Most retailers and brands arrive with a CAD, a reference photo and a target price. In new product development for home decor, the useful question is what has to change to land at the target. Here is how we pre-quote a development.
We send back a short written brief: what we understood, the bead, glass or metal reference we propose, and the open questions. As a custom home decor manufacturer in India, we handle the whole path from a sketch to a sampled, costed and tested product.
Before sampling, you receive a sheet that shows where cost sits: material, labour, decoration, packing, testing. If a design lands above target we tell you plainly which lever moves the price (size, construction, spacing, material, packing) and by how much, and what it does to the look.
Moulds and colours can be shared across styles. A mould shared across several sizes cuts total investment, and mould cost can be shared across styles, with tooling credited back against follow-on orders. Private label home decor programmes benefit most, because the same tooling serves several colours and sizes.
When several styles share material, finish and process, we can price EU food-contact and REACH testing on one style and self-attest the rest, with an option to test every style if your compliance team needs it. Packaging, labelling and carton specs are quoted at the same time, so a REACH compliant home decor programme does not surprise you at landing.
A typical development moves through five stages: the brief, a rough cost sheet with the alternatives, an approved cost direction, samples for your approval, and then production with packing and testing to your specification. Because the cost sheet comes before the sample, you decide on price and look together, and we avoid sampling something that cannot reach your target.
We start sampling only after the cost direction is agreed, and give you a ready date to plan against. Samples are photographed for approval before they ship.
The faster we can quote, the more complete the brief. Send a sketch, a CAD or a reference sample, the quantity you expect per style, your target price, your delivery window, and any packaging, labelling or testing requirements. If you do not know the target price yet, say so and we will show a range with the trade-offs.
Yes. A sketch, a photo, a CAD or a reference sample is enough to start.
Yes. Branding, packaging and labels are part of the quote.
A reference, a target price and quantity, and your delivery window. We tell you what is possible and what needs to change.
By showing the cost sheet before sampling and offering alternatives for the biggest drivers.
