Made in China - New Product Development
We've been getting new products made in China for our customers
since 1991, some of which were patented or trademarked.
We work with most products made from metal, plastic, wood, stone,
glass, nylon or leather. We do not source jewelry, textiles or chemicals.
We're not tied to any one factory which leaves us free to find the
right manufacturer for your product. This means you won't be pushed
to use a factory that may not be right for the job.
Quality control is our first concern.
Sourcing product that is made from multiple processes or materials
is not a problem. Parts from different factories are sent to one
location for final assembly.
All assembly and packaging can be done; products are packaged to
your specifications.
Going from concept to production
and successfully marketing a new product is a process that requires
that you take several critical steps before we can quote
your product:
1. The product must be engineered, prototyped
and tested to insure that it performs as needed. Not prototyping
your product is a costly mistake that can result in a shipment of
defective parts. The prototyping process can also save you money
by exposing ideas on how the product might be made at a lower cost.
Jumping from concept to production without prototyping and testing
is like playing Russian Roulette with 5 bullets loaded in the chamber.
2. If there might be any
patent or trademark infringement issues you will need to perform
a patent search and/or consult a patent attorney. We do not perform
patent or trademark searches; we will not knowingly source a product
that would infringe on another company's patents or trademarks.
3. After you've made a fully functioning
prototype you should have shown it to as many of your customers
as possible, asking them if they will buy the product. True market
research is asking your customers if they will pay you for your
product; market research isn't coming up with an idea that you think
will sell and then going for it. (It's what your customers
want to buy that counts, not what you want to sell.) From doing
this you should be able to asses whether you should proceed in getting
the product made and what quantities to buy.
4. After you've prototyped your product
and done the right market research you should have engineer's prints
created and/or a final version of the prototype made. We need a
prototype that represents the product exactly as you want to buy
it or a complete set of prints in order to quote the product. We
cannot be responsible for returning any prints or samples.
5. You must have the financing in place
to purchase the inventory; our minimum order value is $10,000.00.
If you are setting up a new company you should
have made a business plan. Your business plan will help you understand
the total costs involved in setting up a new business so that you
can acquire enough capital to insure that your new company will
make it over the long haul. Lack of planning and insufficient capital
are 2 of the biggest reasons why new businesses fail.
We need the following
to get a quote:
1. Prototype and/or engineer's drawings.
2. Purchase quantities per part.
3. The major city closest to you so that we can provide a quote
with the freight included.
