CHINA OEM & ODM PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
OEM and ODM product development in China from brief to pilot production.
Aupeak is a Hangzhou-based China sourcing team coordinating OEM and ODM product development for SMEs, startups and product brands. We turn the product idea into a factory-ready brief, identify a development-capable manufacturer, manage prototypes and sample revisions, clarify tooling and packaging, and freeze an approved production reference before pilot or mass production.

What the buyer receives.
Aupeak coordinates China OEM and ODM product development for SMEs, covering specifications, supplier fit, prototypes, tooling, packaging and pilot production.
Sourcing or standalone scope confirmed before work
Prototype, sample and tooling record
Revision records, supplier feedback, open technical questions, mould milestones and sample approvals coordinated.
Approved production reference
The approved product version, packaging and commercial assumptions are recorded before mass-production approval.
HOW THE WORK RUNS
Four visible stages.
Each project confirms the approval points, external costs and evidence expected before work begins.
- 01
Turn the idea into requirements
Separate must-have functions from preferences and define what each prototype needs to prove.
- 02
Choose a development-capable supplier
Evaluate engineering fit, similar work, communication, tooling ownership and ability to repeat the final design.
- 03
Control revisions
Track photos, measurements, tests, component versions, comments and written supplier responses for each sample.
- 04
Freeze and pilot
Approve the final specification or golden sample, then use pilot production where risk justifies it.
BEST FIT
When this service adds the most value.
- Private-label brands adding custom functions, materials or packaging.
- Products that need prototypes, tooling or several sample revisions.
- Overseas teams that need one local coordinator between design and factory execution.
CLEAR BOUNDARIES
01Tooling, laboratory tests and specialist engineering are quoted separately and approved before spend.
02Regulatory requirements must be confirmed for the exact product and destination market.
03Mass production starts only after the buyer approves the commercial terms and production reference.
SERVICE FAQ
Direct answers for buyers comparing options.
See how Aupeak turns a request into clearer supplier optionsCan Aupeak support both OEM and ODM products?
Yes. The practical scope can include existing-product customisation, packaging, samples, new components, moulds and coordination with suitable manufacturers.
What is the difference between OEM and ODM development?
OEM usually starts from the buyer's design or specification, while ODM adapts a supplier's existing product platform. In practice, many projects combine both approaches, so Aupeak confirms which design, tooling, component and documentation responsibilities belong to each party before development begins.
Who owns the mould or tooling?
Tooling ownership, storage, maintenance, modification and transfer terms should be agreed in writing before payment.
How many sample revisions are included?
The number depends on product complexity and the agreed service scope. Each proposal should state the expected development stages and external sample costs.
Can Aupeak arrange product photography after development?
Selected projects can include photography coordination once a camera-ready production sample and commercial brief are available.
