The OEM and ODM process is the set of steps that takes a product from first idea to finished goods on your shelf. A clear process keeps launches on track. This is how a typical project with Furley Bioextracts runs.
The OEM and ODM process
Key takeaways
- There are seven steps, from brief to repeat orders.
- ODM starts with a brief. OEM starts with your formula.
- Regulatory and packaging work run alongside development, not after it.
- Minimum order quantities depend on format, packaging and ingredients.
Step 1: Brief
Tell us the product type, target market, the claims you would like to make, the format and your brand positioning. A short note is enough to begin.
Step 2: Feasibility and formulation
For ODM we develop a formulation around your brief. For OEM we review your formula or specification. We flag anything that affects quality, stability or regulation.
Step 3: Samples and revisions
You review samples and we refine them until the product is what you intended.
Step 4: Regulatory and documentation
We help prepare the information needed for NPRA notification or registration with the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency. We also review label text and claims, and confirm halal requirements where they apply.
Step 5: Packaging and artwork
We coordinate packaging materials and artwork so the finished pack suits your brand and the rules of your market.
Step 6: Production and quality control
Production follows GMP. HACCP and FSSC 22000 guide food products. Quality checks and batch records run throughout.
Step 7: Delivery and repeat orders
We hand over finished goods with the documentation you need, and plan repeat runs with you as your brand grows.
What should I prepare for the OEM and ODM process?
You do not need everything on day one. It helps to have:
- The product type and format you want
- The market you will sell in
- The claims you hope to make
- Any formula or specification you already have (for OEM)
- Packaging ideas and brand direction
- Whether halal is required
What affects minimum order quantity?
Minimum order quantities depend on the product format, packaging and ingredients. We will confirm what is practical once we understand your brief. Read more about our manufacturing services.
Common questions about the OEM and ODM process
How long does a project take?
It depends on the product, the formulation work and the regulatory route. After the brief we can outline the stages and what affects timing for your product.
Do I need a formula before I contact you?
No. ODM projects begin with a brief. If you already have a formula, we review it as the first step of an OEM project.
Can I change the formula after samples?
Yes. Samples exist so you can review and refine. Changes after approval may affect documentation, so we agree them early.
