반려동물 급식 매트를 구매할 때 크기가 작고 품질이 좋지 않아 어려움을 겪고 계신가요? 이는 브랜드에 손상을 줄 수 있습니다. 해결책은 고품질의 대형 제품을 생산할 수 있는 소스 공장을 선택하는 것입니다.

Choosing the right supplier means verifying their capability for large-format, single-piece molding and their use of food-grade silicone. You should also assess their [one-stop production capacity](https://www.mrpeasy.com/blog/production-capacity/)[^1] and the depth of their customization services.


My name is Ye Kunfa, but most people call me Jeff. My brother and I founded Dibo Tech 15 years ago. In all that time, I’ve seen too many brand owners get headaches because of their suppliers. They have great product ideas but can’t find a factory that can bring them to life. This is especially true for pet feeding mats, where many challenges are stuck in the production phase. That’s why I want to share our experience to help you find a truly suitable partner, so your great products can successfully reach the market. After all, the essence of business is solving problems and achieving mutual success.

## Why Do Most Pet Feeding Mats Come in Small Sizes?

Have you noticed how hard it is to find truly large feeding mats on the market? Many products are advertised as “large” but their actual size can’t meet the needs of big dogs or multi-pet households. This not only makes your product less appealing but also fails to solve the end-user’s real pain points.

이 문제의 근원은 제조상의 한계에 있습니다. 대형 일체형 실리콘 매트를 제작하려면 대규모 성형 장비와 고정밀 금형이 필요합니다. 많은 공장에서 이는 막대한 초기 투자 비용과 높은 기술적 장애물입니다.


### What is the Key to Breaking Size Limitations?

Frankly, the core lies in a combination of “hardware” and “software.” When I first started in this industry, I also worried about producing large-sized products. I remember a US client once needed a silicone mat far larger than the standard size. We approached many peers, but no one could make it. This experience made me determined to overcome this [technical challenge](https://www.newtopsilicone.com/common-challenges-and-solutions-in-silicone-product-manufacturing/)[^2]. We invested heavily in large silicone molding machines and set up our own CNC mold workshop. This “hardware” investment is what gives us the confidence to manufacture large-sized products.

The “software” refers to our technical team and production experience. How do you ensure an oversized silicone mat is heated evenly during molding, without bubbles, and with smooth edges? This requires engineers to have a very deep understanding of material properties and process parameters.

| Manufacturing Capability Comparison | Ordinary Suppliers | Dibo Tech |
| :— | :— | :— |
| **Core Equipment** | Standard small to medium molding machines | Large & extra-large liquid/solid silicone molding machines |
| **Mold Development** | Outsourced, inconsistent precision & lead times | In-house CNC workshop, fast response, high precision |
| **Size Limitation** | Typically under 500mm * 500mm | Custom extra-large sizes, single-piece molding |
| **Product Finish** | Large products may require splicing | Smooth, seamless, and durable single-piece finish |

So, when you evaluate a supplier, don’t just listen to what they say. It’s best to see their equipment and workshops. A factory that dares to invest in core equipment is one that is truly capable of solving complex problems.

## How Can You Ensure a Pet Feeding Mat’s Material is Truly Safe?

Are you worried that the feeding mats you source contain harmful substances? Many products on the market claim to be “safe and non-toxic,” but often, this is just a verbal promise. If your product receives complaints due to material issues, the damage to your brand could be devastating.

재료 안전을 보장하기 위한 가장 직접적인 방법은 공급업체에 100% 식품 등급 실리콘 원료를 사용하도록 요구하고 FDA 또는 LFGB와 같은 관련 공인 인증 보고서를 제공하는 것입니다. 이는 제품 안전성을 보장하는 가장 중요한 첫 번째 방어선입니다.


### What Does Controlling Quality from the Source Mean?

우리는 항상 품질은 검사가 아니라 제조라고 믿어 왔습니다. 디보는 최고 수준의 공급업체에서 제공하는 식품 등급 실리콘 원료만을 사용합니다. 이러한 소재는 엄격한 선별과 테스트를 거쳐 BPA 및 기타 유해 물질이 없는지 확인합니다.

More importantly, we have established a complete internal production chain. From the very first step after the raw materials arrive—the mixing process—it’s all done in our own workshop. This means we can precisely formulate the silicone’s hardness, color, and performance according to the specific requirements of the product.

Let me share a quick story that left a deep impression on me. A few years ago, we worked with a high-end European pet brand that had extremely strict requirements for the softness and color of their feeding mats. Their previous supplier bought pre-mixed rubber, leading to inconsistent color batches and a failure to achieve the desired softness, resulting in a high return rate. When they came to us, our mixing technicians repeatedly adjusted the formula. In the end, we not only perfectly matched their specified Pantone color but also achieved the “baby skin-like” texture they wanted. Since then, they’ve entrusted all their silicone rubber product development to us.

