OEM vs. ODM — What's the Difference?
Both services are available at BOVTECK, depending on how much design input you want to provide versus rely on our team for.
You Design, We Manufacture
You provide the specifications, drawings, or an existing reference sample — our team manufactures it exactly to your requirements under your brand.
- You provide technical specs or a reference sample
- We manufacture to your exact requirement
- Full branding/private labeling under your name
- Best for brands with in-house technical/product teams
We Design, You Brand It
You tell us your product goals and target market — our R&D team designs the valve, actuator, or packaging solution, then you brand and sell it as your own.
- You describe your product goal & target spec
- Our R&D team designs the solution from scratch
- Faster path if you don't have in-house engineering
- Ideal for new brands entering aerosol categories
What Can Be Customized
From core valve function to final branding — here's what's open for customization.
Valve Bore & Dosage
Custom bore size, spray output, or metering dosage
Actuator Design
Custom shape, texture, anti-slip surface
Color & Finish
Custom color matching, surface finish
Can/Bottle Size
Custom diameter, height, neck finish
Material Selection
Choose plastic, metal & gasket materials
Printing & Labels
Logo printing, labeling on cans/components
Packaging & Cartons

New Tooling
Full mold/die development for new designs
Our OEM/ODM Development Process
A typical custom development project from first inquiry to mass production.
Inquiry & Requirement Review
Share your target spec, reference sample, or product goal. NDA available upon request for sensitive projects.
1–3 daysTechnical Feasibility Review
Our engineering team reviews feasibility, proposes a design direction, and confirms whether new tooling is required.
3–5 daysDesign & Drawing Confirmation
Technical drawings and 3D renderings are shared for your approval before any tooling is cut.
5–7 daysTooling / Mold Development
In-house CNC mold-making and stamping die development, built to ±0.01mm precision.
15–25 daysFirst Sample Production & Testing
First samples are produced and tested (leak, spray, dosage) before being sent for your approval.
5–7 daysSample Approval & Adjustment
Based on your feedback, we fine-tune tooling if needed before confirming for mass production.
3–10 days (if adjustment needed)Mass Production & Export
Full production run with standard QC checkpoints, followed by export packing and shipment.
20–30 daysHow Tooling Cost Works
Transparent terms around mold ownership and cost — no surprise fees.
Mold Ownership
Tooling developed for your custom project is dedicated to your product design. Ownership terms are confirmed in writing before tooling begins.
Cost Offsetting
In many cases, tooling cost can be partially or fully offset against your first mass production order, depending on order volume — details confirmed in your quotation.
Transparent Quotation
Tooling cost, per-unit price, and lead time are all quoted separately and clearly before you commit to the project — no hidden fees.
Make It Yours
Branding options to help your product look and feel like your own, not a generic supplier part.
Logo Printing on Cans
Direct printing or label application on aluminum cans with your brand artwork.
Custom Color Matching
Pantone-matched color for plastic actuators, caps, and housings.
Custom Carton Markings
Your logo and shipping marks printed on export cartons.
Custom Inner Packaging
Branded poly bags or blister packaging for retail-ready presentation.
What to Expect, By Project Type
General reference figures — exact numbers are confirmed based on your specific product.
| Project Type | Typical MOQ | Tooling Required | Total Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| OEM — Branding on Standard Product | Lower (standard part MOQ) | No | 20–25 days |
| OEM — Your Spec, Existing Tooling Platform | Medium | Minor modification only | 25–35 days |
| ODM — New Valve/Actuator Design | Higher (new tooling investment) | Yes — full new tooling | 45–60 days |
| ODM — New Aluminum Can Size | Higher | Yes — full new tooling | 50–65 days |
