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 1β3 days to clear.
Limit revision rounds
Each sample revision adds 3β5 days. Have your branding finalized (logo vector file, Pantone colors) before submitting the brief.
Use air freight for first launch
Air freight (3β7 days) costs more but can save 3β4 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 2β3 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 25β35 days after sample approval and deposit receipt. This covers device manufacturing (15β20 days) running in parallel with packaging production (7β14 days), followed by 2β4 days of final assembly and quality control. Custom mold or app/BLE firmware projects add 30β45 days to the timeline.
What starts the production clock β 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 1β3 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 (15β20 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 15β25% 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 30β45 days for the tooling alone, followed by 25β35 days of production. Total lead time from project start to shipment ready: 60β90 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 25β35 day lead time covers factory production and export packing only. Sea freight from Yantian (Shenzhen) port adds 18β35 days depending on your destination (US West Coast: 18β22 days; Europe: 28β35 days; Australia: 18β25 days). Air freight is 3β7 days but costs significantly more per unit.
