OEM & ODM Customisation · MINKO
Custom household products for retailers, brands and importers. MINKO connects your brief with product development, specialist manufacturing partners and retail packaging.
Choose your starting point
Start with an existing product, refine a proven format or develop a new idea. We help define the right scope before you commit to samples or tooling.
Build on an existing product format and focus development on the details your customers see.
Review first: available options, quantities and sample requirements.
Adapt a suitable base product around the function, presentation or specification your range needs.
Review first: process limits, tooling changes and cost impact.
Share a concept, sketch or specification. We coordinate feasibility and development with a suitable manufacturing partner.
Review first: development scope, tooling terms and milestones.
Customisation options
Options are reviewed against the selected product, material, manufacturing process and target cost.
| Development area | What we can review | What helps us quote |
|---|---|---|
| Material & construction | Material grade, thickness, weight, hardness and component choices. | Intended use, target cost and market requirements. |
| Shape & function | Dimensions, capacity, grips, lids, storage features and set combinations. | Drawings or references, key dimensions and performance priorities. |
| Colour & finish | Colour matching, moulded colour, glaze, coating or surface finish. | Colour reference, finish sample and acceptable variation. |
| Logo & decoration | Suitable printing, engraving, embossing or decoration methods. | Logo artwork, placement, size and durability requirements. |
| Retail packaging | Colour boxes, sleeves, header cards, labels and gift sets. | Retailer guidelines, artwork, languages and pack format. |
| Shipment presentation | Master carton layout, pack quantities, marks and barcode placement. | Packing specification and receiving requirements. |
Built around the buying process
A successful private-label project needs more than an attractive sample. Buying, technical, design and logistics teams need to work from the same agreed specification.
MINKO coordinates product details, sampling feedback and packaging requirements with the selected partner, helping keep revisions and approvals connected.

Questions before we begin
They depend on the product, material, colour, branding, tooling and order mix. Share your estimated quantity per SKU so we can review practical options and quote the relevant sample and production timing.
Independent manufacturing partners produce the goods. MINKO coordinates the buyer brief, development, sampling, packaging requirements and order follow-up as your trading and export partner.
Tooling costs, ownership, maintenance, exclusivity and design-use terms should be agreed in writing for the specific project before tooling starts. Share any confidentiality requirements before sending sensitive design files.
Share the destination market, intended use and retailer guidelines at the briefing stage. We coordinate the applicable testing and documentation scope, packaging requirements and inspection arrangements with you and the selected partner.
Start a B2B project
Send your buying brief and reference products. We will review customisation routes, sampling requirements and the information needed for a meaningful quotation.
Reference files can be sent directly to Barnet@minkohome.com. If some details are still open, tell us what is confirmed and what needs development.
