| Level | What changes | Timing guide |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Branding | Logo (print, laser, molded-in on new tools), packaging, inserts | About 30 days of production on an existing mold |
| 2. Appearance on existing mold | Molded-in color, tinted PC handle, plating or paint, face plate and button colors, cartridge media | Masterbatch and media change; production about 30 days |
| 3. Structural modification | Selector type, stop button, cartridge chamber, nozzle plate, inlet thread | Structure design about 15 days plus partial tooling; quoted per project |
| 4. New design (ODM) | New appearance and internal structure from your reference | Appearance about 15 days, structure about 15 days, mold about 60 days, production about 30 days |
| Inputs the factory works from | Drawings, 3D files, competitor photos, physical samples, or a written brief | Photo matching against 115 models is the usual first step |
| In-house engineering | Water path, mode-switching mechanism, seal and O-ring layout, assembly structure, residual-water drainage | Designed at the factory |
| MOQ | From about 2,000 units for many projects; new-mold projects quoted with tooling |
Start with what already exists
The fastest custom shower head is an existing mold with your changes. ZHONGHE keeps 115 molds across 10 categories, and its model pages describe each photo in detail so a buyer's reference picture can be matched to the nearest existing shape. From there, color, tint, plating, cartridge media, face plate color and button color are changed without tooling, and the logo goes on by pad or silk printing, laser marking or printed packaging. Production runs about 30 days after approval as a guide.
Structural changes on an existing design, such as swapping a rotating selector for a push button, adding a stop valve, or changing the inlet thread, are engineered in-house and quoted with any partial tooling.
When a new mold is the right answer
A new design is justified when the buyer needs a shape the market has not seen or a structure no existing mold offers. The factory develops it in stages: appearance design about 15 days, internal structure design about 15 days (water path, switching mechanism, seals, assembly, drainage), 3D-printed samples, mold making about 60 days, pilot samples, then mass production about 30 days. All are working guides that vary with complexity; a new mold is a fixed cost spread across the units produced, so higher volumes carry less mold cost per unit.
What to send for a custom quotation
A reference (drawing, 3D file, photo or sample), the changes you need, target market and thread standard, quantity, finish and colors, cartridge media if any, packaging and target price band. The factory replies with the level of customization required, the closest existing model where relevant, and a quotation with timing.
