What does ODM mean?

Hi, my name is Chris and I work with Thai Son sewing factory. Allow me to explain, what does ODM mean? It is a term used in the manufacturing world. Basically the "D" stands for design and therefore the manufacturer (factory) offers design as well as manufacturing.

An original design manufacturer (ODM) designs and manufactures a garment that is bought and branded by brands or retailers for resale. In contrast you have original equipment manufacturer (OEM). An OEM supplier only produces garments. An OEM factory does not have designs for sell. ODM factories have catalogs of designs for you to choose from.

A brand like Mango does not need designs. They have their own designers in-house. They need a OEM factory.

Some brands or retailers don't have designers on staff. They need ODM: designs and manufacturing.

When a brand or retailer buys ODM garments they put their logo on the garments (not the factory's logo.). This is also known as private label manufacturing (PLM.)

Thai Son S.P sewing factory is and ODM garment manufacturer in Vietnam. Here are some styles they have designed and can produce for you. They can make some small modifications and change to the colors you want. Their MOQ is 3,000 pieces per style per color.
