Trading strength: one desk for multi-factory OEM so your brand ships as one look — switches, scene panels and packing from aligned partners.
Most failed OEM runs skip sample approval on glass art or packing. The three-step narrative below is what buyers should insist on in the PO language.
Frame, protocol, logo files (vector), languages on carton, target certs, MOQ, colour family, hotel icon set if any.
Visual sample + app binding check + packing photo approval. Hospitality: approve one sample room before floor rolls.
QC photos, random inspection option, consolidated shipment across factories with aligned carton marks.
| Item | Options (indicative) | Buyer must provide | Watch-outs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logo on glass | Silk-print / laser; white / black / grey glass | Vector logo, safe-zone rules | Tiny logos on dark glass fail QC photos |
| Backlight | Colour / brightness where module supports | Preferred night brightness | Not all modules allow colour OEM |
| Scene icons | Hotel / office icon sets | SVG/AI icons + languages | Approve before glass print — scrap cost |
| DND / MUR art | Lens colour + text languages | Corridor brand standards | Height and bilingual text |
| Manual / insert | EN + ES / RU / AR / … set | Language list, legal lines | Match app brand name to insert |
| Packaging | Gift box vs bulk carton | Barcode, carton marks, drop test need | Sample room gift box ≠ mass bulk |
| Private-label app | Brand skin / own app (higher MOQ) | Brand assets, account policy | NRE + longer lead; radio may stay same |
| Colour family | Unified frames across SKUs | Pantone / physical swatch if strict | Multi-factory colour drift — sample lock |

For the Hotel Guest Room Panel Kit, art approval is on the critical path. Wrong icons scrap entire glass lots.
Reading, master off, curtain, mood, DND request — provide vector icons and bilingual labels. Confirm button map against room electrical design.
DND / MUR lens colours, text language, mounting height standard. Approve physical sample under corridor lighting, not only screen mockups.
No. Logo / packing OEM reuses existing tooling. New mould ODM means tooling cost, longer lead and new compliance path. State which you need — most first orders are print + pack OEM.
Cosmetic print usually stays within existing files, but module or antenna changes do not. Any hardware revision needs compliance reconfirm. See Certifications.
Yes with sample lock. Provide physical colour target; approve both factories’ samples under the same light before mass.
Sample process assumes files are used for production only. Live contracts should state IP and file retention — this prototype does not invent legal terms.
Pick existing SKU + silk logo + bulk carton language insert. Skip private-label app and new mould on the first cycle.
