Views: 1 Author: MASCOT Publish Time:

What is OEM?

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): YOU provide the design, the factory manufactures it. You handle design, marketing, sales; the factory handles production only.

Best for: established brands with in-house design teams that need strict style copyright control.

What is ODM?

ODM (Original Design Manufacturer): the FACTORY provides designs; you select styles, add your logo, and resell. The factory has an existing style library ready to go.

Best for: new brands, small teams, no design resources—want to list products fast.
