OEM questions
Practical answers for first enquiries.
Can you develop an insole around our existing shoe?
Yes. The best starting point is the shoe sample, last or available footbed envelope, together with the intended performance brief.
Can branding and retail packaging be customized?
Top-cover print, color, logo treatment and packaging can be included in the development brief. Final options depend on material, process and order quantity.
Do you publish a fixed MOQ?
The supplied workbook contains product-specific commercial terms, but this website does not publish a universal MOQ because tooling, materials and packaging can change the viable quantity. Ask for a program-specific quotation.
Can regulated or medical claims be supplied?
Any health, antimicrobial or medical claim must be matched to the final material, test evidence and rules of the destination market. We do not treat a catalogue statement as automatic regulatory approval.
