Do you offer OEM and ODM services for portable fans?

Direct answer: Yes. OEM covers logo printing, housing colour and retail packaging. ODM works from blade geometry, battery capacity, speed steps and the control board, from current housing moulds, with tooling already amortised so no mould cost is passed to a first order.

OEM and ODM are different commitments

OEM means the product is already defined and your brand goes on it: logo printing, housing colour and retail packaging. Nothing in the build changes, so the certification position does not change and the schedule stays short. ODM means the build itself changes — blade geometry, battery capacity, speed steps and the control board, from current housing moulds — which is a longer path and may need a fresh test report if the change touches the electrical or radio design.

Choose OEM when you want your brand on a proven unit quickly. Choose ODM when the specification is the reason the product will sell, and budget for a test report and a second sample round.

What we need from you before artwork starts

Logo in vector format with the exact colour reference. Housing colour as a Pantone or RAL number, not a photograph. Retail box dieline if you have one, otherwise your preferred box dimensions and the text that must appear. Barcode and, for Amazon, the FNSKU label. Manual language and the certification marks permitted in your market. Missing any one of these is the usual reason a custom order loses a week.

Tooling: what exists and what has to be paid for

For portable fans the tooling position is blade geometry, battery capacity, speed steps and the control board, from current housing moulds. Because that tooling already exists and is already amortised, no mould cost is passed to a first order. A genuinely new housing is a different project, and there the tooling is quoted as a separate line with a 15-day addition to the schedule.

Where the MOQ and lead time move

An OEM change that stays inside the existing carton and housing does not move the MOQ. A new carton does. A new housing colour does. A new mould does, and substantially. On the schedule, an OEM order runs the same lead time as a stock order once artwork is approved; ODM adds the sample round and, where the electrical design changes, the test report.

Related questions

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for portable fans?

The MOQ is 500 pieces per model. Combined orders can start at 500 pieces mixing handheld, neckband, clip-on and desk models that share one battery specification, and a 200-piece trial on current in-stock handheld models. MOQ is set by the packaging run and the first-article inspection batch, not by a sales target.

Which certifications do your portable fans carry?

Units are CE, RoHS and FCC, plus UN38.3 for the battery pack compliant, with PSE for Japan and UKCA for the United Kingdom available on request. Test reports are issued to the actual production build and are supplied with each shipment, not borrowed from another model.

How long does a portable fan sample take and what does it cost?

Stock samples ship in 3 business days and customised samples in 7 to 10 business days after artwork approval. The sample charge is deducted from the bulk order value once production is confirmed.
