Five Common Mistakes in Neoprene OEM Ordering
Most first-time OEM projects fail on small assumptions, not major technical mistakes.
Mistake 1: Not fixing MOQ too early
Late changes usually increase lead time and cost. Set expected quantity clearly before sampling.
Mistake 2: Ignoring logo process compatibility
Logo type, ink, heat transfer temperature, and seam structure must match each product.
Mistake 3: Underestimating packaging
Global shipment requires stable cartons, protective film, and clear labeling.
Mistake 4: No sample acceptance criteria
Before sample, define thickness, color tolerance, and seam standard.
Mistake 5: Overlooking communication cadence
Set fixed review windows before each phase.
