Syep 6: Confirm capacity – Sampling 7–14 days, bulk production 15–40 days

What is the difference between ODM and OEM?
1.OEM – You provide your own formula and packaging. The factory is responsible only for production. Best for established brands.
OEM Workflow: Provide your formula → Factory tests stability → Approve samples (IP remains yours) → Production
2.ODM – The factory provides existing formulas and packaging. You select your preferred options and add your logo. Best for beginners.
ODM Workflow: Share brand story → Factory selects scents → Micro-adjustments → Contract signed → Production
