Businesses can enter into numerous types of manufacturing agreements. However, a few of them are more common than others in the industry.
In private-label manufacturing agreements, manufacturers produce a finished product based on the design specs of a client. Once the product is finished, it is typically ready for retail and is delivered to a store or retail storage spot. This type of agreement works best for businesses that need no design input from the manufacturer.
As the name implies, the manufacture of individual components involves manufacturers responsible for the production of one component or part among many others for a certain product.
End-to-end manufacturing agreements have manufacturers producing the entire product, similar to private-label manufacturing. The difference between the two is that the manufacturer is much more involved on the design side of things in end-to-end manufacturing.
Manufacturers often subcontract their services to larger, general manufacturers. As such, they are responsible for assembling or creating a portion of a final product. This type of manufacturing service agreement is common with complex products that require specialty labor and tools.
Businesses with little experience in manufacturing and with simple product designs do well choosing end-to-end manufacturing. They get expert guidance from the manufacturer and assurance that the product will be completed in the end. Complexity, however, naturally leads to choosing other types of agreements.

The nature of your desired manufacturing goals will determine much of what is in your manufacturing agreement. With that being said, some elements must be present in all manufacturing agreements for them to be valid. They include:
Other general contract provisions include force majeure and venue clauses, which deal with unforeseeable acts and jurisdictional issues, respectively. But in addition to these basic contract elements, manufacturing agreements also typically have their common provisions.
Some of the provisions manufacturing agreements share regardless of the product include:
A solid manufacturing agreement will also have terms relating to the closing of the agreement, such as signature requirements and effects. There may also be exhibits that further clarify the terms and duties found within the manufacturing agreement.
The bottom line is the contract manufacturing agreement should cover every aspect of the manufacturing process from beginning to end.
A manufacturing agreement is a contract for the production of goods based on certain conditions. Within the terms of every manufacturing contract, there are responsibilities that each party must fulfill. There are also benefits, or considerations, that are given in exchange for the manufacturing services provided.
A manufacturing contract is similar to a law in that the parties are obligated to fulfill the provisions contained therein. Breaches of manufacturing contracts typically lead to losses that the aggrieved party can potentially recuperate.
Yes, absolutely. Hiring a lawyer to read and review a contract is a common and prudent practice to understand your rights and obligations before signing.
To create a manufacturing contract, clearly define the scope, specifications, quantities, delivery terms, pricing, payment terms, quality control, intellectual property rights, confidentiality, termination clauses, liability, and governing law. It is highly recommended to hire a lawyer to draft or review the contract for legal protection.
