How ARTES Helped A Pet Brand Develop A Customized PVC Cat Litter Mat
In the competitive pet product market, creating a unique and practical product is becoming increasingly important for brands.
Many pet brands are looking for more than standard products. They need a reliable manufacturing partner who can help transform product ideas into market-ready solutions with customized designs, stable quality, and efficient production capabilities.
In this project, ARTES partnered with a pet product brand to develop an eco-friendly PVC cat litter mat through a complete ODM manufacturing process, from initial concept development to final mass production.


The client is a premium Seoul-based pet home goods brand focused on vet-verified, ergonomic pet supplies. Its self-developed ergonomic cat litter mat achieved a stunning 5784% crowdfunding success rate, becoming a top premium viral product in Korea. We provided full-process support including R&D consultation, structural optimization, eco-material tuning, global compliance certification and stable mass production, helping the client’s original design achieve great market success.
With increasing demand from pet owners for cleaner and more convenient home environments, the customer wanted to develop a cat litter mat that could effectively reduce litter tracking while offering better product appearance and user experience.
However, instead of choosing common products already available in the market, the customer wanted to create a differentiated product with:
Therefore, they needed an experienced ODM manufacturer who could provide complete product development support.

Before cooperating with ARTES, the customer faced several challenges during product development.
Many existing cat litter mats in the market had similar structures and appearances.
The customer wanted to create a product that could stand out through customized design and improved functionality.
The customer had product ideas but needed professional manufacturing support to optimize:
Product structure
Material selection
Size design
Production feasibility
A manufacturer with ODM experience was required to turn the concept into a practical product.
The customer required a flexible solution that could support:
Customized texture design
Customized size and shape
Different material options
Private label branding
A standard supplier could not meet these requirements.
While consolidating its domestic high-end market share, the client expands cross-border business to Europe, America and Japan. We upgraded the traditional double-layer EVA mat solution based on the client’s original design, optimizing ECO-PVC formula, unifying multi-country compliance standards and refining product details, eliminating common defects such as paw pinching, hidden sand, cracking and difficult cleaning.

Based on the customer's requirements, ARTES provided a complete ODM solution covering the entire development process.
From product concept communication to final production, our team worked closely with the customer to ensure the product matched their market positioning.
