Jig Head OEM Supplier in China
Jig head OEM is specification-sensitive. Head shape, weight, hook size, coating, keeper, eye position and accessory parts can all change cost, tooling and production route.
Typical production flow
The exact process depends on the confirmed sample and product structure, but this flow helps buyers understand what normally happens before goods are ready for export.
Confirm hook model, head shape, weight range, eyelet, keeper, blade or weed guard requirement.
Cast or form the head according to confirmed mold and hook setup.
Remove burrs, clean surface and prepare coating or painting.
Apply powder coat, paint, eyes, blades, skirts or other components if required.
Check weight, hook alignment, coating, pack count and carton protection.
What the buyer should prepare
Prepare head shape, hook model, weight range, coating requirement, eye or blade requirement, packaging count and target market. Send a physical sample if the head shape or hook position is critical.
- Reference sample, product photo, drawing or catalog code.
- Target size, weight, material, finish and key function requirement.
- Expected quantity, reorder plan and target market.
- Packaging idea: bulk, bag, header card, blister, box or private label.
- Any compliance, warning text, barcode or country-of-origin requirement.
Buyer preparation note
For function-sensitive items, a physical sample is usually better than only a photo. It helps confirm feel, size, finish and function before price comparison.
What may need time or extra cost before bulk production
Jig head cost is affected by mold status, hook selection, lead weight, coating/painting, eyes, blades, skirts, weed guards, packaging and weight tolerance requirement.
Sample work
Existing samples are usually faster. Modified or new designs may need sample making, adjustment and re-confirmation.
Tooling / mold
New shapes, new cavities or exclusive structures may require tooling cost and a mold sample before production.
Packaging setup
Printed bags, blister cards, insert cards, labels and boxes may have artwork, printing plate or MOQ requirements.
Testing / compliance
Some markets or buyers may require strength, coating, material or labeling review before shipment.
Common packaging styles
Common packaging includes bulk bags, small PE bags, header cards and blister cards. Hook protection and pack count should be considered early.
Packaging cost note
Product MOQ and packaging MOQ are not always the same. Printed packaging should be discussed early, especially for small first orders or many SKU colors/sizes.
Typical timing before mass production
Existing molds can move quickly. New head shapes require mold discussion, mold sample and possible adjustment before bulk production.
| Stage | Typical purpose | Time note |
|---|---|---|
| Project review | Confirm product type, route and missing details. | Usually a few working days after complete information is received. |
| Quotation & sample plan | Review cost factors, MOQ, sample route and packaging. | Faster for standard products; longer for new development. |
| Sample / mold sample | Confirm structure, function, color, finish and packaging direction. | Existing product samples are faster; tooling projects need more time. |
| Packaging approval | Confirm artwork, barcode, warning text, pack count and carton marks. | Should run in parallel with product preparation where possible. |
QC focus for this category
Check hook alignment, weight tolerance, coating coverage, burrs, eyelet position, accessory assembly and packaging accuracy.
Common mistake to avoid
Do not approve price only from a product name. Confirm sample, specification and packaging before mass production; otherwise small details can create retail complaints or shipment delays.
