When sourcing scarves from manufacturers, buyers often encounter two service models: ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing). Understanding the differences helps you choose the right approach for your business goals.
What Is OEM?
In an OEM arrangement, you provide the complete design specifications — patterns, materials, colors, dimensions, and packaging. The manufacturer produces exactly what you specify. This model suits brands with established design capabilities.
What Is ODM?
ODM means the manufacturer handles both design and production. You can select from existing designs, request modifications, or collaborate on new concepts. This is ideal for brands that want to focus on marketing and sales rather than product development.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose OEM if you have a strong design team and unique brand aesthetic. Choose ODM if you are entering the market, need faster time-to-market, or want to leverage manufacturing expertise. Many of our successful clients start with ODM and transition to OEM as their brand matures.
