OEM Household Goods Manufacturing in China
2 resources tagged with "Household Goods"
Household goods under this tag — food storage containers, vacuum-insulated stainless bottles — are non-electronic but live or die on food-contact compliance and material honesty. A US-market food container needs FDA food-contact compliance and an EU one needs LFGB; the common shortcut is a factory using non-food-grade or recycled PP/PE that passes a visual check but fails a migration test. Vacuum bottles add their own failure mode: a double-wall that loses vacuum holds heat for a few hours instead of the claimed 24, so a real test is to fill, seal, and measure temperature after 24 hours. OEM runs here typically start around 500–1,000 units.
Household-goods sourcing covers consumer items like kitchenware and drinkware, usually OEM/private-label. The pitfall is material substitution — non-food-grade plastic or thin-gauge steel that looks identical but fails FDA/LFGB migration testing or loses vacuum performance — so verify the material certificate and bench-test the actual performance claim.

FAQ
What food-contact certifications do these products need?
For the US, FDA food-contact compliance; for the EU, LFGB (Germany's stricter standard is widely used as the benchmark). Ask for the specific migration test report for the exact resin or steel grade used, not a generic 'food grade' claim.
What MOQ is typical for OEM kitchenware and drinkware?
Food storage container sets commonly start around 1,000 sets and vacuum bottles around 500 units, with custom color, logo, and packaging affecting the minimum. Stock items with only a logo print can sometimes go lower.
