Lead Time by Product Type and Customization
Customization level is the single biggest driver of lead time. Plan accordingly.
| Order Type | Lead Time | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Standard SKU + sleeve packaging | 25–30 days | Fastest path to market |
| Standard SKU + color box | 28–35 days | Most common private label order |
| Standard SKU + gift box kit | 35–45 days | Premium packaging adds time |
| Custom color (Pantone match) | +5–7 days | Color matching for <500 pcs |
| Custom mold development | 60–90 days total | Includes tooling: 30–45 days |
| App/BLE firmware customization | +15–20 days | Firmware validation + CE radio cert |
| Rush order (in-stock SKU only) | 15–20 days | Premium applies. Contact for availability. |
How to Shorten Your OEM Lead Time
Choose an existing base SKU
Standard mold products start production immediately after deposit. No tooling wait.
Approve artwork quickly
Packaging production cannot start until you approve the dieline. Every day of review delay adds to the timeline.
Pay deposit immediately
Production is scheduled by deposit receipt date. T/T bank transfer takes 1–3 days to clear.
Limit revision rounds
Each sample revision adds 3–5 days. Have your branding finalized (logo vector file, Pantone colors) before submitting the brief.
Use air freight for first launch
Air freight (3–7 days) costs more but can save 3–4 weeks versus sea freight. Worthwhile for launch quantities.
Order in advance of season
Pre-Chinese New Year (January) and Golden Week (October) production slots fill fast. Plan 2–3 months ahead for holiday season inventory.
Lead Time FAQ
How long does OEM production take for silicone vibrators?
Standard OEM production for silicone vibrators at Evokomoribi takes 25–35 days after sample approval and deposit receipt. This covers device manufacturing (15–20 days) running in parallel with packaging production (7–14 days), followed by 2–4 days of final assembly and quality control. Custom mold or app/BLE firmware projects add 30–45 days to the timeline.
What starts the production clock — order placement or deposit?
Production scheduling is triggered by receipt of the 30% deposit. We do not begin material procurement or production slot allocation until the deposit clears. For T/T bank transfers, this typically means 1–3 business days after you initiate the transfer. The deposit receipt date is the official start date for lead time calculation.
Can I get a rush production order for silicone vibrators?
Rush orders (15–20 day production) are available for in-stock base SKUs with standard packaging only. Rush orders require full payment upfront (100%) and a rush fee (typically 15–25% of the production cost). Custom packaging, custom molds, or firmware customization cannot be rushed. Contact us to check current production availability.
How long does a new mold (custom product) take to develop?
New mold development typically takes 30–45 days for the tooling alone, followed by 25–35 days of production. Total lead time from project start to shipment ready: 60–90 days. This includes mold design, CNC machining, T1 sampling (first tool trial), revision rounds, and final production. We recommend allocating 3 months for a new mold project.
Does lead time include sea freight shipping?
No. The 25–35 day lead time covers factory production and export packing only. Sea freight from Yantian (Shenzhen) port adds 18–35 days depending on your destination (US West Coast: 18–22 days; Europe: 28–35 days; Australia: 18–25 days). Air freight is 3–7 days but costs significantly more per unit.
