This article walks through the workflow with the same template Cat Global runs for its OEM partners.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1 \u2014 Brief and Quote (24 hours)<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The buyer sends a brief covering: target SKU matrix (substrate, granule size, scent options), pack size (5L \/ 6L \/ 8L \/ 10L retail or 5kg \/ 10kg \/ 20kg wholesale), target market (which destination port), estimated volume (1 trial ton vs. 20FT vs. 40HC), and any compliance notes (ANVISA labelling for Brazil, GCC conformity for Saudi Arabia, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>A professional <strong>oem tofu cat litter manufacturer<\/strong> replies within 24 hours with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Per-ton FOB Dalian quote (broken down by substrate, granule, and scent)<\/li>\n<li>CIF \/ DDP quoted per lane on request<\/li>\n<li>Sample-shipping plan (5\u201310 kg, free, freight collect)<\/li>\n<li>Lead-time estimate (typically 18\u201322 days from deposit to ETD)<\/li>\n<li>Proforma Invoice draft with payment terms (T\/T 30\/70 standard)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cost benchmark (2026)<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Component<\/th>\n<th>Typical OEM Add-on<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Substrate (pure soybean residue)<\/td>\n<td>FOB Dalian baseline<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Custom granule profile (e.g. 2.0mm strip)<\/td>\n<td>+5\u20138% for low-volume \/ no add-on at 20FT scale<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Custom scent profile (per SKU)<\/td>\n<td>+3\u20135% for fragrance stock \/ +8\u201312% for bespoke blend<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Custom pack size<\/td>\n<td>+USD 0.10\u20130.30 per pack at 20FT volume<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Artwork \/ pre-press \/ regulatory review<\/td>\n<td>FREE on qualifying OEM programs (Cat Global standard)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"callout\">\u26a0 <strong>Watch-out:<\/strong> If your quote doesn&#8217;t break down these components, the supplier is aggregating \u2014 meaning they may not be the actual factory.

Cat Global recommends the buyer run the test in their own QA lab, not rely on supplier-side testing alone.<\/p>\n<h3>1-ton trial option<\/h3>\n<p>New OEM partners can place a <strong>1-ton (1,000 kg) trial order<\/strong> at the same per-ton pricing structure as a full container \u2014 this lets you test the market with real production-batch quality before committing to a full 20FT run. Trial orders ship within 15 days of deposit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3 \u2014 Design and Compliance (7\u201310 days)<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Once the sample is approved, the artwork lock + compliance pass runs in parallel. For partners using Cat Global&#8217;s free design service, the deliverable is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Artwork file<\/strong> in print-ready format (Adobe Illustrator, PDF\/X-4, or CDR)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Per-market compliance pass<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>Brazil: ANVISA labelling (Portuguese, batch number, expiry, manufacturer address)<\/li>\n<li>Saudi Arabia \/ UAE: GSO Gulf Standard + GCC conformity mark<\/li>\n<li>Philippines: FDA registration reference on pack<\/li>\n<li>EU markets: REACH compliance + biodegradability claim documentation<\/li>\n<li>Australia \/ NZ: bilingual EN label artwork on request<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pre-press proof<\/strong> for buyer sign-off (typically 2 rounds of revision)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Step 4 \u2014 Produce and QC (15\u201320 days)<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Production runs on a dedicated line reserved for the partner&#8217;s brand. The OEM partner receives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Weekly production updates<\/strong> from the dedicated account manager<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pre-shipment SGS test report<\/strong> covering the actual production batch (dust, heavy metals, water absorption, biodegradability, clumping strength)<\/li>\n<li><strong>COA + MSDS<\/strong> attached to the lot<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pack-out photos<\/strong> showing batch number, production date, and palletization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Quality control at this step<\/h3>\n<p>Cat Global runs &lt;3.0% dust post-extraction, 3-second clumping, 290\u2013480 g\/cm\u00b2 clump strength, and 88\u201392% deodorization on every batch \u2014 verified by SGS third-party testing. Any batch that misses spec is held at the factory and not loaded; the partner gets a fresh batch at no charge.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Step 5 \u2014 Ship and Document (\u226420 days total from deposit)<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Container is loaded at Dalian.
