OEM / ODM
OEM / ODM & Private Label Scale Manufacturing
Zhezhong Weighing Apparatus Factory has manufactured weighing scales in Yongkang, Zhejiang since 1989. We supply importers, distributors, retail chains and private-label brands with OEM production, ODM development and private-label programs across body scales, kitchen scales, hanging scales, baby scales and dial scales — from a 20,000 m² facility with 50+ sets of production and testing equipment and a monthly capacity of 100,000+ pcs.
If your project needs your logo on the product, your artwork on the retail box, and a supplier who accepts third-party inspection at any time, this page explains exactly how we work: MOQ, sampling, customization scope, payment terms, quality checks and delivery.
Everything below is grounded in what we publish on our own pages — factory size, monthly capacity, certifications, payment terms, delay compensation — so you can verify each number before you reach out.
Collaboration Models
Three Ways to Work With Us
Most buyers start with one of three models. The right one depends on how much of the product you want to change, and how much validation you want before committing to bulk volume.
1. OEM Production — Your Brand on Our Models
Use an existing Zhezhong model (or a model you already know) and apply your brand, packaging and market-specific configuration. This is the fastest route to shelf: tooling and product structure stay unchanged, so sampling is quick and unit cost stays predictable.
What you can customize (all confirmed scopes):
- •Custom logo printing on product and packaging
- •Private-label packaging design with your brand identity
- •Product color and feature/specification adjustments
2. ODM Development — Change the Product, Not Just the Logo
When the market needs a product that does not exist yet in our catalogue, we support ODM development: product appearance, structure, functions and packaging developed with your positioning in mind.
ODM design service includes:
- •Product concept and appearance development
- •Function and specification planning
- •Packaging structure and retail presentation
3. Private Label — Your Brand, Ready-Made Product
For buyers who want to test a market or a channel before committing to a full OEM program, private label applies your brand to a mature model with minimal changes.
What private label includes:
- •logo and retail-box customization on existing models
- •manual, label and barcode customization
- •small-batch trial orders supported

Customized projects (logo + packaging + spec changes): quoted per project based on customization scope.
Sampling and Golden-Sample Approval
Every customized order runs through a sample before bulk production. You check appearance, functions, branding and packaging; nothing moves to mass production until you approve it.
- 1
Requirement confirmation — category, target market, quantity, logo, packaging direction, required functions.
- 2
Model recommendation — we shortlist 2–4 existing models that fit your market and price target.
- 3
Sample preparation — timing discussed at quotation stage based on customization scope (logo and packaging artwork typically finalize faster than ODM tooling).
- 4
Buyer review — you check appearance, function and branding; revisions are made if needed.
- 5
Golden sample sealed — the approved sample is sealed and kept for production reference.
- 6
Bulk production — released only after golden-sample confirmation.
Sample cost: charged at sampling, then refunded on the bulk order.
Sealed samples: retained by us for quality reference during production and final inspection.

Delivery
Delivery, Capacity Transparency and Delay Compensation
OEM buyers lose money on two things: unclear schedules and late shipments. Both are addressed in writing before production.
Capacity transparency — production capacity visibility shared with the buyer.
Weekly progress updates during production.
Shipping space booked with major carriers — we coordinate booking so your goods leave on schedule.
Delay compensation: 1% discount per day of delay, capped at 10%.
1-year warranty with full after-sales support.
Full refund if quality does not match the approved sample.
Verification
How to Verify Us Before You Place an Order
Sourcing from a new factory is a risk decision. Here is what you can check independently before ordering — no sales claim required:
- 1
Audit or visit the factory
Third-party inspection is welcome at any time; send your own inspector or appoint SGS, BV or Intertek.
- 2
Check the legal entity and address
Zhezhong Weighing Apparatus Factory, No. 10 Chaoyang West Road, Huku Industrial Park, Yongkang, Zhejiang, China — a physical plant in Yongkang, China's Hardware Capital, not a trading office.
- 3
Ask for the quality certificate
ISO 9001:2015 has been held since 2010; CE and UKCA certification reports are available for relevant models.
- 4
Ask for the bank account
Payment goes to a verified corporate account in the factory's own name — never to an individual.
- 5
Order a sample first
Sample cost is refunded on the bulk order, and the approved sample is sealed as the production reference.
- 6
Use platform protection
Orders can run through Alibaba Trade Assurance.
- 7
Test the response
Email is answered within 24 hours; WhatsApp is reachable 24/7, and you get one dedicated account manager.
If a supplier cannot pass these seven checks, you are most likely dealing with a trading company rather than a manufacturer.
