OEM vs. ODM : What’s the Difference?

Choosing between OEM and ODM manufacturing depends on your brand’s design capabilities, budget, order quantity and desired time to market. As an experienced clothing manufacturer in China, we provide flexible OEM and ODM apparel manufacturing services for fashion brands, wholesalers and clothing businesses worldwide.

OEM

  • With OEM clothing manufacturing, you provide the designs, tech packs, measurements, fabric requirements and branding details. We manufacture the garments according to your specifications while protecting your designs and intellectual property.
  • OEM production offers greater control over garment fit, fabrics, colors, trims, construction and finishing. It is ideal for established apparel brands or businesses that already have complete product designs and require a reliable garment factory for sampling and bulk production

ODM

  • With ODM clothing manufacturing, our team supports product development based on your target market, preferred style and brand positioning. You can select from our existing garment designs and customize the fabrics, colors, sizing, labels, logos, packaging and other details.
  • ODM services reduce product development time and costs, making them suitable for startups, wholesalers and clothing brands that want to launch new collections quickly without developing every design from the beginning
