Questions buyers ask
Can the minimum order be lower?
The standard minimum for this style is 200 pcs per colour. For a first order we can go down to 100-200 pieces, but that depends on the fabric minimum: some qualities are sold by the full roll, and below that quantity we would move you to an in-stock quality at a similar price.
How long does sampling take, and is it charged?
First sample in 7-10 days from your tech pack or reference garment. The sample fee depends on the construction and is credited back against the bulk balance; revisions on the same style are free for up to three rounds.
Can you make it under our own brand?
Yes. Main label, care label, hangtag, barcode sticker and polybag all follow your artwork, and we do not sew our own label into the garment. We also do not sell this style into your target market.
How is the lead time calculated?
Production starts when the sample is signed off and the deposit clears: fabric in about 7 days, cutting and sewing 10-15 days, finishing and inspection 3-5 days, then booking. Peak season (August to October) adds about 5 days; the exact schedule is confirmed on the order.
Can you send a fabric card and a sample first?
Yes. Fabric cards are free and samples are charged as above; courier by DHL or FedEx takes 3-5 days. We confirm your market and quantity first, so the swatches you receive are qualities you can actually order.
What if bulk does not match the sample?
The signed sample is the reference. Every operation runs to a tech sheet, and each shipment is inspected to AQL 2.5 with a report and photos before it leaves. A batch outside the agreed tolerance is reworked or remade at our cost, with no second processing charge.
