OEM and ODM
OEM means we produce your design to your specification. ODM means we develop the design with you, from concept through engineering and sampling, for you to sell under your own brand. Designs 4 Life runs both in Vietnam and Mexico, with samples in 3 to 4 weeks and production in 60 to 90 days.
OEM
Your design, our production
You bring the design. We engineer it for production, build a sample to your specification, and produce it once you approve.
- You supply drawings, specifications or a reference sample
- We engineer and sample to match
- Your fabrics, finishes and dimensions
- Labelled and packed to your specification
Best for brands with an established range, or a proven piece to move into new production.
ODM
Developed with you
You bring the brief: the market, price point and style. We develop the design with you through engineering and sampling, ready to sell under your brand.
- Start from photos, a mood or a price target
- Our design and engineering teams develop options
- Refined through samples until approved
- Produced and labelled under your brand
Best for importers and retailers building or refreshing a private label range.

What is the difference between OEM and ODM?
With OEM we produce your design to your specification. With ODM we develop the design with you, from concept through engineering and sampling, for you to sell under your own brand. Both run through the same five step development process.
Can you produce private label furniture?
Yes. We produce to your specification and label cartons and products to customer specification for export.
What do you need from me to start?
Photos, drawings, dimensions, specifications or a reference sample. Our design and engineering teams work alongside production to turn your brief into a sample that meets your requirements before a single unit is built.
How long does sample development take?
Sample development takes 3 to 4 weeks from a confirmed brief.
How do you ship?
In container loads. Programs ship from Vietnam and Mexico in full containers, with every carton labelled to customer specification. Our Vietnam production ships 150 to 180 40HQ containers a month.
