- Can I order a sample before placing a wholesale apparel order?Oct 1,2026
Yes. You can order a pre-production sample before committing to a bulk wholesale apparel order. We build every sample through the same pattern-making, cutting, sewing and quality-check process we use for mass production, so the piece you approve is the piece we ship. Sampling is charged at USD 50 per style to cover materials and labour, and shipping is billed separately. A reasonable deposit is required when you confirm the production order.
Fabric, trim and colour confirmed before cutting 
Samples run on the same lines as bulk 
Every sample passes AQL 1.5 inspection What the sampling process looks like
Sampling starts from your tech pack, reference garment or even a rough sketch. Our design team turns it into a measurement sheet and pattern, then confirms fabric, trim and print method with you before anything is cut. Sampling takes 7-10 days for most activewear styles, including sports bras, leggings, hoodies, shorts and training tops. Once the sample is approved, the same pattern and fabric lot specification is locked into your production file.
What your sample includes
- Fit and construction - graded pattern, seam type, elastic and stitch density confirmed on the actual garment.
- Fabric and handfeel - the exact sourced fabric, weight and stretch so you can test it against your target market.
- Branding and trims - woven labels, care labels, zippers, drawcords, silicone prints or embroidery.
- Colour accuracy - lab-dip or Pantone matching so bulk dye lots stay consistent with the approved sample.
- Sample report - measurements and inspection notes so your team can sign off objectively.
How sampling fits your wholesale order
Sampling is a standalone service, so no minimum order quantity is attached to it - you can validate a design before you invest in bulk. When you move to production, a deposit confirms the order and the approved sample becomes the quality reference on our factory floor. For larger programmes we can also produce size sets and sales samples for your showroom or trade show.
Typical timeline: tech pack review within 24 hours, prototyping and sample production in 7-10 days, bulk production about 25 days after approval. Shipments leave from Shenzhen.Still planning your first collection? Read more about our factory or send your design to our team to start a sample.
- What is the response time for quotes or other inquiries?Oct 1,2026
We reply to quotes and inquiries within 1 hour during working hours. Our customer service team is based in the same building as our sample room and production floor, so pricing questions are answered by people who can check fabric stock and line capacity directly rather than forwarding your email around. Inquiries that arrive outside working hours are usually answered the next morning, and complex projects - multi-style collections, custom fabric development, packaging programmes - get a first response within 1 hour plus a complete quotation within 24 hours.
Trusted by 1,200+ sportswear brands 
Quotes checked against real material stock 
Capacity checked before quoting lead time What to send so the first reply is a real answer
- Style and category - sports bra, leggings, hoodie, shorts, training top, or a reference image if you are still defining it.
- Target quantity per style - we quote against real volume, and we will tell you if a flexible MOQ works better for a first run.
- Fabric preference or performance need - compression, moisture wicking, brushed handfeel, recycled content, four-way stretch.
- Branding requirements - woven labels, printing method, embroidery, retail-ready packaging.
- Target market and timing - destination country and your required delivery window, so lead time and logistics are priced in.
What you get back in that reply
A working quotation, not a price list. That normally means unit cost at your quantity, the MOQ we recommend for your stage, fabric options with weight and composition, sampling timeline and fee, bulk lead time, and packing details. If a requirement is not workable we say so in the same message and propose the closest alternative instead of leaving the gap open. Our team has supported more than 1,200 sportswear brand clients, so most categories have already been quoted in your market.
Fastest route to a full quotation: a tech pack earns a precise answer, a reference photo plus measurements earns a close one, and a single line of requirements still earns a reply with the questions we need answered.Ready to price a collection?

- What is the duration for receiving my wholesale apparel order?Oct 1,2026
Sampling runs at about 7 days, and bulk wholesale orders are typically completed within 25 days. The clock starts when your sample is approved, not when the enquiry arrives, because production can only be scheduled against a signed-off reference. From that point we report status continuously rather than leaving you to guess, and finished goods ship from Shenzhen.
Bulk runs complete in about 25 days 
Fabric staged before cutting starts 
Inspection sits inside the timeline How the timeline breaks down
- Quotation - first reply within 1 hour in working hours, a full quotation usually within 24 hours.
- Sampling - about 7 days for most activewear styles, covering pattern, fabric confirmation and the sample itself.
