Getting Started
How do I start working with Qyonz?
Getting started with Qyonz is simple and straightforward:
- Submit an Inquiry: Contact us through our website form or email with your product requirements
- Consultation: Our team will schedule a call to understand your needs and provide recommendations
- Quotation: We'll provide a detailed quote including pricing, MOQ, and timeline
- Sample Development: Upon approval, we develop samples for your evaluation
- Production: After sample approval, we proceed with bulk manufacturing
The entire process from inquiry to first order typically takes 4-8 weeks depending on product complexity.
What is the difference between OEM and ODM services?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing): You provide your own formulation, and we manufacture it for you. This is ideal if you have proprietary formulas or specific recipes you want to produce.
ODM (Original Design Manufacturing): We provide ready-made formulations that you can customize and brand as your own. This is perfect for brands that want to launch quickly without developing formulas from scratch.
Both options include full packaging, labeling, and quality control services. Many clients start with ODM and transition to OEM as their brand grows.
Do you work with startups and small brands?
Absolutely! We welcome brands of all sizes, from ambitious startups to established beauty houses. Our flexible MOQ policies and private label options are specifically designed to help emerging brands enter the market.
We offer:
- Lower MOQs for startups (as low as 1,000 units for some products)
- Ready-to-brand formulations for faster time-to-market
- Guidance on regulatory compliance and market entry
- Scalable production as your brand grows
What information do I need to provide for a quote?
To provide an accurate quote, we typically need:
- Product type and category (skincare, haircare, body care, etc.)
- Desired formulation (your own formula or our ODM options)
- Estimated order quantity
- Packaging preferences (type, size, material)
- Target market (for regulatory compliance)
- Timeline requirements
Don't worry if you don't have all details finalized—our team can help guide you through the options.
