For many companies planning to launch their own personal lubricant brand, product R&D and initial investment represent a significant expense. From formula debugging and sample production to packaging design, every step requires capital and time.
If a partner could offer completely free sampling and design services, how much cost could it actually save brand owners? PINGCHUANG MEDICAL can help you do the detailed math.
Developing a new formula from scratch might involve multiple rounds of raw material screening, ratio adjustments, stability testing, and small-batch trial production. The salaries of R&D personnel, raw material wastage, and testing equipment depreciation can accumulate to tens or even hundreds of thousands of RMB. Even for minor adjustments based on existing formulas, the material, labor, and testing costs for each sample, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand RMB, can add up to a considerable sum after several iterations.
An eye-catching packaging design that aligns with brand positioning is crucial for a product to stand out on the shelves. Hiring a professional design company or independent designer for creative conception, sketching, rendering, and finalization based on product characteristics, target audience, and brand philosophy can cost anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands of RMB in the market, with high-end designs being even pricier. If this service is also free, it undoubtedly saves the brand another significant budget.
Then there are the hidden time costs and opportunity costs. Free sampling and design services usually mean the partner has mature processes and an efficient team, capable of quickly responding to brand needs. For example, if sampling can be completed within 1-2 working days, brand owners can confirm product direction faster, shorten the product launch cycle, and thus seize market opportunities. The value of time saved due to increased efficiency and the resulting market opportunities are often difficult to measure directly in monetary terms, but their value may far exceed direct fee reductions.
PINGCHUANG MEDICAL is committed to lowering the innovation threshold for brands. We offer a full-process free service: free packaging design, free sampling, completed as fast as 1 working day. Coupled with free authorization of medical device and international certification qualifications, this can save an average of up to one million RMB in R&D and design costs per project, helping brands quickly launch their own lubricant brands with zero factory investment.
