FAQs about product design, development, engineering, factory sourcing, manufacturing, and more.

What does Klugonyx do?

We help brands turn product ideas into reality by providing design, engineering, factory sourcing, and manufacturing management under one roof.

Why should I work with Klugonyx instead of directly with a factory?

Factories focus on production. Klugonyx ensures your product is designed correctly, engineered for scale, manufactured at the right factory, and backed by strong agreements and QC.

How long does it take to have a final design and direction created?

Typically 4-6 weeks but each project varies slightly.

How much does it cost to design a product?

Costs to design a product range depending on the complexity of the idea, the number of parts and components, and how thought out your idea is when beginning this process with us.  Costs typically range from $4,000 - $15,000+ to complete the design process.

Who owns the right to the designs once completed?

You do! We are a work for hire and everything we develop under your project belongs to you.

Do you patent my design?

We do not legally file patents, but we have several patent attorneys we can refer you to and work with to make sure your design is valid for either a design or utility patent.

How long does the manufacturing take?

Once your order is placed with the factory, typical production timelines are around 30 days depending on product complexity and order quantities.

What are typical minimum order quantities?

MOQs can vary significantly depending on the product type, complexity, and manufacturing country, but 1000 - 3000 units is pretty standard.

How do I keep my ideas safe when manufacturing overseas?

Our factories sign confidentiality and non-compete agreements prior to seeing any details about your project. All of our factories are currently being used for our existing clients’ production; therefore, they have already been audited and vetted.

Can you help manufacture products outside of China?

Yes. We have trusted factory partners around the world including ones in Vietnam, Cambodia, Mexico, and other regions that can help you reduce tariffs, diversify your supply chain, and lower risk.

What are the steps in product design and development?

The process typically includes concept validation, design, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing before launch.

What product categories does Klugonyx specialize in?

While we are well-versed across many product types and industries, our top product specialties include toys & games, baby & children’s products, pet products, outdoor gear, healthcare products, home goods, fitness gear, and apparel & accessories.

What is a tech pack? Why do I need one?

A tech pack (short for technical package) is a detailed document that communicates everything a factory needs to produce your product correctly. It usually includes product drawings, dimensions, materials, colors, construction details, packaging requirements, and quality standards.

Do you only work with established brands?

No! We support emerging startups, mid-sized companies, and global brands with flexible design, engineering, and manufacturing services.

Can Klugonyx help source factories?

Yes! We have a global network of 500+ vetted factories across Asia and the Americas. We match your product with the best factory that balances price, order quantities, and quality needs.

How do I know if my product will be safe for my consumers to use?

We have developed hundreds of products across dozens of product categories and are well-versed with industry standards. We also connect you with product certification agencies that will test and certify your product for safe public distribution and use.

Can you help with prototyping?

Yes! We provide rapid prototypes (product dependent), functional samples, and pre-production runs to validate design, fit, and performance before mass production.

How long does it take to develop a new product start to finish?

Timelines average 6–12 months from concept to production, though simple items can be ready faster and complex products may take longer.

Do you provide factory agreements and quality control?

We create legally binding agreements, on-site quality inspections, and supply chain oversight to protect your brand and ensure reliable production.

Can you work with an idea that’s not fully developed?

Yes! We can start from a sketch, concept, or early prototype and guide it through design, engineering, prototyping, and production.

Do you design and engineer products in-house?

Yes! Our team of industrial designers and engineers develops products that are functional, manufacturable, and ready for scale.

Can you manage the entire manufacturing process?

Yes! We handle everything from samples and molds to production, quality control, packaging, and final delivery.

How do you ensure product quality?

We use on-site inspections, compliance testing, and factory agreements to guarantee products meet your standards.

Do you help with supply chain challenges like tariffs?

Yes! We provide multi-region sourcing strategies in countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, and Mexico to reduce tariffs and risk.

Do you help manage logistics and shipping?

Yes! Klugonyx helps you manage freight booking, customs clearance, and final delivery to your warehouse or fulfillment center. We coordinate with trusted shipping partners to ensure your products move smoothly from factory to destination.
