OEM & ODM Custom Manufacturing for PVC & WPC Panels

OEM & ODM Overview

 

Hangzhou Chitu operates dedicated extrusion and multi-layer lamination lines for custom PVC foam boards, WPC panels, and laminated sheets. Production parameters are adjusted directly at the extruder die head and calibration table to match specific structural, mechanical, and visual requirements. Operations support full-scale contract manufacturing, private-label packaging, and proprietary polymer formulations tailored to regional regulatory and mechanical performance standards. 

 

Customization Options

 

Polymer Formulation:

Adjustments for UV stabilization, anti-yellowing agents, or specific flame-retardant ratings (UL94-V0, DIN 4102 B1).

01

Core Structure:

Free-foam PVC, Celuka rigid-skin PVC, wood-plastic composite (WPC), or co-extruded multi-layer structures.

02

Dimensional Customization:

Non-standard widths, cut-to-length options, and strict thickness tolerances managed via inline thickness scanning.

03

Surface Treatments:

High-gloss, matte, embossed, or structured finishes applied via hot-melt lamination or co-extrusion.

Size, Thickness & Density

 

Parameter Specification Range Industrial Application Focus
Thickness 1mm - 30mm Thin gauges for signage; thick gauges (15mm+) for cabinetry & structural cores
Standard Widths 915mm, 1220mm, 1560mm, 2050mm Optimized for CNC cutting and minimal scrap generation
Standard Lengths 2440mm, 3050mm, 3050mm+ (Custom cut-to-length) Containerized shipping optimization
Density 0.35 g/cm3 - 0.90 g/cm3 Low density (0.35-0.50) for lightweight signage; High density (0.60-0.90) for high screw-retention cabinetry

 

Lamination & Co-Extrusion

 

PUR Hot-Melt Lamination:

Continuous roller application utilizing polyurethane reactive adhesives resistant to thermal fluctuations and high humidity, exceeding standard EVA adhesive bond strength.

Co-Extrusion Technology:

Fuses a rigid, smooth solid PVC skin layer simultaneously with a lightweight cellular core during extrusion, producing a pinhole-free outer shell optimized for direct digital printing, painting, or routing.

 

Packaging & Branding

 

 

Surface Protection:

Low-tack PE protective masking film applied to single or both sides to prevent scratching during handling and CNC routing. Laser-safe films available.

 

Palletization:

Fumigation-free wooden pallets or heavy-duty corrugated export boxes secured with edge protectors and moisture barriers.

 

Private Labeling:

Custom printed protective film featuring corporate logos, barcode labeling, and customized carton marking for wholesale distribution.

 

 

OEM & ODM Process

Specification & RFQ Evaluation:

Technical review of drawings, density targets, fire ratings, and volume projections.


Laboratory Formulation & Sample Approval:

Sample extrusion and physical testing (density, screw-holding, peel strength) shipped for verification.

Tooling & Setup Confirmation:

Final sign-off on extrusion dies, embossed roller textures, and custom color chips.

Mass Production & Inline QC:

Automated extrusion monitoring with continuous gauge and density checks.

Final Inspection & Container Loading:

Pre-shipment inspection (PSI) reports covering dimensional accuracy, squareness, and packaging integrity.

 

Custom Manufacturing & Quality Control

Density & Hardness Testing:

Regular checks using densitometers and Shore D durometers to verify structural integrity.

 

Screw Withdrawal Resistance Test:

Evaluated according to ASTM standards to ensure cabinet hinges and fasteners maintain secure grip over time.

Thermal Dimensional Stability Test:

Panels undergo heat-exposure testing in chambers to monitor linear expansion and warping tendencies.

Peel Strength Testing:

T-peel testing for laminated boards to guarantee adhesive bond durability under high-humidity conditions.

 

Custom Project Support
CAD/Nest Optimization:
Assistance in sizing panels to minimize raw material waste during automated CNC processing.
Regulatory Compliance Documentation:
Provision of REACH, RoHS, CE, and fire-test certificates (UL94/B1) matching destination market mandates.
Supply Chain Synchronization:
Flexible production scheduling and buffer inventory management for recurring contract orders.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: What is the standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom OEM orders?

A: MOQs vary based on formulations, custom thicknesses, or unique color runs. Standard production typically requires one 20ft container (20'GP) to optimize extrusion setup costs. Trial orders with flexible parameters can be evaluated case-by-case.

Q: Can you match a specific Pantone or physical color sample?

A: Yes. Color matching utilizes masterbatch compounding, followed by physical samples sent for visual and spectrophotometer verification prior to full-scale extrusion.

Q: What is the lead time for new OEM product development?

A: Initial sample formulation and physical delivery take 7 to 10 days. Mass production for approved custom orders requires 25 to 30 days from deposit receipt and final artwork approval.

Q: How do you prevent laminated boards from warping during transit or storage?

A: Warping is mitigated by symmetric layer application, high-grade PUR adhesives, and strict cooling tunnel parameters post-extrusion. Pallets must be stored flat in climate-controlled environments upon arrival.

Q: What payment terms are accepted for custom manufacturing contracts?

A: Standard terms require a 30% deposit via T/T upon order confirmation, with the remaining 70% balance settled against copies of the Bill of Lading or following third-party inspection.
