If you import or distribute dental instruments in the United States, selling under your own brand gives you control over your pricing, your packaging and your customer relationships. Medentra Global is a wholesale dental instruments manufacturer and exporter based in Sialkot, Pakistan, that produces instruments for importers and distributors under OEM and private-label terms. This guide explains what private label includes, what the minimum order quantities are, how samples work, and how to start.
What OEM and private label include
Private label means the instruments are manufactured by Medentra Global and supplied under your brand. The OEM/private-label service includes logo etching or logo printing on the instruments, branded packaging carrying your name and artwork, and barcoding so the products fit straight into your inventory and resale systems. You sell under your own name; Medentra Global manufactures to the same specification as its standard wholesale range.
The range you can private label
The current range covers dental instruments across 12 categories: extraction forceps; scalers and curettes; elevators; explorers and probes; orthodontic instruments; endodontic instruments; restorative instruments; mirrors; impression trays; bone files and rongeurs; scissors and needle holders; and sterilisation cassettes. All instruments are made from 420/440 stainless steel, passivated, and autoclavable at 134°C.
Minimum order quantities
Medentra Global’s wholesale minimum order is 50 units per SKU, and OEM/private-label branding is available on orders under these wholesale terms. The one exception is sterilisation cassettes, where the minimum is lower, at 20 units per SKU. These minimums apply per product: each SKU in your order is produced in quantities of 50 units or more (20 for cassettes).
The samples process
Before committing to a full private-label run, you can order samples of 1 to 20 units. Samples let you check the instrument finish, the steel and passivation, the action of hinges and beaks, and how your branding will be applied, before you approve a production order. The usual process is: request samples of the exact SKUs you plan to label, evaluate them when they arrive, and confirm any adjustments before placing the full order.
Logo, packaging and barcoding options
Your logo can be etched or printed on the instruments themselves. Packaging can be produced with your branding, so the product your customers receive carries your name, not the manufacturer’s. Barcoding is also available, which helps distributors who resell through catalogues, warehouses or online channels that require scannable product codes. You supply your logo and artwork; Medentra Global applies them to the instruments and packaging as part of the order.
Lead times and shipping
The standard production lead time is 2 to 4 weeks. Orders are shipped worldwide, mostly by air from Sialkot, with sea freight also available for larger consignments. Most private-label buyers choose air freight for faster turnaround on first orders and repeat orders.
Quality and certification
Medentra Global is ISO 9001 certified. Instruments are manufactured from 420/440 stainless steel and passivated for corrosion resistance, and they are autoclavable at 134°C, so they can be sterilised using standard dental practice autoclave cycles.
