What Is ODM in Kids’ Clothing?

ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) means you start from our existing designs rather than your own tech pack. We have developed over 3,000 patterns across kids’ underwear, sleepwear, and basic clothing. You select a base style, then customize the fabric, color, label, and packaging to your brand. ODM is ideal for startups and boutique brands that do not have a dedicated product development team but still want a differentiated product.

How ODM Differs from OEM and Private Label

In OEM, you supply the full tech pack and we manufacture to your spec. In private label, you start from our catalog and relabel. ODM sits in between: you start from our proven designs, then make modifications (adjust the rise, change the leg opening, add a pocket, swap the fabric). The development cost is lower than OEM because the base pattern already exists, and the timeline is shorter because sampling focuses on modifications rather than starting from zero.

Our ODM Customization Process

You browse our base styles (briefs, boxers, training pants, sleepwear, bodysuits). Select what fits your market. We share the spec sheet with available modifications. You choose changes (fabric, color, label, packaging, minor pattern adjustments). We make a modified PP sample for approval. Bulk production follows the same 6-8 week timeline. The MOQ is 100 pieces per style and color.
