1. How do you specify a screen protector OEM order before asking for a price?
For a US private-label buyer, confirm MOQ per model and packaging configuration, compare packed-unit prices with setup charges listed separately, and count production time from the agreed approval and payment milestone. No single OEM unit price or delivered lead time applies to every specification. Send a SKU matrix and delivery ZIP code to obtain an order-specific quote.
A useful screen protector OEM quote starts with what changes, how many units you need for each device, and what goes inside each pack. “Our logo on 5,000 protectors” leaves too much open: the supplier may be pricing a stock product in a sleeve while you are budgeting for a new shape, installation frame and printed retail box.
For a US repair chain or accessory brand launching its first private-label range, start by separating an existing product with branding from a product that needs development. Supplier definitions of OEM and ODM vary; list the required changes so the label cannot hide a difference in scope.
| Order scope | What stays established | What the quote must identify |
|---|---|---|
| Existing product, private label | Approved material, device shape and manufacturing process | Logo location, sleeve or box, printed instructions, barcode labels and pack contents |
| Existing material, new shape or kit | A selected material or product platform | Drawing revision, cutting program or tooling, cutouts, alignment accessory and sample charges |
| New structure or material requirement | Only the agreed starting brief | Development work, material availability, validation steps, tooling and separate sample and production schedules |
Include the exact device model and generation, product type, material or supplier item code, finish, quantity per SKU, pack quantity, required accessories and delivery ZIP code. If the material is undecided, request two named configurations with separate prices rather than an unspecified “premium” option. JJT’s wholesale product overview can help you select the product family for that brief.
For a tempered-glass brief, review JJT’s OEM and wholesale program, then use the current tempered-glass collection to choose a device family and finish. For an iPhone range, compare the HD Clear and Privacy product specifications and ordering conditions before building your SKU matrix.
2. Read MOQ at the Model, Material and Packaging Levels
A screen protector OEM MOQ is the minimum for a defined configuration, not automatically the total on your purchase order. Ten device models at 300 pieces each do not necessarily satisfy a 3,000-piece minimum per model. Changing from clear to privacy, or from a single pack to a two-pack, can also create separate quote lines.
Build a SKU matrix with one row per device, material/finish and pack configuration. Then add three supplier-confirmed columns: product MOQ, print-run MOQ per artwork, and accessory or packaging MOQ. A shared box design with model-specific labels may reduce the number of print versions, but it does not automatically combine different product minimums.
- Model: Is the shape already available, and is the minimum per model or across an approved mix?
- Material and finish: Can the same material run serve multiple models, or does your finish require a separate batch?
- Packaging design: Is the minimum per box size, artwork version or total printed quantity? Who owns and stores unused packaging?
Published supplier offers show why a universal “OEM MOQ” is misleading. HANGMO’s trade terms list 1,000 pieces per model/SKU for its soft-film program, with mixed orders negotiable. CustomScreenProtectors.com’s MOQ guide describes a 100-unit floor for established specifications using standard glass or PET, while excluding some novel shapes and specialized materials from that floor. These are separate supplier offers, checked October 12, 2026; neither is a JJT minimum or an industry price benchmark.
If your forecast cannot support the quoted minimum, request an existing product with simpler packaging, a smaller initial model list, or a separately priced pilot run. Compare the cash committed to stock you can sell—not only the lowest unit price.
