OEM Product Development

Create Unique Products from Scratch — Customized Just for You

Looking to bring your product idea to life? At Chelsea Shipping, our OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Product Development service helps you design, develop, and manufacture custom products directly from China. Whether you’re launching a new tech gadget, eco-friendly homeware, or something entirely unique — we turn your vision into a fully manufactured, branded product.


🔍 What is OEM Product Development?

OEM Product Development means creating a completely new product based on your own specifications. Unlike private label (where you rebrand an existing item), OEM lets you:

  • Design new features, sizes, or functions
  • Choose specific raw materials or components
  • Apply unique branding from the ground up
  • Protect your intellectual property or innovation

You own the concept — we help you make it real.


🔧 Our OEM Development Process

Here’s how we take your product from idea to market-ready:

1. Product Consultation & Idea Validation
Share your concept or sketch — we’ll help you evaluate its feasibility, budget, and production strategy.

2. Technical Drawings & 3D Prototypes
We create CAD drawings or prototypes to visualize and refine your idea before manufacturing.

3. Material & Component Sourcing
We source the ideal materials and parts to match your product’s purpose, cost target, and sustainability goals (if applicable).

4. Mold Making & Sample Production
For custom shapes or parts, we develop molds and create a working sample for your approval.

5. Product Testing & Certifications
Need CE, FCC, RoHS, or eco-certifications? We help you meet international safety and compliance standards.

6. Mass Production & Quality Control
Once approved, we coordinate manufacturing and perform strict quality checks at every stage.

7. Packaging, Branding & Shipping
We handle final packaging, custom branding, and ship your finished product straight to your warehouse or fulfillment center.
