Custom paneles ac\u00fasticos<\/strong><\/a> are standard panel constructions modified to a buyer’s specification: color, dimension, thickness, slat profile, veneer, CNC-cut shape, logo, label and packaging. OEM means building to your drawing; ODM means adapting an existing factory design. What separates suppliers is rarely capability, it is where the quantity threshold sits.<\/p>\n

OEM or ODM: which one are you actually asking for?<\/h2>\n

The two terms get used as a single bullet on most manufacturer pages, and that vagueness costs buyers time during the first quotation round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Most private-label programs that start as “fully custom” end up as ODM with custom color and custom packaging, because that combination protects the certification scope and keeps the quantity threshold low. That is not a downgrade. It is usually the faster route to a sellable range.<\/p>\n

What is genuinely customizable on a panel<\/h2>\n

BEIEN’s<\/a> customization list runs across five layers, and each one carries a different cost and lead-time consequence.<\/p>\n

Color and surface.<\/strong> PET panels are shown in the 2026 catalog as BP-01 through BP-54, with more than 40 standard colors and Pantone or RAL matching for anything outside that set. Wood panels can be specified with natural veneer (oak, walnut, ash, teak, maple, zebra wood, smoke oak), technical veneer across the TBW-01 to TBW-11 range, or a PVC decorative surface (PBW-01 to PBW-06) where moisture and cleaning matter more than grain authenticity. Acoustic felt behind the slats is normally black or grey, and can be changed.<\/p>\n

\"\u00bfLos<\/p>\n

Dimension and thickness.<\/strong> Standard PET sheets are listed at 1220 \u00d7 2420 mm in 9, 12, 15 and 24 mm. Wood slat panels run 2400, 2700 and 3000 mm long \u00d7 605 mm wide at 18 or 21 mm. Cutting outside those figures is possible, but it changes yield per sheet, and yield is what moves your unit price more than the customization fee itself.<\/p>\n

Shape and CNC processing.<\/strong> Engraved V-slot patterns, irregular and circular formats, wave profiles, perforated decorative panels and hexagon formats (roughly 565 \u00d7 489 mm at about 24 mm) are all cut in-house. Stated CNC cutting tolerance is \u00b10.3 mm, which is the number worth writing into your purchase specification, because “precision cutting” on its own is not a checkable term.<\/p>\n

Branding.<\/strong> Logos, labels, private-label cartons and full packaging design. This is the layer with the shortest lead time and the lowest technical risk, and it is where a first-time private-label buyer should start.<\/p>\n

Accessories.<\/strong> Panel-groove LED strips (3000K, 4000K, 6000K; 10 W\/m; 120\u00b0 beam; CRI \u226580; IP67; 24 V; 2400 or 3000 mm lengths), carbon-steel shelves and single, vertical or horizontal hangers. Compatibility for these is stated only with BEIEN panels, so if you are mixing suppliers, treat accessories as a separate sourcing line.<\/p>\n

One honest note on that table: PET sheet width and length appear as 1220 \u00d7 2420 mm in the catalog and as 1220 \u00d7 2440 mm on some product pages, and the PET slat panel range is published with two different specification sets. Ask for the current production drawing rather than quoting a website figure into your own datasheet.<\/p>\n

The misconception that causes the most rework<\/h2>\n

A fire classification belongs to a tested sample, not to a product line. This is the single most common failure point in private-label acoustic panel programs, and it usually surfaces after the goods have shipped.<\/p>\n

BEIEN<\/a>‘s PET fire classification comes from SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., test report SHFS2403000289FF, tested to EN 13501-1:2018, result B-s2,d0. The tested article was a polyester sound-absorbing board, sample BN-002, 100% polyester fiber, 1700 g\/m\u00b2 density, 9 mm thick, 2420 \u00d7 1220 mm.<\/p>\n

Read that list again as a customization checklist. Change the thickness to 12 mm, change the felt density, laminate a veneer onto the face, or engrave a deep V-slot pattern, and you no longer have the tested configuration. The panel may well perform the same. The document does not automatically say so.<\/p>\n

The same scoping logic applies to the other two documents buyers ask for most:<\/p>\n
