Silicone Manufacturing FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about custom silicone products, OEM/ODM manufacturing, MOQ, samples, tooling, production, quality control, packaging and delivery.
Building a new silicone product? You do not need a complete specification before contacting us. A drawing, reference sample, sketch or product idea is enough to start a discussion.

Yes. Our services are designed for brands, wholesalers, distributors and businesses developing their own silicone product lines.
We can support both new product development and customization of existing product concepts.
Customization & OEM / ODM
From an initial idea or drawing to a finished branded product, our team can support the development process.
Yes. We support both OEM and ODM projects.
OEM projects can be developed based on your drawings, specifications or existing designs. For ODM or new product development, our engineering team can also provide design and manufacturing suggestions based on your product idea.
The more information you can provide, the more accurately we can evaluate the project.
- Product name and intended application
- 2D drawing or 3D CAD file, if available
- Reference sample, sketch or photos
- Target dimensions and function
- Required silicone material or hardness, if known
- Color and Pantone requirements
- Logo or branding requirements
- Estimated order quantity
A complete drawing is not required to start. We can discuss the project from an idea, sketch or reference product.
Yes. Our engineering team can review your idea, sketch or reference sample and provide product development suggestions.
Where required, we can work with 3D CAD files and adjust the design for manufacturability, tooling requirements and stable mass production.
Depending on the product structure, we can support customization of:
- Shape and dimensions
- Silicone material and hardness
- Product color
- Surface texture and finish
- Logo and branding
- Printing and other decoration
- Packaging and labeling
Yes. We support custom branding and packaging solutions for OEM and private-label projects.
Logo options may include tooling-based details, screen printing, pad printing, laser engraving, epoxy and other suitable methods depending on the product design.
Packaging can also be customized, including color boxes, hanger tags, PET boxes and other packaging formats.
Silicone Materials & Safety
Material selection should be based on the application, product structure and required compliance standards.
Depending on the project, we can work with different silicone material solutions, including solid silicone and liquid silicone rubber (LSR).
Our engineering team can recommend the appropriate material based on the product's application, structure, performance requirements and production method.
Yes. Food-grade silicone materials are available for applicable products such as kitchenware, bakeware and baby products.
Depending on the target market and application, we can discuss applicable FDA, LFGB and other testing or compliance requirements before production.
We can discuss and provide relevant testing or compliance documentation according to the material, product and destination market.
FDA and LFGB requirements should be confirmed for the specific product and application rather than assumed universally across every product.
Yes. Silicone hardness and color can be selected according to the product requirements.
For custom colors, you can provide a Pantone reference or another color reference for evaluation and sample confirmation.
MOQ, Samples & Pricing
Quantities and sample requirements vary by product structure, tooling and manufacturing process.
MOQ depends on the specific product, tooling, production method and customization requirements.
We support low-MOQ projects for selected products, but the exact minimum quantity should be confirmed after reviewing the product specifications.
Yes. We accept selected small-batch projects with a suitable minimum order quantity.
This can be useful for new brands that want to validate a product, collect market feedback or test an initial sales channel before scaling up.
Yes. Samples can be produced according to the confirmed product requirements before mass production.
Sample charges may apply depending on the project. For many projects, approved sample costs can be discussed as part of the subsequent order.
Custom pricing depends on factors such as product structure, dimensions, material, silicone hardness, tooling, decoration, packaging and order quantity.
To improve quotation accuracy, please send us your drawing, sample, product photos or product concept, together with your estimated quantity whenever possible.
Tooling, Lead Time & Manufacturing
A stable production project starts with the right design, tooling and sample confirmation.
Yes. Kangde has an in-house tooling capability to support custom silicone product development.
This helps our engineering team coordinate mold development, prototype evaluation and production requirements more efficiently.
Production timing depends on the product, tooling status, order quantity, customization requirements and production schedule.
A more accurate delivery estimate will be provided after the project specifications are confirmed.
Yes. Our custom service can cover the project lifecycle from initial concept and engineering through tooling, prototyping, sample confirmation, mass production, post-processing, quality control and packaging.
This one-stop model allows the major manufacturing steps to be coordinated through one supplier.
Quality & Inspection
Quality control is integrated throughout the production process rather than handled only before shipment.
Quality control covers the relevant stages of material selection, tooling, production, post-processing and final inspection.
Custom products can also be reviewed against the approved sample, drawings and agreed product specifications before shipment.
Yes. Finished silicone products are inspected before shipment, including trimming and quality checks in the production process.
Inspection requirements can also be aligned with the product specifications and quality expectations agreed during the project.
Testing requirements can be discussed according to the product, material, market and application.
Relevant testing and compliance documentation should be confirmed for the specific project before mass production.
Packaging, Delivery & After-Sales
The project does not end at production. Packaging and delivery can also be coordinated according to your market.
Yes. We can support customized packaging solutions based on your product, brand requirements and budget.
Available solutions may include color boxes, hanger tags, PET boxes and other customized packaging formats.
Yes. We can coordinate shipment arrangements according to the selected shipping method and project requirements.
