OEM and custom chairs

Logo, frame colour, upholstery, carton artwork — what we can change, what it costs in minimums, and who owns the tooling.

What we do not do. We will not copy another brand's moulded shell or a patented mechanism. If your design depends on a shell or mechanism that belongs to someone else, we will tell you at the quoting stage rather than after you have paid a deposit.

How an OEM order runs

  1. Specification — model, quantity, colour reference, logo artwork, carton artwork, destination port.
  2. Quotation — unit price EXW Foshan, option costs shown as separate lines so you can see what each item adds.
  3. Sample — 7 to 15 days. We photograph the actual coated frame or cut fabric and send it for approval before production starts.
  4. Order confirmation — quantity, price, lead time, packing spec and tooling ownership written down. 30% deposit.
  5. Production — about 30 days for standard models, plus 5 to 7 days for custom colour.
  6. Inspection and loading — your inspector or ours; cartons counted against the packing list before the container is sealed.
  7. Balance and documents — 70% before shipment. We issue the packing list and commercial invoice; export declaration is handled by your forwarder or ours.

Why the tooling question matters

If a supplier pays for the tooling, the supplier usually owns it — and you are tied to that supplier for the life of the product. We quote tooling as a separate line and state the ownership terms in the order confirmation, so the position is written down before you pay rather than discovered later.

Private label, not white label

There is a difference. White label means the same chair with a different sticker. Private label means the frame colour, the upholstery, the logo placement and the carton are set to your specification, so the product you receive is not the product your competitor receives. Most of our OEM work is the second kind.

OEM questions we get asked

What is the MOQ for a custom logo?

Usually 100 pcs per model for logo work. Standard models without a logo start at 10 pcs per model. Tell us the model and the logo method and we will confirm the exact figure.

How long does a sample take?

7 to 15 days depending on the model and whether a custom colour is involved. Sample cost is charged at the unit price plus freight and is refunded against your first bulk order.

Can you match a specific colour?

Yes. Send a Pantone reference, a physical sample, or a photo under daylight. Frames are powder-coated to match; fabric and PU are matched against the mill's colour card, and we send a photo of the actual coated or cut sample for approval before production.

Can you print our logo on the carton?

Yes. Send the artwork and the carton marking spec, and we will produce the carton to your layout. Carton printing is usually tied to the same 100 pcs minimum as the logo.

Do you make changes to the chair itself?

Minor dimensional changes are possible on our own frames — armrest height, seat depth within a range, and the frame colour. Structural changes to a frame we already make are quoted case by case; a completely new design needs a tooling and development discussion.

Who owns the drawing and the mould?

You own your artwork and your brand. Tooling cost and tooling ownership are stated in the order confirmation before you pay a deposit — ask us to put it in writing, and we will. Do not accept a verbal answer on this from any supplier.

Send us your spec and artwork.
Model, quantity, colour reference, logo file and destination port — that is enough for us to quote the same working day.
