We offer two ways to work: <strong>pick from our existing styles and produce directly<\/strong>, or <strong>develop a custom design from your brief<\/strong>. Neither is better \u2014 it depends on where you are in your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stock Styles:<\/strong> Our existing designs with ready-made molds and fabrics. Order and produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Custom Designs:<\/strong> You provide the design or brief, and we go through the full development cycle from sampling onward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not sure which path fits? Tell us your target market and estimated volume, and we&#8217;ll recommend the approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-are-stock-styles\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Stock Styles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stock styles are mature designs Nanbin has already developed and is actively producing. The molds, patterns, and fabric blends are finalized \u2014 no development work needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What this means for you:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>OEM\/ODM Program<\/strong> \u2014 from 300 pcs per style\/colorway (cut &amp; sew)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fast turnaround<\/strong> \u2014 No sampling phase, straight to production scheduling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limited color and size options<\/strong> \u2014 Choose from available options, no custom mix-and-match<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-exclusive<\/strong> \u2014 The same style may be sold through other channels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stock styles are ideal for your first collaboration \u2014 validate the market with an existing product before committing to custom development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-are-custom-designs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Custom Designs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Custom design means we build from your requirements. This can be a completely new design (ODM) or manufacturing based on your tech pack and specifications (OEM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What this means for you:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Higher MOQ<\/strong> \u2014 The sampling cost and new mold setup need to be amortized across production (confirm exact MOQ at inquiry)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Longer lead time<\/strong> \u2014 Includes sampling and revision cycles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Full customization<\/strong> \u2014 Fabric, color, size chart, logos, packaging \u2014 everything to your spec<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brand exclusive<\/strong> \u2014 The design is yours, not shared with anyone else<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Custom follows a full development cycle: requirements discussion \u2192 sample\/mockup \u2192 revision and approval \u2192 bulk production. For the detailed process, see our OEM\/ODM section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-stock-vs-custom-key-differences-at-a-glance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stock vs Custom \u2014 Key Differences at a Glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Aspect<\/th><th>Stock Styles<\/th><th>Custom Designs<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>MOQ<\/strong><\/td><td>300\u20131,000 pcs (construction-dependent)<\/td><td>Higher (confirm at inquiry)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Lead Time<\/strong><\/td><td>Fast, no sampling needed<\/td><td>Includes sampling + revision + production<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Unit Cost<\/strong><\/td><td>Lower (development already paid)<\/td><td>Higher (includes development cost)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Color &amp; Sizing<\/strong><\/td><td>Choose from available options<\/td><td>Fully flexible<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Brand Exclusivity<\/strong><\/td><td>\u274c Non-exclusive<\/td><td>\u2705 Exclusive<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Design Control<\/strong><\/td><td>Limited<\/td><td>Full control<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Best For<\/strong><\/td><td>First orders, market testing<\/td><td>Established brands, differentiation<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-when-stock-styles-work-best\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Stock Styles Work Best<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend stock styles when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Testing a new category<\/strong> \u2014 Not sure if a style will sell? Start with an existing design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Budget-conscious or first collaboration<\/strong> \u2014 No upfront development cost. Low-risk entry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quick replenishment<\/strong> \u2014 Need to restock fast without losing the sales window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seasonal small runs<\/strong> \u2014 Small quantities for holidays or limited campaigns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stock styles are not a &#8220;lower tier&#8221; option. They use the same fabric standards and quality control process as our custom products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-when-custom-designs-make-sense\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Custom Designs Make Sense<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend custom development when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You have an established brand identity<\/strong> \u2014 The product needs to embody your brand personality, not just carry a label.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Competitive differentiation matters<\/strong> \u2014 You don&#8217;t want the same silhouette as dozens of other brands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>You have predictable sales volume<\/strong> \u2014 You can meet the corresponding MOQ and development timeline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Special functionality required<\/strong> \u2014 Specific compression levels, unique fabric blends, or special cut requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of stock styles as model homes and custom designs as building from scratch. Model homes are move-in ready with transparent pricing, but the layout and finishes aren&#8217;t yours. If you know exactly what you want and there&#8217;s no off-the-shelf answer, custom is the right investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-faq\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I change the color of a stock style?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the color change is within a similar shade range (no yarn change required), it may be possible. Confirm at inquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I start with stock styles and switch to custom later?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of our clients started this way. Test the market with stock styles first, then invest in custom development once demand is confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How long does custom development take?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sampling takes about 7 days. From approved sample to bulk delivery, start from 25 days. Complex designs or specialty fabrics will extend the timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are stock styles and custom products made to the same quality standard?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. All products go through the same QA process and AQL standards. Stock does not mean lower quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not sure whether to go stock or custom? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaperfactory.com\/es\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a>, tell us your target market, estimated volume, and style requirements, and we&#8217;ll recommend the right path.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Two Paths Nanbin Offers Not every brand needs to start from scratch.
