Factory & process hub

Source Cup produces reusable menstrual cups and discs on liquid silicone rubber (LSR) lines sized for brand launches through multi-SKU distributor programs. Catalog geometries ship with logo and pack options; exclusive shapes use staged mold development.

Buyers typically validate: tooling ownership, hardness/color options, capacity bands, stem or rim variants, accessory kitting (sterilizer, pouch), and export carton standards. Browse SKUs on cups and discs, then request samples with your target markets.

We mold platinum-cured medical LSR selected for prolonged mucosal contact — with incoming checks, lot COAs, and pigment systems kept inside approved families. Material changes trigger change control and re-validation before bulk release.

OEM buyers can specify shore tiers, translucent or pigmented finishes, and branding constraints. Pair material evidence with the certifications hub for biocompatibility and chemical documentation indexes.

1. Brief & RFQ — SKU, volume, markets, branding, compliance tier.
2. Sample / FAI — catalog or pilot samples with measurable specs.
3. PO & materials — silicone lots released to production travelers.
4. Molding & post-cure — LSR cells with controlled post-cure profiles.
5. Trim, wash, inspect — in-process dimensional and visual checks.
6. Pack & release — AQL finish, lot COA, export docs, ship.

Catalog samples often ship in 7–14 days; bulk OEM commonly 25–45 days after PO, packaging approval, and deposit — seasonality and custom molds extend timelines.

Multi-stage QC covers incoming material, in-process sampling, functional checks (seal, stem integrity, disc rim flex as applicable), final visual/dimensional AQL, and batch release with retained samples per QMS retention rules.

Lab support includes dimensional verification, mechanical spot checks, and coordination of third-party panels for brand technical files. Field returns feed CAPA. For certificate-facing evidence, use certifications.

Cup and disc molding runs under controlled cleanliness, gowning, and handling rules appropriate for intimate silicone devices — filtration, area discipline, and lot segregation reduce particulate and mix-up risk.

Audit visitors can review environmental practices, area maps, and training records as part of supplier qualification.

Serious OEM partners may schedule on-site tours or structured video walkthroughs. Prepare: quality questionnaire, target SKUs, annual volume, and required document list (ISO scope, test indexes, sample COAs).

After the visit, most buyers lock a pilot PO on catalog geometry or custom packaging before exclusive molds. Start with the inquiry form or map commercial options on the OEM hub.
