Can I start a pilot order of 500–1000 units per SKU for body care OEM/ODM?

For body care OEM/ODM, our typical MOQ is 1,000-3,000 units per SKU, so 500 units is usually not workable for production. A 1,000-unit pilot is often possible for simpler formats/packaging after formula and packaging are confirmed.

Quick Answer (for busy buyers)

Here’s the buyer-first summary. If your brand name is on the label, you usually act as the responsible person and must ensure the listing is submitted and kept current.

  • For body care OEM/ODM, a 500-unit per-SKU pilot is generally below our production MOQ.
  • Most items start at 1,000-3,000 units per SKU; simpler processes can start at 1,000, while more complex packaging, sets, or formulas typically require 3,000.
  • A practical approach is: confirm the product concept and target positioning, then we customize the formula and provide lab samples for approval before you commit to the pilot run.
  • We can also support brand assets like the product structure plus insert/spec copy and a price list, and provide overall VI and packaging matching.
  • For documentation, we can assist with the required certificates package and barcode information, and support trademark registration if needed.
  • Once the formula and packaging are locked, bulk production lead time is typically about 10-20 working days.
  • Packaging procurement often takes 10-30 working days (e.g., tubes 15 days, glass bottles 15 days, acrylic bottles 30 days; single box 15 days).
  • We can arrange product testing and track the inspection report; approvals depend on the applicable requirements and cannot be guaranteed.
