Private-label deodoriser gel block for self-cleaning litter boxes
A 30 g foil-sealed gel block that sits in the odour compartment of a self-cleaning litter box and works for about 30 days. It is the consumable behind a hardware category that is growing fast: every automatic litter box sold creates a household that buys a block a month for years. Non-liquid, 24-month shelf life, ships as ordinary cargo — the easiest pet product to export that Aimo offers.
What can a buyer rely on today?
Guangzhou Aimo Pet Products Co., Ltd. is the public brand, commercial and export counterparty. Commercial offer on a product currently in production. The physical specification, ingredient list, duration and shelf life below are stated from the current production label. Current demand has filled the production schedule through January 2027; a new order is slotted after that unless capacity is reserved. Producing entity and site, preservative system, fragrance allergen declaration and the model-compatibility list are confirmed in writing for the exact SKU before quotation approval.
Why a consumable, not a bottle
Hardware sells once; the consumable sells for years. The self-cleaning litter box market is forecast at roughly USD 0.77 billion in 2026 growing to about USD 1.2 billion by 2033, and every machine on that curve has an odour compartment that needs refilling. A block a month, twelve a year per machine, on a subscription rhythm — that is the commercial logic of this SKU.
Best-fit buyers: cat-product brands with an existing Amazon or DTC presence, subscription-box operators, and distributors already serving automatic litter box owners.
Sample rule: the block is 30 g and foil-sealed, so a sample rides inside any other sample shipment at negligible cost; Aimo includes it with cat-range samples on request.
Specification, from the production label
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Format | 30 g gel block in a 75 × 75 × 15 mm PP grid housing, vented face up, sealed in an aluminium-foil sachet. Release starts when the sachet is opened. |
| Gel system | Water-based carrageenan gel (Chondrus ocellatus), inorganic salt gel skeleton, solubiliser, complex amino acids, persimmon extract, fragrance. |
| How it controls odour | Persimmon extract (tannin) binds ammonia and sulphur odours; complex amino acids assist neutralisation; slow-release fragrance masks. No antibacterial, antimicrobial or biocidal action is claimed or labelled. |
| Duration | About 30 days per block in household use. A 4-pack is one quarter; a 12-pack is one year for one machine. |
| Shelf life | 24 months unopened. Colour change and a small amount of surface moisture inside the sachet are normal and are stated on the label. |
| Compatibility | Sized for the odour compartment of self-cleaning litter boxes. Fit is confirmed per machine model against a written list; machine brand names are not printed on the pack. |
| Freight | Non-liquid, non-aerosol, non-flammable: ordinary cargo, no dangerous-goods surcharge. 30 g per block — a 12-pack is lighter than one 8 oz bottle of shampoo. |
| Fragrance | Standard fragrances available; a fragrance-free or low-fragrance version is offered because some cats reject a strongly scented enclosed box. Fragrance allergen declaration supplied for EU labelling. |
| MOQ and packs | Quoted per piece at tiered quantities; retail 4-pack and 6-pack cartons quoted separately; a bespoke housing appearance needs its own mould and is priced as tooling. |
| Production schedule | Booked through January 2027. New orders slot after that unless capacity is reserved against a framework quantity. |
- Odour control and freshness are the printed claims. Antibacterial, antimicrobial, kills bacteria, disinfects and any veterinary claim are not printed and not offered.
- Not for consumption; keep sealed and out of direct sunlight; the label carries the standard cautions.
- Hot-climate shipping (container temperatures above 45 °C) is discussed before an order to South-East Asia, the Gulf or Latin America, because a water-based gel can soften and weep in prolonged heat.
How this market actually prices — an honest note before you brief us
On Amazon US in September 2026 the generic "compatible" deodoriser gels for the mainstream machines sell at roughly USD 1.25 to 2.83 per block in 6- and 12-packs, at a few hundred to about a thousand units a month per listing. Blocks specified for a particular smaller machine sell at USD 5.66 to 7.50 per block in 3- and 4-packs. The generic tier is crowded and the margin after Amazon fees is thin; the machine-specific tier is where a private-label block earns its keep. Aimo will say which tier your target machine sits in before quoting, so the quote is built on a price you can actually sell at.
Where someone else is the better call
If you need a large, machine-agnostic litter deodoriser — a powder or crystal you scatter into any tray — that is a different product with different manufacturers, and the big brands there move ten times the volume of any gel block. Aimo does not make that product and will not pretend to.
The three-SKU set for automatic litter box households
The block is the anchor, but it has two structural limits — the January 2027 production slot and machine-specific fit. Pairing it with two items Aimo can ship on a normal schedule keeps a customer's programme moving while block capacity comes on line.
| SKU | Role | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Deodoriser gel block | The anchor consumable. One a month per machine. | In production; new orders slot after January 2027 unless capacity is reserved. |
| Litter area deodorising spray | Water-based, non-flammable spray for the box surround and room. Fills the delivery gap and does not depend on any machine model. | Liquid filling is Aimo's core line; formula direction and claims confirmed per SKU. See grooming sprays. |
| Cat wipes | Same household, same monthly rhythm. Paw and body wipes for the cat that uses the box. | Wipe MOQ owner-confirmed. See pet wipes. |
