Step 1 · Requirement Alignment
Share target SKU, capacity, lid type, market requirements, and certification scope.
OEM Process for Stainless Steel Drinkware
A clear 6-step path from inquiry to shipment, built for procurement teams that need speed and predictable quality.
Step 2 · Model + Decoration Proposal
We recommend matching models, customization methods, and estimated lead time.
Step 3 · Sample Development
Artwork confirmation followed by sample preparation — timing depends on mold type (see lead-time reference below).
Step 4 · Sample Approval
Confirm color, logo, lid configuration, packaging direction, and compliance file scope.
Step 5 · Bulk Production + QC
Mass production starts after approval, with in-line checks and pre-shipment inspection.
Step 6 · Shipment + Follow-up
Export packing and shipment planning, then repeat-order planning based on sell-through.
