Do you require a deposit before production?

Yes. A production deposit is normally required before manufacturing begins. The balance is typically paid before shipment or against shipping documents, depending on the agreed payment terms.

The exact deposit percentage depends on factors such as:

• Standard vs. customized order

• Order value and material commitment

• Whether new tooling, packaging, or engineering work is required
• First-time vs. repeat cooperation

The deposit secures production scheduling and raw-material procurement. For repeat customers and long-term programs, payment terms can be discussed based on order history and cooperation structure.
