Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
OEM and ODM programs let a distributor turn Starre Lite into a house brand rather than a commodity line.
Between the factory gate and the retail shelf, oem and odm programs is where most of the value on the Starre Lite is either created or lost.
Keeping a short internal note on oem and odm programs for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Starre Lite.

In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Starre Lite.