- Bulk production - normally within 25 days after sample approval, running on our smart hanging lines.
- Inspection and packing - final AQL inspection and retail-ready packing are inside that production window, not added to it.
- Shipping - departure from Shenzhen plus transit to your port or door, quoted against your destination.
What can move the date
Fabric is the usual variable. A stock fabric from our 200+ material library keeps the standard timeline; a custom-developed or custom-dyed fabric adds mill lead time before cutting can start. Late changes to fit, colour or branding artwork also push the schedule, since they invalidate work already completed. Orders that need to be faster are handled as rush orders, which have to be flagged when the production order is placed so we can reserve line capacity up front.
How you stay informed
Once your order launches, your dedicated account manager sends weekly status reports with live photos and video covering the critical milestones - fabric cutting, sewing, and final quality control inspection. If a milestone is at risk we raise it in that report rather than at the shipping deadline, so there is still time to react.
Planning backwards from a launch date? Tell us the date the goods must leave Shenzhen and we will confirm whether the standard 25-day run fits or a rush schedule is needed.Read more about our production capacity or send your drop date to our team for a timeline with your quotation.
- Can we discuss exclusive distribution for our region?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For qualified brands our manufacturer can discuss exclusive or priority distribution for a region, and we back the talk with an NDA so your designs and plans stay protected while we scope the partnership.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How a regional partnership works at our factory
- Exclusive or priority - territory set per the agreement.
- NDA first - designs protected before we plan.
- Volume basis - terms tied to committed volume.
- Long-term - built for repeat, not one order.
Why exclusivity needs protection first
A distribution deal shares your roadmap with a supplier, so the NDA comes before the numbers. With designs protected and a territory set against committed volume, exclusivity becomes a growth lever, not a leak of your plan to a competitor.
Want to explore a region? We will sign an NDA and scope the terms.Read more about our exclusive distribution or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you arrange cargo insurance for the shipment?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Under CIF terms, or as an add-on to FOB, our factory arranges cargo insurance so a lost or damaged bulk is covered rather than a total loss at sea — the basic protection every overseas order should carry.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How cargo insurance works at our factory
- CIF includes - cover built into the freight term.
- Add-on option - insure a FOB shipment too.
- All-risk basis - loss and damage covered in transit.
- Documented - policy tied to the booking.
Why insurance protects the bulk
A container lost at sea is the whole order, gone. Cargo insurance turns that total loss into a claim, so one bad transit does not wipe a season. It is a small line on the quote that backs up the whole shipment.
Ask for insurance on your next shipment and we will add cover.Read more about our cargo insurance or send your brief for a quote.
- Can you provide a Certificate of Origin for duty reduction?Oct 1,2026
Yes. As your export manufacturer we provide a Certificate of Origin — Form A or EUR.1 where the trade agreement applies — so your activewear qualifies for preferential duty and the landed cost drops instead of paying the full rate.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How a Certificate of Origin helps at our factory
- Preferential duty - lower rate under the agreement.
- Form A / EUR.1 - issued where applicable.
- Documented - origin stated for customs.
- Market-matched - we issue per your destination.
Why CoO cuts landed cost
A Certificate of Origin is the paper that turns a trade agreement into a lower duty. Issued correctly per destination, it shaves the landed cost of a bulk order — margin you keep, not a saving the customs keeps.
Tell us the destination and we will issue the right CoO.Read more about our Certificate of Origin or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you ship FCL or LCL and palletise cartons?Oct 1,2026
Yes. From Shenzhen our sportswear factory ships both full container (FCL) and less-than-container (LCL) loads, and we palletise cartons for safe handling, so the mode fits your volume and the goods arrive stable, not loose.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served FCL, LCL and pallets at our factory
- FCL - full container for large bulk, lower unit cost.
- LCL - shared container for smaller runs.
- Palletised - cartons shrink-wrapped to a base.
- Shenzhen base - major port for both modes.
Why the right load protects cost and goods
FCL is cheapest per unit but needs the volume; LCL fills the gap for a smaller run. Palletising either way means the cartons are handled as a unit, cutting the damage and delay that loose boxes cause in transit.
Tell us the volume and we will quote FCL or LCL with pallets.Read more about our FCL and LCL shipping or send your brief for a quote.
