How to Build a Prototype for Your Product?

Building a prototype is a critical step in turning your product idea into reality. Whether you are a hardware startup founder, an ecommerce brand owner, or an inventor, a prototype allows you to test your concept, refine design, and plan for manufacturing.

How to Design a Hit Product?

Every founder we talk to has a version of the same hope: that the product they're holding is the one that breaks through. Most of the time, what separates the ones that actually do from the ones that quietly disappear isn't a single flash of brilliance. It's a set of decisions — some of them made long before the product ever looks finished — that most people never think to name.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about IP protection, MOQs, and timelines

Is my Intellectual Property (IP) safe?

We sign a strict NDA enforced in both the US and China before we start. We also separate manufacturing steps to protect key designs.

What are your MOQs (Minimum Order Quantities)?

It depends on the product complexity, but we negotiate with factories to lower the barrier for the first batch, typically starting from 500-1000 units.

How long does the process take?

For Plan C (Full Dev), it typically takes 3-5 months from sketch to first mass production unit. Sourcing projects can be as fast as 3-4 weeks.

I only have a rough idea. Can you help?

Yes. Our "From Sketch to Scale" service is designed exactly for this. We help you refine the concept, create 3D models, and make it manufacturable.

How do you ensure product quality?

We don't rely on remote photos. Our local team conducts on-site inspections during production and before shipping to ensure zero defects.

Do you handle shipping and customs?

Yes, we provide DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping. We handle all logistics, customs clearance, and duties directly to your warehouse or Amazon FBA.
