Manufacturing in China - Part 2 - Get Down and Dirty
Do you even know what you are trying to make? If not, you better know before you go! You've got to be as detailed as possible in the type of product you are trying to make. If you have drawings or illustrations, make sure you also have the measurements, colors, and material for every part of your product.
It is difficult for the manufacturer to produce the product you want if there are holes in your design. There will always be questions the factory will have, but eliminate as many as you can before you begin. In this way, your product will be produced faster and better.
To help you become more specific with what you want, answer the following questions:
- What is the size of each part of your product? Remember to include the smallest pieces of your product and your logo.
- What material is used to make each part? Know exactly the type of material you want to use. The type of material you use many times will determine the quality of the product you get.
- What are the specific colors of your product and logo? Don't say red, get specific. There are many different shades of red. Find the pantone and CMYK number for your color of choice. You can find these numbers online with the matching colors.
- What changes do you want to make to your sample or designs? There may be parts of your sample you want to make changes to, especially if you bought your sample product from a competitor. Know exactly what design or functional changes you want to make to it before you begin.
- How much do you want to order and what are your price points?