- Can you apply Amazon FBA carton labels?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For Amazon FBA our factory applies carton and FNSKU labels to Amazon spec, so your activewear arrives ready for the fulfilment centre without a separate prep step slowing the inbound.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How FBA labelling works at our factory
- FNSKU on units - scannable label per item.
- Carton label - shipment ID on the box.
- To spec - Amazon rules applied, not guessed.
- Prep-ready - no second prep before inbound.
Why in-plant FBA prep saves time
Amazon rejects inbound that misses its label spec, and a prep step adds cost and delay. Applying FNSKU and carton labels at the plant means the carton that leaves Shenzhen is the carton Amazon accepts — straight to the shelf.
Send the FBA template and we will label to it.Read more about our Amazon FBA labelling or send your brief for a quote.
- How do you verify fabric GSM in quality control?Oct 1,2026
As your quality-focused manufacturer we verify GSM on incoming cloth and on finished panels, so the fabric weight matches the spec you approved and the handfeel stays consistent from the first run to the reorder.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How GSM is verified at our factory
- Incoming weigh - cloth checked before it is cut.
- Panel re-check - finished weight confirmed post-make.
- Spec matched - deviation flagged against the file.
- Reorder-stable - weight held across lots.
Why GSM verification protects consistency
A legging that feels right at sampling but thin in bulk failed on weight. Verifying GSM on cloth and panel catches the drift before the run, so the fabric you reorder is the fabric you approved — the quiet control behind a consistent brand.
Want GSM on the QC report? We will add it per lot.Read more about our fabric GSM verification or send your brief for a quote.
- Can my inspector attend the final inspection?Oct 1,2026
Yes. You or your appointed inspector can attend the final inspection at our sportswear factory, alongside our own AQL 1.5 check, so the bulk lot is approved on site with evidence rather than on a report alone.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How inspector attendance works at our factory
- On-site - your inspector joins the line check.
- With our AQL - our 1.5 standard runs alongside.
- Same lot - the approved units are the shipped units.
- Flexible - your agent or a third party welcome.
Why attending the inspection de-risks import
A report is evidence; a person on the floor is certainty. Letting your inspector attend the final inspection means a bad lot is stopped at the plant where fixing it is cheap, not at your warehouse where it is a chargeback.
Book your inspection date and we will host your inspector on site.Read more about our final inspection attendance or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you perform carton drop tests?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For export our factory drop-tests the cartons so the packing survives sea transit and handling, not just looks tidy on the line — a drop test is how we prove the box, not assume it.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How carton drop testing works at our factory
- Drop sequence - carton tested on edges and corners.
- Sea-ready - built for long transit, not shelf.
- Reinforced where needed - weak points fixed before bulk.
- Tied to pack spec - the tested box is the one we use.
Why a drop test protects the bulk
A carton that fails in transit spills a bulk order into a mixed, damaged pile at the port. Drop-testing the pack before bulk means the box that leaves Shenzhen is the box that opens clean at your 3PL — protecting the goods and your receiving time.
Ask for drop-test results on your export carton spec.Read more about our carton drop test or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you run metal and needle detection before shipping?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For export our factory runs metal and needle detection on finished bulk, so a broken needle or stray metal fragment is caught at the plant and never reaches your container or your customer — a basic safety gate for imported apparel.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How detection works at our factory
- Needle scan - garments checked for broken needles.
- Metal scan - stray metal flagged and removed.
- Export standard - applied to overseas shipments.
- Recorded - checks tied to the lot.
Why detection protects import and brand
A needle left in a garment is a recall and a headline, not a defect. Running detection on finished bulk is the cheap, standard gate that keeps a foreign-object failure out of your warehouse and off your customer.
Want detection on every lot? We apply it to export bulk by default.Read more about our needle and metal detection or send your brief for a quote.
- Are your fabrics REACH compliant for the EU?Oct 1,2026
Yes. As your activewear manufacturer our fabric supplier provides REACH-compliant materials and can share chemical test data, so EU-bound activewear meets the substance restrictions that retailers and market surveillance now verify.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How REACH compliance is handled at our factory
- Compliant inputs - fabrics and trims meet REACH.
- Test data - chemical reports available on request.
- EU-bound - applied to Europe shipments by default.
- Documented - paper trail for the market.
Why REACH matters for EU activewear
REACH restricts harmful substances in textiles sold to the EU, and non-compliance can block a shipment at the border or pull it from a shelf. Sourcing compliant inputs and holding the test data keeps your EU activewear lawful and audit-ready.
