Use existing models for faster sourcing or develop new shower head structures and appearances when your market needs a differentiated product.

## How an OEM/ODM shower head project starts

A shower head OEM/ODM project usually starts with the product category, target market, quantity, packaging requirements, and benchmark references. ZHONGHE then reviews whether an existing model, modified model, or new development route is practical.

## Routes

| 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 |

## Development and production flow

| Stage | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| 1. Model selection or brief review | Share target market, product type, estimated quantity, package plan, and any benchmark product. |
| 2. Sample and specification discussion | Confirm available models, materials, finish direction, flow expectations, and packaging requirements. |
| 3. OEM/ODM development | Use existing models for faster projects or develop appearance, internal structure, 3D samples, and molds for ODM. |
| 4. Pilot confirmation | Check samples, assembly details, water test results, packaging, labels, and shipment plan before mass production. |
| 5. Mass production and inspection | Run injection, finishing, assembly, water testing, leakage checks, flow checks where needed, and final packing. |
