What matters need to be paid attention to when customizing drinkware
In today’s highly competitive drinkware market, customized products have become an important means for dealers to enhance their competitiveness. However, customizing drinkware from manufacturers is not a simple order-receiving process, but a systematic project involving multiple key links. As one of China’s top drinkware manufacturers, Jarrino will today disassemble the whole process of drinkware customization for you in detail to help you avoid risks and achieve efficient cooperation.
Manufacturer screening and evaluation
- Key points of qualification review
Check company/factory qualifications
Confirm food grade safety certification - Production capacity assessment
Investigate the advancement of production workshop equipment
Understand the daily/monthly maximum production capacity data
Confirm whether there is a professional quality inspection laboratory
Development and design needs
When there are only ideas, can drinkware manufacturers provide design services to turn ideas into reality?
Product development points
- Material selection
The material determines the function/usage scenario and cost of the drinkware. Common drinkware materials include: ceramic cups, stainless steel cups, titanium cups, glass cups, plastic bottles, etc., and the applicable scenarios are also different. - Bottle customization
For different drinks, the bottle customization process is also different, such as whether a handle is needed, what kind of process is used for the bottle, etc. These are also the key points that determine your cost. - Bottle cap customization
The types of bottle caps are relatively rich, and different drinkware usage scenarios are also different. Drinkware manufacturers usually provide a variety of bottle caps for you to choose from.
Fee payment process
The fee payment process is also one of the core points that need to be paid. Usually, customized orders need to be sampled first, and customers need to pay the sample fee separately. After the sample is confirmed, the order will officially start. Usually 30%-50% of the fee needs to be paid first. After mass production is completed, the balance is paid and the goods are shipped. The specific situation needs to be confirmed based on the communication between the two parties.
Logistics strategy
There are two main ways of logistics. One is that the customer has his own freight forwarder, and the wineware manufacturer can directly contact the customer’s freight forwarder. If the customer does not have his own freight forwarder, the manufacturer can assist in contacting the freight forwarder for consignment.
Successful wineware customization cooperation requires dealers to establish a professional supply chain management system. It is recommended to steadily advance along the path of “small batch trial order → data collection → optimization and improvement → scale expansion”, while constantly accumulating industry experience data and gradually forming its own product standard system. Jarrino believes that good customization cooperation is not achieved overnight, but a long-term and continuous optimization process.
