OEM / ODM Process

From concept and tech pack to sampling, bulk production and global shipping.

Hanlong's workflow is designed for buyers who need one team to connect materials, fit, trims, packaging, QC and export coordination.

Idea & Concept

Share sketches, reference samples, target buyer, price band and launch window. Hanlong turns the direction into a practical sourcing brief.

Design & Tech Pack

Confirm materials, measurements, trims, labels, packaging and sample notes so the first sample answers the right questions.

03

Sampling

Develop samples, review fit and handfeel, adjust color and construction, then prepare approval comments for production.

04

Mass Production & QC

Coordinate fabric, trims, production schedule, inline checks, final inspection and packing details before shipment.

Global Shipping

Prepare packing information, carton details and export coordination so buyers can move from finished goods to delivery.
