What is a Manufacturing Contract?

Once you've developed a product, a manufacturer brings it to life. A manufacturing contract establishes the service agreement between a product developer and manufacturer. The contract will cover details such as unique product specifications, order numbers, inventory details and payments. With a signed manufacturing contract in place, your product will be ready to market in no time.

When to use a Manufacturing Contract:

  • Your business is ready to market a product and you want to hire a manufacturer to produce it.
  • You're a manufacturer and need a business agreement for a manufacturing project.