이 경험을 통해 원스톱 생산의 중요성은 효율성 향상을 넘어 안정적인 품질을 근본적으로 보장한다는 사실을 깨달았습니다.

| Production Process | Subcontracting Model | Dibo Tech’s One-Stop Model |
| :— | :— | :— |
| **Material Processing** | Buys pre-mixed compounds | In-house mixing workshop for source control |
| **Molding** | Molding factory | In-house molding workshop for process stability |
| **Printing/Spraying** | Sent to a printing factory | In-house printing workshop for detail control |
| **Quality Inspection** | Inspected separately at each stage | Unified QC workshop for full traceability |
| **Communication Cost** | High, inefficient (multiple suppliers) | Low, simple & efficient (one point of contact) |

진정으로 신뢰할 수 있는 공급업체는 항상 핵심 프로세스를 자체적으로 관리합니다.

## What Customization Options Are Available Beyond Size and Material?

브랜드에서 눈에 띄는 반려동물 수유 매트를 출시하고 싶으신가요? 경쟁이 치열한 시장에서는 표준화된 제품이 눈에 띄는 경우가 드뭅니다. 단순한 복제품만 만드는 공장이 아니라 창의적인 아이디어를 현실화할 수 있는 파트너가 필요합니다.

우수한 공급업체는 크기와 색상에 대한 기본적인 요구 사항을 충족할 뿐만 아니라 기능적 디자인 및 브랜드 표현에 대한 전문적인 맞춤형 솔루션을 제공해야 합니다. 이를 통해 귀사의 제품이 시장에서 독보적인 경쟁력을 확보할 수 있습니다.


### How Does Deep Customization Reflect Professionalism?

In our view, customization is much more than just “changing a color or adding a logo.” It’s a complete solution. We have a dedicated project team that engages in in-depth discussions with clients, covering everything from market trends and user experience to the feasibility of production processes.

예를 들어 한 고객이 미끄럼 방지 효과가 매우 뛰어난 수유 매트를 개발하고자 했습니다. 디자인팀은 기존의 텍스처를 추천하는 대신 먼저 시중에 나와 있는 수십 개의 제품을 연구하고 장단점을 분석했습니다. 그 결과 타이어 트레드와 유사한 새로운 논슬립 패턴을 디자인했습니다. 이 패턴은 뛰어난 접지력을 제공할 뿐만 아니라 시각적으로도 독특했습니다. 동시에 매트 가장자리에 돌출된 립을 디자인하여 음식이나 물이 쏟아지는 것을 방지했습니다.

이 제품은 출시와 동시에 큰 성공을 거두며 스토어에서 스타셀러가 되었습니다. 이것이 바로 딥 커스터마이징의 가치입니다. 15년간의 업계 경험을 바탕으로 디자인 및 R&D 지원을 제공합니다.

| Customization Option | Description | Value to You |
| :— | :— | :— |
| **Color Customization** | Precise color matching based on Pantone codes | Perfectly aligns with your brand VI, enhancing brand image |
| **Logo Application** | Debossing, embossing, silk-screen printing | Reinforces [brand identity](https://medium.com/appcent-design/how-to-reflect-brand-identity-into-product-design-3a942d279e12)[^3], turning the product into your “mobile billboard” |
| **Functional Design** | Non-slip textures, raised anti-spill edges, hanging holes | Improves user experience, adds unique selling points |
| **Packaging Solutions** | Suggestions for custom packaging design and production | Creates a complete product experience from the inside out |

Choosing a supplier who understands your vision and can execute it will make your brand’s journey much smoother.

## Do You Just Need a Product Supplier?

반려동물 급식 매트를 생산할 수 있는 공장을 찾는 데 만족하시나요? 아니면 장기적인 협업과 동반 성장을 위한 전략적 파트너를 찾고 싶으신가요? 좋은 공급업체는 제품 라인을 확장해야 할 때 강력한 지원을 제공할 수 있어야 합니다.

단일 제품 라인을 갖춘 공장을 선택한다는 것은 공급망이 취약하다는 것을 의미합니다. 헨켈과 같은 종합 실리콘 고무 제품 전문업체를 선택하면 강력하고 확장 가능한 공급망 파트너를 확보할 수 있습니다.


### What Can a Comprehensive Partner Offer?

수년에 걸쳐 많은 고객이 단일 프로젝트로 시작하여 점차 더 많은 실리콘 제품 개발 요구 사항을 우리에게 맡겼습니다. 예를 들어, 반려동물 사료 매트로 시작한 한 고객은 나중에 실리콘 반려동물 장난감과 접을 수 있는 그릇을 개발하도록 의뢰했습니다. 가전제품 액세서리 분야의 한 고객은 우리의 품질을 확인한 후 실리콘 실란트 주문도 우리에게 맡겼습니다.

Why does this happen? Because they know that Dibo Tech’s capabilities extend far beyond just making pet mats.
