This guide walks through the five steps of <strong>OEM cat litter<\/strong> production at Cat Global \u2014 from artwork to container load \u2014 and shows what to expect from a serious <strong>cat litter oem<\/strong> partner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"what-is\">What is OEM \/ private label cat litter?<\/h2>\n<p>OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and private label are functionally the same thing in the cat litter industry: the <strong>cat litter manufacturer<\/strong> produces the product, and you put your own brand name on the bag. There are three common variants:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stock formula + your artwork<\/strong> \u2014 fastest path. You pick a substrate + fragrance from the <strong>cat litter manufacturer<\/strong>&#8216;s catalog; we print your label.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Custom formula + your artwork<\/strong> \u2014 bespoke dust %, granule size or fragrance tuned for your market.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Full ODM<\/strong> \u2014 the manufacturer also designs the formula, fragrance and bag from your brief.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cat Global supports all three. ~70% of our private-label customers start with option 1 and graduate to option 2 within 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"five-steps\">The 5-step OEM \/ ODM process<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1 \u2014 Inquiry &amp; written quote (24 hours)<\/h3>\n<p>Send your substrate preference, target fragrance, MOQ and Incoterm (FOB \/ CIF \/ DDP). A serious <strong>cat litter manufacturer oem<\/strong> partner replies with a written quote within 24 hours \u2014 not &#8220;we&#8217;ll check and get back&#8221;. The quote should specify:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Per-ton FOB Dalian price (broken down by substrate and bag size)<\/li>\n<li>Artwork fee (Cat Global: free for OEM)<\/li>\n<li>Plate \/ cylinder fee (only if a custom fragrance or color is involved)<\/li>\n<li>Third-party inspection fee<\/li>\n<li>Lead time (\u2264 20 days from deposit, Cat Global)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 2 \u2014 Free sample (5 working days)<\/h3>\n<p>A 5\u201310 kg <strong>oem cat litter<\/strong> sample is the cheapest insurance you can buy. Demand it from every shortlist supplier, then run the dust \/ clump \/ scent panel yourself. Cat Global ships samples within 5 working days, freight collect. <em>Pro tip:<\/em> ask for two samples \u2014 one stock, one with the closest matching custom fragrance \u2014 to compare side by side.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3 \u2014 Artwork &amp; formula confirmation (3 working days)<\/h3>\n<p>Send your logo, copy and target market language. Cat Global&#8217;s in-house design desk delivers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Print-ready artwork in 24 hours<\/li>\n<li>Bag spec (size, material, valve, handle) confirmation in 48 hours<\/li>\n<li>Label copy translated and regulatory-checked for the destination market in 72 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For <strong>private label cat litter manufacturers<\/strong> operating at scale, this entire step is free. If a supplier charges an artwork setup fee over $300 per SKU, ask why.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4 \u2014 Deposit &amp; production (20 days)<\/h3>\n<p>30% T\/T deposit triggers production on the dedicated line. Cat Global&#8217;s 12 lines allow OEM and stock runs to run in parallel without queue contention. The remaining 70% is paid against copy of B\/L (or L\/C at sight for orders \u2265 3 \u00d7 40HQ).<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5 \u2014 Third-party inspection &amp; shipment<\/h3>\n<p>An independent inspector (SGS, Bureau Veritas or Sodefco) checks dust %, clumping strength, fragrance match, packaging integrity and heavy metals before the container leaves the loading bay. Your <strong>cat litter manufacturer<\/strong> contract should give you the <em>right<\/em> to reject the batch and trigger a re-run at supplier cost.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"moq-rules\">MOQ rules for OEM cat litter<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Order type<\/th>\n<th>Minimum order<\/th>\n<th>Notes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Stock substrate + stock fragrance + your artwork<\/td>\n<td>1 \u00d7 20FT (\u2248 18\u201322 MT)<\/td>\n<td>Fastest (\u2264 20 days).
