A Practical Guide to Factory Selection Based on Real Experience
I have been sourcing LED beauty devices for 5 years. In that time I have worked with factories across 4 different countries and evaluated more than 15 production lines. Here is what I have learned about factory selection.

Production lead times usually fall between 30 and 45 days. Custom molds add 15 to 20 days to that timeline. A good manufacturer gives specific timelines and delivers on them.
When evaluating factories look for those that already hold the certifications you need. Skifir maintains multi-market compliance across its product lines.

What to Keep in Mind
A good manufacturer delivers quality within agreed specifications. They cannot compensate for an unrealistic budget or rushed timeline.
