How to Source Air Bar Stark Lite: OEM and ODM Programs
Published 2026 · VapeWholesaleHub trade desk
OEM and ODM programs let a distributor turn Stark Lite into a house brand rather than a commodity line.
Buyers who treat oem and odm programs as a commercial discipline rather than an afterthought tend to hold margin for longer.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Stark Lite.
Why oem and odm programs matters on the Stark Lite
ODM suits buyers with a fixed specification; OEM suits those starting from an existing platform.
Documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; on oem and odm programs it is the difference between a clean clearance and a delayed one.
Tooling, artwork and certification lead times should be planned at least a quarter ahead.
