Quick Answer

Before ordering, ask the supplier five things: the real MOQ per SKU, whether OEM (your brand on their product) or ODM (their design, your brand) applies, sample cost and timing, bulk price breaks, and what branding options exist on the tool itself and its packaging.

Know the Terms

• MOQ: minimum order quantity per product or per colour/branding option
• OEM: you brand the supplier's existing product
• ODM: supplier designs or modifies the product to your spec

Questions to Ask

• What is the MOQ per SKU, and does branding change it?
• Can you print my logo on segments, plates and boxes?
• What is the sample cost, and is it refundable against a bulk order?
• What are the price breaks at 100, 500 and 1000 pieces?
• Can you adjust bond hardness or grit for my market?
• What is the lead time for samples and for bulk?

OEM Pitfalls

Branding without quality control is just a sticker. Ask which factory does the bonding and QC, and request photos of your branded batch before shipping. Confirm the logo application method - printed, laser or moulded - because it affects minimums and lead time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I start with samples only?

A>Yes, most factories sell samples, but the per-piece price is higher and shipping may be disproportionate.

Q: Is my MOQ negotiable?

A>Sometimes for a first order or for mixed SKUs in one container; ask for a mixed-container arrangement.

Q: Do I need my own brand to buy from China?

A>No, many buyers start with neutral or supplier-branded tools and add branding later.
