From existing model to new development
OEM/ODM Shower Head Manufacturing
Use existing models for faster sourcing or develop new shower head structures and appearances when your market needs a differentiated product.
| Route | What it means | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| OEM existing model | Use an existing product structure with buyer branding, packaging, and finish requirements. | Faster launch, lower development uncertainty |
| ODM modified model | Adjust appearance, internal structure, or user-facing details from an agreed direction. | More differentiation while controlling risk |
| New mold project | Develop appearance, structure, 3D sample, mold, pilot sample, and mass production route. | Best for distinctive product programs |
Minimum order quantity
MOQ ranges from 500 to 2,000 units
There is no single MOQ. Which tier applies depends on how much of the product stays standard: an existing catalog model in a finish already running needs no setup, while custom packaging brings the packaging printer's own minimum.
| Tier | Typical MOQ | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Catalog model, standard finish, standard packaging | From about 500 units | No tooling, no print setup, no new media blend |
| Logo print or color change | From about 1,000 units | Pad or screen print, laser marking, or a masterbatch color matched to a Pantone reference |
| Custom packaging, custom colors, new cartridge configuration | From about 2,000 units | Printed color box, brand artwork, inserts and outer cartons, or a brand-specific media blend |
| New mold or new appearance | Quoted with tooling | Appearance design about 15 days, structure design about 15 days, mold about 60 days as guides |
Per model and finish in practice, because each is a separate production run: splitting one order across several colors or models raises the effective minimum.
Process
Development and production flow
The route can be simplified for existing model orders or expanded for full ODM projects.
-
01
Model selection or brief review
Share target market, product type, estimated quantity, package plan, and any benchmark product.
-
02
Sample and specification discussion
Confirm available models, materials, finish direction, flow expectations, and packaging requirements.
-
03
OEM/ODM development
Use existing models for faster projects or develop appearance, internal structure, 3D samples, and molds for ODM.
-
04
Pilot confirmation
Check samples, assembly details, water test results, packaging, labels, and shipment plan before mass production.
-
05
Mass production and inspection
Run injection, finishing, assembly, water testing, leakage checks, flow checks where needed, and final packing.
RFQ
Information buyers should prepare
Specific RFQ inputs reduce back-and-forth and make it easier to confirm if existing tooling can be used.
Commercial notes
- MOQ ranges from 500 to 2,000 units depending on the model, finish and packaging: existing catalog models in a standard finish and standard packaging can start from about 500 units; a logo print or a color change typically from about 1,000 units; custom packaging, custom colors or new cartridge configurations from about 2,000 units.
- Custom packaging can often be discussed from about 2,000 units, the top of the MOQ range, depending on the packaging type and order structure.
- Appearance design may take about 15 days, internal structure design about 15 days, and mold making about 60 days. Actual timing depends on project complexity.
