Shape and dieline
Pads, lounges, houses, posts, and trees. OEM starts from your drawing. ODM can start from an in-house mold. The dieline is sampled before the official sample.

Custom service
Petaful manufactures corrugated cat scratchers for brands, retailers, importers, distributors, and wholesale programs. Start with your drawing, adapt an in-house structure, or repeat an approved item.
Services overview
Use OEM when the structure is already drawn. Use ODM when you need to begin with a factory-held structure. Both routes require sample approval before bulk production.

The available files, sample status, packing requirements, and quantity range determine the route. Minimums and pricing are confirmed for the specific build.
| Path | What you send | Sample | Production window | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OEM: your drawing | Drawings or print-ready artwork in PDF, AI, or EPS | Structure sample, then the official sample counted from artwork | 30–45 days after sample sign-off, including logistics | Brands that already have a proven structure |
| ODM: our mold | Market idea, artwork, and which mold to start from | Official sample counted from artwork agreement | 45–60 days after sample sign-off, including logistics | Buyers who want a private-label launch without a new drawing set |
| Wholesale: an approved reorder | SKU, carton marks, barcodes, and destination | Confirmed with the reorder | 30–45 days after the reorder is confirmed, including logistics | Repeat orders for brand, retail, and distributor programs |
Complex projects may add 10–15 days. Send the structure, print, pack, and quantity range for a project-specific minimum. Catalog reorders follow the approved sample. Browse the catalog
What we customize
The structure, board density, printable area, edge finish, assembly, and packing are reviewed for each item before the official sample is approved.





A new dieline, artwork change, or packing change can require a new approval. When no drawing exists, begin with a suitable factory-held structure and confirm the permitted adjustments before sampling.
Customization at a glance
Pads, lounges, houses, posts, and trees. OEM starts from your drawing. ODM can start from an in-house mold. The dieline is sampled before the official sample.
Send PDF, AI, or EPS. A seasonal run can keep the proven inner scratch pads and change only the outer Christmas print.
High-density BC-flute for lounges and houses. B-flute for pads and cores. E-flute when the face has to carry fine print.
Flat or nested when the structure allows. Carton marks, barcodes, and retail inserts are packed with the order.
OEM / ODM capabilities

Share the idea, the target market, and a budget. We match a workable structure before sampling.

A physical sample is free for new partners. The official sample is counted from the day structure and artwork are set.
FREE
After you sign the sample, bulk to your drawing is usually 30–45 days. A run from an in-house mold is usually 45–60 days, including logistics.

IQC, IPQC, and FQC run before shipment. Carton marks, barcodes, and retail inserts leave the factory under EXW, FOB, or DDP.
From sketch to packed carton on the factory floor. Complex projects add a 10–15 day buffer on top of the windows in the cards.
Core advantages
Before you brief us
Short answers buyers copy into a sourcing note. The first sentence of each answer is the conclusion.
Start with OEM when you already have a drawing or a print-ready file. Start with ODM when you want an in-house mold and your artwork on it. A repeat of an approved piece is a reorder. The two paths are on OEM and ODM.
Yes. OEM starts with a structure sample. After the structure and artwork are agreed, the official sample is usually ready in 5–7 days, and it is free for new customers. Bulk waits for your approval. Ask from contact.
Plan from the structure, the print, and the pack. Petaful supports a small trial and then mass production, and sales confirms the run before the line starts. Send the shape via contact.
Send a sketch or a print-ready file, the market, and a budget if you have one. With no drawing, pick a mold Petaful already runs and the structure is adjusted before sampling. Send that to sales.
OEM, built to your specification, is usually 30–45 days including logistics. ODM, from a mold already on the floor, is usually 45–60 days including logistics. A complex job adds 10–15 days. The official sample is usually 5–7 days after the art is agreed. Compare them on OEM and ODM.
Yes. Petaful can sign an NDA before the files move, and your artwork stays with your program. Once the structure is set, send PDF, AI, or EPS. That is covered on OEM service.
The press uses PDF, AI, and EPS. A sharp PNG or JPG is enough to start the conversation. The final file is confirmed after the structure is fixed, so print is not laid on a dieline that is still moving. File notes are on OEM service.
A repeat of a structure you have already approved. The usual window is 30–45 days. Send the SKU, the carton marks, and the destination. See OEM and ODM.
