ODM (Original Design Manufacturer ) means the brand entrusts products to cosmetic factories to assist in production, but the difference from OEM is that in addition to OEM production, cosmetic factories will also coordinate and manage research and development, color matching suggestions, packaging design, and other processes according to customer needs.