3. Separate One-Time Charges from the Packed Unit Price
For a screen protector OEM quote, ask for a packed-unit price and a separate list of setup charges. Product cost, retail packaging, cleaning kit, alignment tool, labeling and packing labor should each be included or explicitly excluded. A low bare-product quote cannot be compared directly with a ready-to-sell kit.
| Line item | Record before approving | Repeat-order question |
|---|---|---|
| Packed goods | USD per pack; pieces per pack; named material and all included items; quantity by SKU | Does the same specification retain its price tier at a smaller reorder? |
| Development and tooling | Charge by drawing, shape or tool; ownership; revision allowance; whether already included in unit price | Is the charge removed, retained or charged again when the device or drawing changes? |
| Artwork and printing setup | Charge by artwork/version; proof method; extra packaging quantity and storage terms | Can unchanged artwork and stored packaging be reused, and for how long? |
| Samples | Product sample, branded sample, packaging proof and courier charges; any credit conditions | Does a new material or artwork revision require another charged sample? |
| Delivery | Named shipping term and place, freight method, destination and excluded costs | Will carton size, shipment quantity or delivery method change the quote? |
For a first-order comparison, calculate goods total + one-time charges + samples and courier + delivery costs within the agreed quote boundary − confirmed credits. Divide that total by the number of sellable packs purchased. If freight or import costs remain unquoted, mark the result as a partial budget rather than a landed cost. Avoid counting a tooling charge twice when it is already amortized into the unit price.
Keep the repeat-order calculation separate. Removing a first-order setup fee does not guarantee that every reorder is cheaper: quantity, raw material, artwork, accessories and freight can change. Ask for first-order and unchanged-reorder prices on the same SKU matrix, with currency and quote validity shown.
3.1 Is an Existing Sample the Same as a Branded Pre-Production Sample?
No. An existing sample can establish a product starting point; it may not include your final print, packaging or kit. JJT’s buyer FAQ lists existing samples as free with buyer-paid shipping, and custom logo or packaging samples as charged with a possible bulk-order credit. Confirm the amount and credit conditions in the quote.
4. When does screen protector OEM production lead time start?
“Production in 10 days” is incomplete until you know when the clock starts and what finishes at the end. Sample dispatch, bulk production completion, shipment departure and arrival at your US warehouse are different milestones. Build the launch date backward from the arrival you need.
JJT’s published buyer FAQ states that samples ship in 3–5 days and mass production typically takes 7–15 days after sample approval and payment are confirmed. Treat those as published starting points for discussion, not a delivered-date promise for a new material, custom structure or packaging development project. The quotation should confirm which sample is being supplied and the production release conditions for your order.
- Scope and quote locked: SKU matrix, pack contents, drawings, artwork and commercial terms have version identifiers.
- Samples and proofs approved: Record the product sample, packaging proof and approved revisions. A digital print proof does not by itself verify the assembled kit.
- Production released: The supplier confirms required payment receipt, approvals, material readiness and the scheduled completion date in writing.
- Goods ready for dispatch: Allow for agreed inspection, packing, documents and any balance-payment release requirement.
- Shipment and arrival: Add the confirmed transport plan and receiving time to the factory schedule.
Set an owner and response deadline for every approval. If you revise the adhesive, cutout, coating, box or pack contents after approval, request a revised schedule and cost before accepting the change. An unchanged order confirmation with a changed sample is a warning that the production basis is no longer clear.
5. Confirm What Happens After Payment—and on the Next Order
After making the agreed payment, obtain a production acknowledgment tied to the final quote and approval versions. A payment receipt alone does not prove that the factory has released the correct SKU mix or reserved a production slot.
- Confirm the quantity for each SKU, material/item code, drawing and artwork revisions, pack contents and carton/model labels.
- Record payment receipt and the production start milestone, planned completion and dispatch dates, and the next progress update.
- Identify any open item. If a material, proof or approval is pending, confirm whether production is on hold and which date will move.
- Resolve a mismatch before authorizing the affected work. Request a corrected acknowledgment rather than relying on a message that says “same as discussed.”
For replenishment, reference the previous order number and approved sample, but attach the current quantities and revisions again. Require written confirmation of any substitution, discontinued item, changed packaging, price or lead time. Clarify whether tooling and surplus printed packaging remain available; a second order is not automatically an unchanged repeat.
Use the manufacturer evaluation guide for sample and production evidence, and the China supplier guide for supplier selection and delivery checks.
