing

Embroidery, print, outfits, hang cards and boxes add separate preparation steps.

You can still send a project below the typical range. We can assess whether fewer styles, shared materials, a size adjustment or simpler packing could improve feasibility, without promising a lower MOQ before review.

SAMPLING TERMS

When does sampling start, and how are fees and revisions approved?

Before sampling, we align the artwork version, dimensions, material direction, key craft, color reference, accessories, packing goal and the person responsible for feedback.

Starting pointAfter key information is clear

A typical first sample takes about seven days. Complex construction, special materials or parallel styles are assessed separately.

Sample feeFrom RMB 500

The actual fee reflects size, construction, fabric, embroidery, accessories and sample quantity. Sample freight is confirmed separately.

Revision policyUp to three free revisions

Further revisions are RMB 100 each unless the written quotation states otherwise.

Order creditPart may be credited after ordering

The amount or percentage must be stated in writing.

  1. 01

    Lock the version

    Confirm artwork, size, materials, colors, craft and protected features.

  2. 02

    Sample and review

    Record each version, date, photos or video, consolidated feedback and next action.

  3. 03

    Approve in writing

    Bulk-production preparation starts only after written approval of the final sample.

EXPORT & CONFIDENTIALITY

How are testing needs handled for the U.S., Japan and South Korea?

Before quotation, specify the destination, intended age, use, material construction, accessories, labels, packing and buyer requirements. Applicable standards, laboratory, test samples, cost and timing are confirmed in writing for each project.

United States

Projects commonly review ASTM F963, 16 CFR Part 1250 and applicable lead, phthalate, small-parts and tracking-label rules. Applicable products for children 12 and under generally involve testing by a CPSC-accepted laboratory and a CPC.

Japan

First determine whether the product is a designated toy under the Food Sanitation Act and review relevant material requirements. Buyer- or channel-requested ST Standard or ST Mark needs are confirmed separately.

South Korea

Projects commonly review the Special Act on the Safety of Children's Products, the Common Safety Standard for Children's Products and the Toy Safety Standard to determine testing and Safety Confirmation needs.

Requirements can change with product construction, age grading and sales channel. The importer, brand owner and appropriately qualified third party should confirm the final clauses, certificate holder and compliance responsibility.

HOW IT WORKS

Eight checkpoints in an OEM or ODM project

Timing depends on construction, material supply, revision rounds, quantity, packing and inspection requirements.

  1. 01

    Project review

    Confirm product, quantity, market, budget and timing goals.

  2. 02

    Cost breakdown

    Build the quote around materials, craft, labor and packing.

  3. 03

    Sample development

    Complete pattern, embroidery, sewing, filling and shaping.

  4. 04

    Revision approval

    Record feedback and update the sample and requirements.

  5. 05

    Pre-production

    Lock the sample, materials, packing and inspection standard.

  6. 06

    Bulk production

    Coordinate cutting, embroidery, sewing and finishing.

  7. 07

    Quality checks

    Conduct process, finished-product, needle and packing checks.

  8. 08

    Packing and delivery

    Verify quantities and shipping information before dispatch.

PROJECT BRIEF

Project-start information for sourcing teams

Testing, labelling or packing requirements for the destination market should be disclosed before quotation so materials and timing can be evaluated.

The final sample, materials, colors, dimensions, embroidery or print, accessories, packing and inspection requirements.

04Can testing be arranged for international markets?

Material and third-party testing needs can be discussed. Standards, laboratory, cost and timing are confirmed for the product and destination market.
