OEM & ODM options: colours, laser marking, ROM ranges, packaging
Exactly what can be customised on a Touch Memory key and what each option costs you in MOQ and lead time — housing colours, your logo, reserved ID ranges, fob assembly and retail packaging.
| Type | Device type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Housing colour | Twelve POM colours held in stock — brown, purple, teal, peach, green, orange, yellow, blue, light blue, grey, black, red. Estates and employers use them to colour-code by building, floor or department. | No extra cost, no extra lead time |
| Custom colour | A colour outside the stock twelve means a dedicated material batch. Send a Pantone reference and we match it. | Volume order; allow extra lead time |
| Laser marking / logo | Your logo and text are lasered onto the stainless lid, alongside or in place of the standard marking. Vector artwork is required — a bitmap logo will not laser cleanly at this size. | One-off setup, then no per-unit cost |
| Reserved ID range | We allocate a serial-number block to you so no two batches collide on the same site. For any estate rolled out over several orders this is not optional — duplicate IDs mean two flats opening each other’s door. | Free; must be agreed before the first batch |
| Fob assembly | Buttons pressed into fobs at our factory, shipped ready to issue. The alternative is your staff doing it by hand at destination, which costs more than the assembly itself. | Free of charge |
| Packaging | Bulk ESD bags for installers; blister or header cards for retail counters and marketplaces. Standard is 100 pcs per ESD bag, 2 bags per box. | Retail packaging is a tooling item — ask before quoting your own retail price |
| Custom family code (own silicon) | Because the TM1990A-compatible chip is our own design, the 8-bit family code is not locked to 01h — we can set 08h or any value you specify. Readers that filter on family code then accept only your issue, creating a closed credential scheme without changing the protocol. | Volume order; family code agreed before wafer run |
| Custom CRC rule (anti-cloning) | The checksum generation rule can be re-defined to your specification. Standard blanks then fail validation on your controllers even if the serial is copied — cloning is blocked at protocol level, not by secrecy alone. | Project-based — talk to engineering before quoting |
| Private label | Your brand on the product, the bag and the carton, with no reference to us anywhere in the shipment. Standard practice for distributors who sell under their own name. | No extra cost at volume |
