5 Questions to Ask Before OEMing a Handheld Fan

OEMing a handheld fan looks simple until the first complaint lands. After six years and 10 million units, here are the five questions we tell every new client to ask - of us and of any supplier.

First: where does the battery come from? A cell is 40% of the product cost and 90% of the risk. Ask for the cell brand, UN38.3 certificate and cycle-life data before you negotiate price.

Second: how is noise measured? A 'quiet fan' claim means nothing without a distance and a speed level. We publish dB at 0.5 m for every speed setting, and you should insist on the same.

Third: will the logo survive a summer? Silk print fades in UV, laser engrave does not. Fourth: what is in the box - manual languages, compliance marks, barcode? Fifth: what is the defect-rate history for this exact SKU, not the factory average?

Ask these five and you are ahead of most buyers in this category.
