OEM Wooden Toys

OEM wooden toys: your design, our production line

OEM means the product is yours and the manufacturing is ours. You bring the design, the specification or the reference sample; we engineer it for production, make pre-production samples, and manufacture the volume order to the approved sample.

Most of our OEM work comes from three situations: an importer who wants a product the catalogue does not cover, a brand that wants its own version of a proven item, and a retailer who needs a specific size, colour or piece count to hit a price point or a shelf plan.

What can be customised

• The product itself. New items, or a modified version of an existing item — size, piece count, construction, hardware.
• Material and finish. Wood species, thickness, natural or painted finish, colour matching to a Pantone reference.
• Branding on the product. Logo printing, laser engraving or printed parts.
• Packaging. Colour box, display box, hang tag, barcode and carton marks — the same scope as our private label service.
• Documentation. Instruction sheets, assembly guides and the labelling your market requires.

How the OEM process runs

1. Brief and feasibility. Send a drawing, a photo, a sample or a written specification with target quantity and market. We come back with a costed proposal, including which parts are straightforward and which are not.
2. Quotation and MOQ. Price and minimum order quantity are confirmed together, because a heavily customised item and a colour change on a catalogue item sit at very different minimums. Tell us your target volume and we will confirm the workable minimum for that item.
3. Pre-production sample. We make a sample of the actual product — material, colour, packaging — for your approval.
4. Approval and production. Production starts against the approved sample. A typical cycle is around 30 days after order confirmation, subject to complexity, material and quantity.
5. Final check and shipment. Goods are inspected against the approved sample, packed, and shipped with the documents your market needs.

Design protection

Your drawings and your product designs are used to produce your order. We do not put a customer's design into our catalogue or offer it to another buyer. If your company requires a non-disclosure agreement before sharing drawings, send yours and we will review it.

What we need to start

A reference (drawing, photo, sample or existing product), the target quantity, the destination market, and the certification you need to demonstrate. For the development of a brand-new item, a sketch with dimensions and a photo of the look you are aiming for is usually enough for a first quotation.
