What is the difference between cosmetic OEM and ODM?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"cosmetic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

People say the best item to start a personal brand is cosmetics.<\/span><\/p>\n

First of all, there is a fixed demand base, so it is easy to access and there are many manufacturers, so the infrastructure is well-equipped.<\/span>
Above all, compared to food, medicine, etc., this item has a relatively low MOQ.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, as there are many manufacturers, it takes a long time just to find out the required production conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

WITH.C also receives a lot of inquiries about personal logos, and there are quite a few startup companies.<\/span>
Among them, there are quite a few people who do not know the exact difference between OEM\/ODM\/OBM.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s start by looking at the difference between cosmetic <\/span>OEM\/ODM\/OBM.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

[OEM\/ODM\/OBM difference]<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): <\/span>
    To put it simply, this means putting your logo on the same contents as an existing product with a different design and packaging.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. ODM (Original Design Manufacturer): <\/span>
    A form of creating a new product. If there is a reference product, the process is usually similar to that.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. OBM (Original Brand Manufacturer): <\/span>
    refers to a manufacturer with its own brand. For example, Apple manufactures and sells iPhones under its own brand.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If you want to have your own product like this, you should consider OEM and ODM<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Then, is it okay to just contact the manufacturer and say that you want to customize with this product?<\/span><\/p>\n

    As interest in PL (Private Labeling) for Korean cosmetics increases, many manufacturers are receiving inquiries from overseas.<\/span>
    If you say something like above out of the blue, they generally try not to respond well.<\/span>
    Because they normally judge like ‘There is no plan for products and there’s a high chance that you won’t proceed after hearing the price or MOQ!’<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So which aspects should you consider first and request product manufacturing?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    There are many things to keep in mind than you think, but if you mention the five things below first, the meeting will be much easier when requesting production.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    [5 things to check when requesting OEM\/ODM]<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    1. Wholesale target price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The most important thing in production is price.<\/span>
    There are many factors that go into this price consideration.<\/span>
    First of all, production price, packaging materials, packaging labor costs, packaging design, other certifications, etc.<\/span>
    Of course, there are expensive raw materials, so the price varies depending on the ingredients, but the price per unit is not as high as you might think.<\/span>
    At this time, if you inform the company of the set price<\/strong>, it will be much easier to provide a quote.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Reference Products<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    As an OEM, the product you want to make is clear, but as an ODM, you have to take care of everything from start to finish.<\/span>
    On the manufacturing side, this is another form of \u2018product development.\u2019<\/span>
    At this time, it is a good idea to let the company know if there is a product you want to make<\/strong>.<\/span>
    In particular, the process of coordinating formulation, color, scent, etc. is difficult, so having a reference product will greatly shorten this process.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Package Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The manufacturer also has a design team, so there is no problem leaving it to us.<\/span>
    However, since it is commissioned by a single company, it may be more expensive than you think.<\/span>
    These days, there are well-established platforms that bring together freelancers and share their work.<\/span>
    In particular, overseas there are Behance and Upwork<\/em>, and in Korea there is a similar platform called Kmong<\/strong>.<\/span>
    If you use a place like this to request packaging design, you can do it at a slightly lower cost.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Package Type<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    When making cosmetics, the amount produced in one facility is of course important, but the MOQ often follows the packaging material than you might think.<\/span>
    This is because the MOQ that can be ordered from a packaging company is determined depending on the type of packaging material.<\/span>
    And the price difference between materials is larger than you might think.<\/strong><\/span>
    The tubes we generally use are the cheapest and lightest, so they are good for overseas shipping.<\/span>
    However, if you go for the dropper or pump form, it may be more expensive and the MOQ may also be higher.<\/span>
    Once you have decided on the product formulation, we recommend choosing packaging materials.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Concept<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This does not apply to OEM because the product has already been decided.<\/span>
    However, ODM has many things to consider in the concept.<\/span>
    Representative examples include functionality, customer side, and country.<\/span>
    What functionality<\/strong> do you want, such as whitening or anti-aging?<\/span>
    What is the age and gender<\/strong> of the target customer?<\/span>
    Which countries<\/strong> will you mainly sell to?<\/span>
    If you provide basic information, it will be much easier to determine cosmetic ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Personally, if you are doing OEM\/ODM for the first time, I recommend reading Fraser Doherty’s book,<\/em> “48 Hour Start-up<\/a>“<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
    Although it is a book about food groups, it provides detailed information on the process used to create the first product and what websites are used.<\/span><\/p>\n