Shipping to the EU? Ask for REACH test data with the bulk.Read more about our REACH compliance or send your brief for a quote.
- What abrasion resistance do your activewear fabrics have?Oct 1,2026
As your fabric manufacturer we verify abrasion resistance on key activewear knits by rub testing, so high-wear zones — under pack straps, at the inner thigh — hold instead of thinning or pilling through repeat use.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How abrasion is checked at our factory
- Rub testing - cloth rated for wear cycles.
- High-wear focus - zones that take load are prioritised.
- Blend tuned - fibre mix set for the use.
- Matched to use - training vs studio get different ratings.
Why abrasion rating matters for wear
Abrasion is the slow failure nobody sees on delivery — the thin spot that appears after a month of training. Rating the cloth by rub means the fabric is chosen for the load it carries, so the garment lasts as long as the brand promises.
Tell us the wear zone and we will spec the abrasion rating.Read more about our abrasion resistance or send your brief for a quote.
- How do you test colour fastness?Oct 1,2026
As your manufacturer we test colour fastness to wash, rub and perspiration on dyed and printed panels, so activewear keeps its colour through training and laundry instead of bleeding onto skin or fading after a few washes.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served Colour fastness tests at our factory
- Wash fast - colour held through launder cycles.
- Rub fast - no transfer on skin or gear.
- Perspiration - colour stable against sweat.
- Print and dye - both checked, not just cloth.
Why fastness protects the brand
A colour that bleeds onto a customer or fades in a week is a review and a return. Testing fastness on the actual dyed and printed panel catches the fault at the factory, where a fix is cheap, not on the wearer.
Need a specific fastness standard? Tell us and we test to it.Read more about our colour fastness testing or send your brief for a quote.
- What fabric weight (GSM) do you recommend per product?Oct 1,2026
As your fabric manufacturer we recommend GSM by product: light for training tees, mid-weight for leggings, heavy for hoodies and fleece, so the cloth weight matches the wear and the season instead of a one-size guess.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served GSM we recommend per activewear type
- Tees - light, breathable knit for training.
- Leggings - mid-weight with recovery.
- Hoodies - heavy french terry or fleece.
- Season-tuned - weight shifted by market climate.
Why GSM decides the feel
GSM is the number behind how a garment feels and wears. Too light and a legging goes sheer; too heavy and a tee sweats. Recommending weight per product is how the sample you approve feels right on the body and in the wash.
Tell us the product and season and we will recommend GSM.Read more about our fabric weight guide or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you make compression-grade activewear fabric?Oct 1,2026
Yes. As a leggings factory we knit compression-grade fabric with tuned spandex and power, balanced so the support stays through a session without cutting circulation or bagging after a few wears.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How compression fabric is built at our factory
- Power knit - higher spandex and density for hold.
- Graduated feel - support tuned to the muscle zone.
- Recovery set - returns to shape wear after wear.
- Squat-proof - opacity checked under load.
Why compression needs a real knit
Compression is not just 'tight' — it is a knit engineered for hold and recovery. A true compression fabric supports without biting and recovers without bagging, which is what lets a training tight read premium and survive the wash.
Tell us the support level and we will set the compression knit.Read more about our compression fabric or send your brief for a quote.
- What is the difference between 2-way and 4-way stretch fabric?Oct 1,2026
Two-way stretch gives on the cross grain only; four-way stretch gives and recovers in every direction. As your fabric-conscious manufacturer we pick the knit per activewear style so movement and shape retention match how the garment is worn.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How stretch type works at our factory
- Two-way - stretch across, stable lengthwise.
- Four-way - stretch and recover all directions.
- Matched to style - training wear gets four-way.
- Recovery set - blend tuned so it returns to shape.
Why stretch type changes the wear
A two-way knit is fine for a relaxed tee; a training tight needs four-way or it binds and bags. Picking the stretch type per style is what keeps the garment moving with the body and coming back to shape after the workout.
Tell us the activity and we will spec two-way or four-way.Read more about our stretch fabric types or send your brief for a quote.
- Can you add pockets, zips and functional details to a base style?Oct 1,2026
Yes. As your activewear manufacturer we can add pockets, zips, hoods and other functional details to a base style, so a simple garment becomes a real activewear piece tuned to how it is worn and trained in.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served Functional details our factory adds
- Pockets - zip, patch or hidden, placed to use.
