ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
Shops that receive a short briefing on oem and odm programs convert noticeably better than shops that only receive stock.

Frequently asked questions
What is the usual minimum for a custom Meta GT project?
Custom colour and artwork typically start around a few thousand units per SKU, higher for full tooling changes.

Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
What happens if a batch fails inspection?
The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
