Details

Initial Inquiry and Product Details

First-time customers interested in OEM/ODM soap production with SOVARUNE should begin by providing essential product details. These include the desired soap type (e.g., hot process, cold process, shampoo bars), size and shape, weight in grams, expected functions, fragrance preferences, and the required quantity. This information helps SOVARUNE tailor the production process to meet specific needs.

Quotation and Contract Agreement

Once the product details are confirmed, SOVARUNE will provide a detailed quotation. If the customer agrees to the pricing and services, a Proforma Invoice (PI) contract will be issued. This document outlines the agreed terms and serves as the basis for further collaboration.

Sampling and Confirmation

Customers can choose sampling to review the soap before bulk production. For custom bare-soap samples, the fee is CNY 200 and is fully credited toward a subsequent bulk order. Bare-soap sampling normally takes approximately 7–10 days, and the finished samples are sent to the customer or their freight forwarder for review. Confirm your sample requirements before proceeding; combined soap, color-box and label sampling is a separate option with a confirmed CNY 1000 sample fee.

Bulk Production and Payment Terms

After sample approval, customers are required to pay a deposit, as agreed upon in the contract, to initiate bulk production. The exact deposit amount is determined through mutual agreement. SOVARUNE then begins manufacturing the soaps according to the confirmed specifications.

Final Payment and Delivery

Once production is complete, customers settle the remaining balance before shipment. SOVARUNE packs the goods and adds carton shipping marks. Depending on the agreed delivery arrangement, the goods can be sent to the customer's designated freight forwarder, or CIF or DDP terms can be arranged for the order.
