Buyer guidance
How to brief your custom program
Decide OEM vs. ODM
Re-brand our developed styles (ODM) for the fastest, lowest-risk launch, or build your own designs from tech packs (OEM). Most buyers mix both — ODM core sellers plus OEM signature styles. We'll advise based on timeline and budget.
Send brand-ready assets
Vector logos (AI/EPS/PDF), Pantone colors, and label/box artwork let us brand the product cleanly across uppers, soles, sock liners, and packaging. The more you supply up front, the fewer sample rounds and the faster you reach bulk.
Scope compliance & packaging
Tell us your destination markets and channels so we can set barcoding, country-of-origin marking, and the testing your imports need — and engineer packaging that protects the shoe and presents the brand on shelf or doorstep.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask
Practical answers for procurement and brand teams scoping a footwear program.
Can I launch my own footwear brand with you?+
Yes — that's the core of our private-label and OEM/ODM service. We produce shoes under your brand with your labels, branding, and packaging, starting from our developed styles or your own designs, with an MOQ of 500 pairs per style and color.
How does the customization process work end to end?+
You share your category, references, branding, and target price; we quote and develop samples (7–12 days); you approve a master sample, branding, and packaging; then we run inspected bulk in 30–45 days and ship on your chosen Incoterm.
What do you need from me to brand the shoes?+
A vector logo (AI/EPS/PDF), brand colors in Pantone, and label/box artwork — or a brief for our team to design. For original styles, a tech pack, reference pair, or 3D file speeds development.
Can you handle branding, sampling, and packaging together?+
Yes — these services are designed to run as one program. Sample development confirms the product, custom branding applies your identity across the shoe, and packaging makes it retail- or e-commerce-ready, all under one supplier.
