Suppliers use OEM and ODM terminology differently. Ask what work the quotation includes: adapting an existing design, developing new artwork, changing product geometry or coordinating a complete collection. The written scope is more useful than the label alone.
Map the deliverables
List who supplies drawings, tile-face artwork, colour selections and packaging files. Identify the number of concepts and revisions included, the file formats handed over and the point at which extra changes are quoted. Do not assume that a sample fee includes production tooling or source files.
Match approval to the actual change
A logo change needs a legibility and placement check. New geometry needs a dimensional and accessory-fit review. A new storage layout needs a packed-set trial. Ask whether the sample represents the proposed production process and record any differences before approval.
Record commercial and design boundaries
Agree ownership and permitted use of artwork, files and tooling with the contracting parties. Confirm quantities, sample costs and milestone dates for the chosen scope. No fixed confidentiality term, standard development period or guaranteed turnaround is established by this guide.
Prepare the next decision
Next, review prepare your artwork alongside your current brief. Review the custom American mahjong set project page or send a project question with the relevant drawings, photographs and open decisions.
File preparation reference: Adobe Illustrator package files explains collecting linked assets for handoff. Confirm the receiving supplier’s formats and artwork requirements separately.