- Zips - colour, pull and gauge matched.
- Hoods and cuffs - adjusters and bindings per style.
- Locked at sampling - each detail approved on the sample.
Why functional details define the wear
A base tee becomes a training top with the right zip; a simple short becomes run-ready with the right pocket. Adding functional details to a proven base is the low-risk way to build a real activewear line without redesigning from zero.
List the features you want and we will build them into the base.Read more about our functional details or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you supply custom retail boxes for private label?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For private label activewear our factory supplies custom retail boxes and mailers, printed to your brand and packed so the unboxing matches the product — the packaging becomes part of the brand, not just the ship.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served Custom retail packaging from our factory
- Mailer boxes - branded, protective, retail-ready.
- Printed to brand - colour and logo on the carton.
- Sized to style - box matched to the garment.
- Set at sampling - pack proofed with the product.
Why retail packaging is part of the brand
For a DTC brand the box is the first product the customer touches. A custom mailer printed to your brand turns shipping into brand experience and cuts damage in transit — set at sampling so the pack and the product are approved together.
Send your box artwork and we will produce the retail packaging.Read more about our custom retail packaging or send your brief for a quote.
- Can you add reflective tape to activewear?Oct 1,2026
Yes. As your activewear manufacturer we can add reflective tape and trims for visibility and safety, placed per your design on run, cycle and studio styles so the garment pops in low light without losing its look.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How reflective trim works at our factory
- Tape placement - logo, panel or full-ring reflectivity.
- Wash-stable - reflective rated for repeat launder.
- Safety or style - function and look in one trim.
- Locked at sampling - placement approved before bulk.
Why reflective trim sells run and safety wear
Reflective tape is the trim that does two jobs — it meets a safety need for run and cycle wear and it reads as a design feature in a studio shot. Applied in-house, the placement stays consistent across the run and the wash.
Send the placement and we will add reflective tape to the style.Read more about our reflective trim or send your brief for a quote.
- Can you make bonded or welded seams instead of stitching?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For selected activewear our factory can bond or weld panels into a flat, no-stitch seam using tape and heat instead of thread, giving a clean finish and a technical look where stitching would show or chafe.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How bonded seams work at our factory
- Tape and heat - panels joined without a needle line.
- Flat finish - no seam bulk against the skin.
- Technical look - clean lines read premium.
- Style-limited - best on smooth, non-stretch panels.
Why a bonded seam lifts the garment
A welded seam removes the thread and the bulk that stitching leaves, so a tight training top reads smooth and a seam does not rub. It is a construction choice that signals technical quality — applied where the fabric and the style suit it.
Ask about bonding for your smooth-panel styles and we will advise.Read more about our bonded seam construction or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you produce compliant care and content labels?Oct 1,2026
Yes. As your activewear manufacturer we produce care and fibre-content labels compliant with US, EU and UK rules, specified at sampling so the wording passes market and retailer checks rather than failing at intake.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served What compliant labelling covers at our factory
- Fibre content - exact blend stated per regulation.
- Care symbols - wash, dry and iron per market.
- Country of origin - marked as required.
- Locked at sampling - wording approved before bulk.
Why label compliance avoids a recall
A wrong care or content label is a compliance fail that can pull a whole batch at a retailer, not just a typo. Setting the wording at sampling — to the right market — keeps the bulk sellable and keeps you out of the recall queue.
Tell us the market and we will set compliant label wording.Read more about our care and content labels or send your brief for a quote.
- How do you plan cutting capacity for a bulk order?Oct 1,2026
For each bulk order our factory plans cutting with graded markers and lay planning, so fabric yield is maximised and the sewing line is fed on schedule — protecting both the cost per piece and the lead time of your sportswear run.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How cutting is planned at our factory
- Graded markers - sizes nested to cut waste.
- Lay planning - layers set for the fabric and run.
- Yield check - cloth use measured before cut.
- Line-fed - cut panels reach sewing on time.
Why cutting planning drives cost and time
Cutting is where margin is won or lost before a stitch is sewn. A good marker saves fabric across thousands of units; a fed line avoids idle sewers. Planning it is the unglamorous step that keeps the bulk both cheap and on time.
