How we work together

Cooperation Models — Four Ways to Produce With Us

Four production-based models: your own design manufactured in our factory, a private label programme built on our design library, an annual distributor plan, and the sample stage that starts them all.

Choose your model

Select the model that matches your stage

Each model below shows how it works, what each side provides and the commercial terms. The production minimum of 5,000 pieces per design or decoration applies to customised models.

OEM Bulk Custom — your design, produced in our factory

The core model. You own the design; we manufacture it. Shape, decoration and packing are built to your specification on a production run, which is what delivers the best achievable unit price.

How it works

  1. Specification — we agree body, dimensions, capacity, decoration method, colour direction and packing.
  2. Artwork and proofing — your artwork is checked for production, then proofed and applied to a fired sample.
  3. Sample approval — you approve a physical sample; that sample becomes the reference for the order and for repeats.
  4. Production — the order is scheduled into a slot and run as one batch with in-line quality control.
  5. Inspection and dispatch — final inspection against the written standard, then documents and shipment.

What you provide

  • Artwork at production resolution
  • target quantity and delivery schedule
  • market and labelling requirements
  • delivery terms (EXW or FOB), destination

What we provide

  • Artwork proofing and technical feedback
  • fired sample for approval

ODM & Private Label — our designs, your brand

If you have no artwork but want your own brand on the shelf, this model starts from our design library: choose a body, glaze and packing, and we produce it under your label.

How it works

  1. Design selection — you choose from our ranges, or we adapt a body to your market brief.
  2. Branding plan — logo placement, print or decal method, packing artwork and label content are defined.
  3. Proof and sample — artwork is proofed and a fired branded sample is produced for approval.
  4. Production — the branded order runs as a production batch against the approved specification.
  5. Repeat production — the specification is frozen so later orders reproduce the same result.

What you provide

  • Target market and channel
  • brand assets and label content
  • target quantity and schedule
  • packaging direction

What we provide

  • Design adaptation advice
  • artwork and packing design support
  • branded sample for approval

Commercial terms at a glance

  • Your design is not resold into your market
  • Brand assets remain yours
  • Terms EXW or FOB

Distributor & Annual Program — planned volume, planned price

For buyers who order across seasons: an agreed annual volume with reserved capacity, a scheduled price review and continuity of specification, so planning happens once rather than shipment by shipment.

How it works

  1. Volume plan — we agree annual volume, item mix and ordering windows.
  2. Price structure — a price level is agreed for the programme, with a defined review cycle.
  3. Capacity reservation — production slots are held ahead of your peak periods.
  4. Rolling call-off — orders are placed against the plan as your demand develops.
  5. Annual review — the year is reviewed with data and the next programme is set.

What you provide

  • Annual volume estimate and mix
  • seasonal windows
  • destination markets
  • a payment structure you can work with

What we provide

  • Reserved production capacity
  • priority scheduling ahead of peaks
  • named commercial contact
  • specification continuity across orders
  • market-specific labelling and packing

Commercial terms at a glance

  • Annual volume commitment with rolling orders
  • Price reviewed on an agreed cycle, not per shipment
  • Capacity reserved against the agreed plan
  • Terms EXW or FOB

Sample, Specification & Development — the stage before production

Every production model begins here. The product is judged physically — body, weight, glaze, print quality and packing — and the specification is written down before a batch is committed.

How it works

  1. Brief — use case, durability expectation, decoration method and packing direction.
  2. Specification sheet — dimensions, capacity, material, firing and finish are documented.
  3. Sample production — a physical sample is produced and shipped for evaluation.
  4. Approval and freeze — the approved sample and specification freeze as the production reference.
  5. Production release — the order is released into a slot against the frozen specification.

What you provide

  • Use case and target market
  • decoration and artwork input
  • durability and packing requirements
  • compliance requirements for your market

What we provide

  • Specification sheet
  • physical sample production
  • test reports where available
  • technical feasibility feedback
  • frozen reference held for repeats

Commercial terms at a glance

  • Sampling is charged as sample work
  • The sample stage precedes production release
  • Custom samples require finalised artwork
  • The production minimum applies to the order that follows
Not sure which fits

Send the design and the quantity — we will say which model applies

Including, where relevant, telling you directly that your quantity is below the production minimum and pointing you to the alternatives.
