Detailed explanation of the OEM & ODM slipper customization process

A successful slipper product, from concept to market, is not a one-time process. Deran has formed a set of efficient, transparent, professional and reliable customization processes over the years to ensure that every customer’s creativity can be accurately implemented.

Project consultation and demand communication
The customer provides a preliminary product concept or reference diagram, and the Deran sales and design team assists the customer in clarifying the product direction, including usage scenarios, target markets, budget ranges, etc., to lay the foundation for subsequent customization.

Material recommendation and design plan
Depending on the product type and usage requirements, Deran will recommend suitable materials (such as EVA lightweight foam, PVC anti-slip material, rubber outsole, etc.) and structural processes. The design team draws renderings, 3D models, and even visual videos according to customer needs.

Proofing and mold development
After the customer confirms the plan, Deran’s internal sample center can complete the initial sample within 3-5 days, and conduct trial testing and appearance optimization. After confirming the sample, if mold opening is required, the exclusive production mold will be made by its own mold workshop to ensure mass production accuracy.

Production scheduling and quality control
After the mold is completed, it enters the mass production stage. Deran’s intelligent injection molding machine and pressing assembly line can efficiently complete mass production. The QC department follows up the whole process. From raw materials, semi-finished products to finished products, there are strict sampling and functional testing mechanisms to ensure product stability and consistency.

Packaging and delivery logistics
Color boxes, OPP bags, environmentally friendly packaging and other forms can be customized according to customer requirements, and labeling, packing, code sheet printing and other services are supported. Deran has many years of foreign trade experience and can assist in arranging one-stop logistics distribution by sea, air and express.

What details should be paid attention to when customizing slippers?

Many brands tend to overlook some key details when customizing slippers for the first time, and these details often directly affect the quality of the final product and market acceptance. Deran summarizes the following practical suggestions based on years of experience:

Material selection should match the purpose:

• Home slippers recommend EVA + soft suede
• Beach slippers are suitable for waterproof PVC or TPR outsole
• Business simple models can use PU leather + composite insole

The pattern of the sole mold determines the anti-slip effect: The pattern depth and structure of the mold determine the friction of the shoe on the ground, especially the outdoor style, which needs to focus on evaluating and testing the anti-slip level.

Color matching needs to consider batch stability: Although bright colors attract attention, the source of dyes and batch stability should be considered to avoid serious color differences between different batches.

Packaging structure affects freight costs: Customized color boxes enhance product image, but also increase volume and weight. It is recommended to choose a reasonable packaging form according to the sales scenario.

International certification needs to be prepared in advance: If you need to enter the European and American markets, you should consider material safety certification requirements such as REACH, CPSIA, and CA65. Deran can assist in providing corresponding test reports.

Customer success story: How to create a hit slipper product through Deran

Take a British lifestyle brand as an example. Before choosing Deran, the brand tried several small manufacturers and could not solve the problems of product stability and delivery time. After cooperating with Deran, Deran redesigned the EVA slipper mold for it and recommended matching it with a shoe last structure suitable for European feet. At the same time, it optimized the packaging and enhanced the brand sense.

In the first month of launch, the series sold more than 15,000 pairs on the British e-commerce platform, ranking among the top 3 in the category. In the second quarter, the company added a customized series of flip-flops and Crocs, and expanded to the French and German markets in the third quarter. Deran became its strategic cooperation factory, and new products will be jointly developed every quarter.
