Concept translated into specifications
Turn the expected use, customer, functions, materials, dimensions and target cost into a brief factories can quote consistently.
Mijay Group resource
China product development
Direct answer
Product development in China converts an idea into a manufacturable, testable specification. The process may include design clarification, material selection, engineering, prototypes, tooling, packaging, compliance review, samples and a controlled production launch. Each approval must be documented before the next financial commitment.
What Mijay Group handles
Prototype and sample coordination
Manage versions, feedback and approval criteria so that changes are not lost between messages.
Production-readiness planning
Connect tooling, packaging, compliance, quality checks and manufacturing milestones before launch.
How the project works
1. Product definition
Clarify the user need, target market, functions, appearance, materials, quantity and cost objective.
2. Feasibility and supplier selection
Identify the required processes and compare manufacturers capable of development, not only catalogue supply.
3. Prototype and engineering iterations
Review samples against documented feedback until a production reference can be approved.
4. Packaging and compliance
Prepare labels, instructions, packaging tests and market-specific product requirements before mass production.
5. Pilot or mass-production launch
Freeze approved files, define inspections and follow the agreed production milestones.
What you need to know before you start
Tooling ownership must be written
Contracts should state who owns moulds, files and custom components, where they are kept and how they can be transferred.
Changes affect price and lead time
A new material, tolerance, colour, feature or package can alter tooling, testing, MOQ, cost and production schedule.
Intellectual-property planning starts early
Brand searches, design ownership, confidentiality and market rights should be addressed before sharing sensitive files broadly.
Frequently asked questions
Can a Chinese factory develop a new product from an idea?
Yes, when the idea can be converted into clear technical and commercial requirements and matched with a manufacturer that has the necessary engineering and production capability.
What is the difference between OEM and ODM?
OEM commonly refers to manufacturing from the buyer’s design or specification. ODM generally starts from a supplier-developed design that is adapted or branded. Actual responsibilities must be written in the project documents.
How many samples are needed?
There is no fixed number. Sampling continues until the agreed functional, visual, packaging and compliance criteria are met and the approved version is clearly recorded.
