Basic understanding: The core difference between OEM and ODM lingerie

OEM: Turn your blueprint into reality.
The brand provides a complete design solution (Tech Pack), and the factory is responsible for precise production

ODM: Innovate on the shoulders of professional experience.
The factory provides a full chain service from design, research and development to production, and the brand can directly choose or customize (such as color, lace decoration, brand logo, etc.)
