OEM / ODM PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Two paths from brief
to production.

Bring an existing design or a market opportunity. We connect the right development path to an approved production standard.

  • New concepts
  • Existing designs
  • Approved production sample

OEM FROM YOUR SPECIFICATION

Your design.
Built to an agreed standard.

We review the supplied specification, reference sample, materials, packing and approval requirements before sampling for production.

ODM FROM A MARKET BRIEF

Your opportunity.
Developed into a product direction.

We translate the audience, target price, launch timing and creative direction into materials, construction and a first-sample plan.

Four decisions before production.

The brief sets the direction. Engineering, sampling, fit and approval close the decisions needed for bulk production.

Final sample, packing direction and approved production standard

Working within the approval process.

As a qualified supplier for approved licensed-character programs, PartyTime works to the reference and production standard approved through the customer's or rights holder's authorization process. PartyTime does not own or grant the underlying brand licenses.

BUYER-APPOINTED TESTING & INSPECTION

Report-controlled shipment.

For major-customer programs, the buyer appoints Intertek (ITS) for required physical and chemical testing, together with mid-production and final inspection. Final inspection proceeds only after the required test report has passed. PartyTime releases the order for shipment only after the final inspection report has passed.
