OEM manufacturing means the factory produces to your design and your brand rather than selling you its own. In sports goods that covers everything from the cover material on a football to the artwork printed across it.
What the buyer controls
Materials, dimensions, weight bands, construction method, colourways, logo placement, labelling and packaging. Anything written into the approved specification is what gets produced.
The stages
Requirement and specification, costing, pre-production sample, written approval, bulk production, pre-dispatch inspection, packing and export documentation. Nothing moves to the next stage until the previous one is signed off.
Where OEM programmes go wrong
Almost always at the specification stage. A vague brief produces a sample that has to be reworked, which costs weeks. Detail at the start is what keeps the schedule.
Divine Cuts runs OEM and custom manufacturing programmes across all its ranges. Send your specification to begin.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between OEM and private label?
OEM usually means the product is built to the buyer's own design or specification. Private label means the buyer's brand is applied to a product the manufacturer already produces. Many programmes use both.
