Core products include zinc alloy coins, enamel badges, acrylic displays, art prints and plush mascots. Stock adaptation starts at 100 units with 3–7 day sampling; custom development runs 500+ units with 15–30 day production.

Stock adaptation or custom development — which is right for you?
Two proven paths. Use stock adaptation for speed and low minimums; use custom development for signature pieces that are exclusively yours.
| Dimension | Stock Adaptation | Custom Development |
|---|---|---|
| MOQ | 100–500 pcs | 500+ pcs |
| Sample time | 3–7 days | 7–15 days |
| Production time | 7–15 days | 15–30 days |
| Tooling / mold fee | None (existing molds) | $80–$300 per design |
| Exclusivity | Shared format, your artwork | Fully exclusive design |
| Best for | Fast restocks, seasonal refreshes, tight budgets | Signature pieces, flagship products, brand identity |
Why work with a factory that also kits — instead of a trading company?
We own our core production lines and coordinate the full material range. That means direct pricing, tighter quality control and one accountable partner.
| Dimension | Korel (Factory + Kitting) | Trading Company |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Direct factory cost, no middleman markup | 15–30% markup on top of factory price |
| Quality control | In-house QC at every production stage, <2% defect rate | Final inspection only, 3–5% typical defect rate |
| Lead time control | Direct scheduling, can prioritize and expedite | Dependent on factory queue, less visibility |
| Multi-material coordination | One PO covers zinc alloy + acrylic + paper + wood + plush | Often sources from multiple factories, coordination overhead |
| Communication | Direct to production team, technical questions answered same day | Goes through account manager, slower technical response |
| Customization depth | Can modify molds, finishes and packaging at source | Limited to what their supplier network offers |
