OEM Flatware Project Checklist for Wholesale Buyers
Prepare a clearer flatware sourcing brief before asking for a quote. This checklist helps wholesale buyers, importers and private-label teams identify the details Sanli needs to review an OEM or ODM project accurately.
What to send before project review
| Information to prepare | Why it helps the review |
|---|---|
| Product reference and set plan | Provide a Sanli item code where available, or clear reference images. State the utensil types and the intended set configuration. |
| Material and finish direction | Identify the requested material label and finish or colour direction. Material must be confirmed for the selected model; do not rely on visual similarity alone. |
| Branding scope | Describe the logo artwork, intended logo position and any marking requirements so the available customization scope can be reviewed. |
| Packaging and label requirements | Share the required pack format, label information and retail or wholesale presentation needs. See the packaging buyer checklist for examples of the questions to settle. |
| Commercial and delivery context | State the target quantity, destination and desired delivery window. These details support a project-specific discussion; they are not a fixed MOQ or lead-time commitment. |

Confirm the specification and customization scope
Sanli reviews the requested product direction, material confirmation, finish, logo and packaging requirements for the specific project.
Review samples or tooling needs where applicable
Existing tooling is assessed against the requested style and specification. If a project requires further tooling discussion or samples, this is confirmed before the project proceeds.
Approve the final specification

Frequently asked questions
Does an existing product photo mean production can start immediately?
No. A reference helps begin the discussion, but the selected model, material, customization, packaging and project terms must be confirmed before production is arranged.
Can I ask for a custom logo or packaging?
Yes. Send the logo, intended placement and packaging requirements with the product reference. Availability and scope are reviewed for the selected item and project.
Are MOQ, samples and lead time fixed?
No. MOQ, sample terms, tooling requirements and production timing depend on the product and customization scope, and are confirmed project by project.
