OEM, ODM processing cooperation model
We offer comprehensive services at our full-scale seasoning facilities:
- OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): We manufacture to your existing formula/spec and brand, then co-pack under your label—plus logistics.
- ODM (Original Design Manufacturer): We develop from scratch (flavor R&D), adapt packaging and labels to your brief, and deliver a turnkey product with end-to-end logistics.
| Criterion | ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) | OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) |
| Definition | The factory provides ready-made formulas/designs (a library of seasoning blends and packaging templates). You select, fine-tune flavor, and apply your own label. Suitable when you want to develop products with your own brand or unique seasoning profile. | The factory manufactures according to the brand’s own formula/requirements; the client owns the formula and specifications. Suitable when you need to launch fast. |
| Level of customization |
Very high: ingredients, ratios, flavor profile, packaging, and specifications. |
Moderate: choose an existing formula, adjust salt/heat/aroma, grind size/mesh, packaging, and label. |
|
Formula ownership |
The base seasoning formula belongs to the factory; the client has usage rights under private label. | The brand typically owns/co-owns the seasoning formula and technical specs. |
|
Time to market |
Longer (R&D, sampling, validation); suitable for long-term strategy. | Faster (formulas and processes already available); good for market trials and seasonal products. |
|
R&D requirement |
High: detailed brief, multiple sample rounds, COA and custom standards. | Low–medium: sensory and basic stability checks on existing samples. |
|
Start-up cost |
Higher (R&D, testing, custom label/pack design). | Lower (leverages existing seasoning formulas). |
|
MOQ (minimum order) |
Typically higher; can be flexible by product/packaging line. | Typically lower; suitable for pilot runs and e-commerce channels. |
|
Quality control |
Against custom technical specs; requires strict QA/QC systems and full traceability. | Against factory standard specs; QA/QC is already optimized. |
|
Risks |
Risk of time and cost if the brief changes often, but greater differentiation. | Lower differentiation vs. competitors; compensated by speed and cost advantages. |
|
When to choose |
When you have a long-term brand strategy, need a signature seasoning blend, and target large distribution. | When you need to launch quickly, test the market, or expand your line with optimized costs. |
|
Typical examples |
Exclusive marinades and seasonings for F&B chains; premium retail lines. | Private-label seasoning collections for marketplaces, Lunar New Year gift sets, seasonal limited products/collections. |
Quick pick guide:
- Choose ODM if you want strong differentiation with fast timelines, custom development on factory bases, and international retail readiness.
- Choose OEM if you already have (or need to build) a proprietary formula, seek maximum control, and plan long-term scale.
