🔍 The 10-Point Manufacturer Checklist
1️⃣ MOQ — Realistic or Restrictive?
Request MOQ per SKU (existing vs custom packaging). Low MOQ only matters if batch QC remains consistent.
2️⃣ QC System — Ask for Proof.
Look for a documented QC procedure: raw-material inspection, in-process checks, finished-goods testing, and retention samples.
3️⃣ Compliance — Certifications That Matter.
Essential documents include COA, MSDS/SDS, ISO 22716, GMP, FDA, NDC, CPSR, CPNP, SCPN, and CN filing.
4️⃣ Sampling — Speed and Clarity.
Expect 3–7 working days, clear revision rules, and refundable sample fees.
5️⃣ Lead Time — Transparent Timeline.
Existing packaging: 15–20 days. New packaging: 25–35 days.
6️⃣ Packaging Compatibility — Prevent Failures.
Confirm drop-tests, leakage checks, and pump-fit trials to avoid costly defects.
7️⃣ Design Support — Beyond Printing.
Request dielines, barcode templates, INCI verification, and warning layout guidance.
8️⃣ Communication Discipline.
Professional OEMs act like project managers — structured updates, risk alerts, and written confirmations.
9️⃣ Scalability & Capacity.
Ensure the factory can scale from pilot to mass orders without quality loss.
🔟 Payment & Transparency.
Standard terms: 50 % deposit / 50 % before shipment, artwork deadlines, optional video inspection.