Ask for the marker plan on a large run and we will share yield.Read more about our cutting capacity planning or send your brief for a quote.
- Can you split a bulk order into phased shipments?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For a large programme our sportswear factory can phase the bulk order into split shipments matched to your sell-in dates, so stock lands as you need it instead of as one container you must warehouse for months.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How phased shipments work at our factory
- Date-matched - each lot ships to your calendar.
- One PO - the order stays one, delivered in parts.
- Forecast-based - phasing planned from your sell-in.
- QC per lot - each shipment inspected before it leaves.
Why phasing beats one big container
A single container of a full season ties up cash in a warehouse and risks a miss if demand shifts. Phased shipments turn one bulk into a drip that matches sell-in, easing cash flow and letting the second lot reflect what the first one proved.
Send your sell-in dates and we will phase the bulk.Read more about our phased bulk shipments or send your brief for a quote.
- Can the spec change after bulk production starts?Oct 1,2026
If a spec needs to move after bulk is open, our factory handles it as an engineering change order — quoted for impact and locked before the affected stage, so the change is recorded and the run stays traceable rather than patched on the floor.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How a change order works at our factory
- Raise the ECO - you flag the change and stage.
- Impact quoted - cost and time are stated before we act.
- Locked before stage - the change is set before cutting or sewing hits it.
- Versioned - the bulk lot records the new spec.
Why a controlled change beats a verbal one
A spec changed by phone call in the middle of a run is how mixed-standard containers happen. An engineering change order prices the impact and freezes it at the right station, so you know exactly which units carry the old spec and which carry the new.
Need a change? Raise an ECO and we will quote impact before acting.Read more about our engineering change order or send your brief for a quote.
- How do you protect lead time during Chinese New Year?Oct 1,2026
Ahead of the Chinese New Year shutdown our sportswear factory plans bulk early, building buffer and reserving lines so repeat orders ship before the closure rather than joining the post-holiday queue that delays every late planner.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How our factory handles CNY
- Early cut plan - bulk for the season is cut before close.
- Reserved lines - repeat programmes keep line space.
- Buffer stock - key fabrics held to restart fast.
- Clear dates - we publish the shutdown window early.
Why CNY planning protects your season
The CNY shutdown is the one fixed date that freezes every Shenzhen factory at once. Planning your bulk against it — not after it — is the difference between spring stock that lands in February and a container that misses the whole season.
Send Q1 volumes early and we will lock CNY-safe dates.Read more about our Chinese New Year planning or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you offer CMT or full-package sportswear production?Oct 1,2026
Yes. As your sportswear manufacturer we offer both CMT (cut, make, trim) and full-package production, so you decide whether we run the whole supply chain or just the sewing, based on how much you want to control.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served CMT vs full-package at our factory
- CMT - you supply fabric and trims, we cut and sew.
- Full-package - we source cloth, make and ship ready.
- Mixed model - some brands split by style or season.
- One QC standard - either way, AQL 1.5 applies.
Why the model is your call
A brand with its own fabric contracts wants CMT; a brand that wants one invoice wants full-package. Offering both means the production model fits your team, not the other way round — and the quality bar stays ours either way.
Tell us what you source and we will quote the right model.Read more about our CMT and full-package or send your brief for a quote.
- What is the MOQ for all-over sublimation print?Oct 1,2026
All-over sublimation is printed as its own batch, so as your manufacturer we quote the print MOQ per style and colour separately from the garment MOQ — the print setup, not the cut, sets the minimum for a fully printed activewear style.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How all-over print MOQ works
- Print batch - the cloth is printed before it is cut.
- Per style and colour - each printed design is its own run.
- Quoted with garment - we give print and make minimums together.
- Lower on repeats - proven prints reload cheaper.
Why print MOQ differs from garment MOQ
A sublimated style needs the cloth printed as a lot, so the minimum is set by the print, not just the sewing. Quoting both together means you know the true entry cost of an all-over print before you commit — no surprise print minimum buried in the bulk.
Send the print artwork and we will quote print and garment MOQ together.Read more about our all-over print MOQ or send your brief for a quote.
- How do I send a request for quotation to your factory?Oct 1,2026
Send us the style, fabric intent, quantity and target market, and as your manufacturer we return a quoted MOQ, a price range and a dated production plan — so you compare suppliers on the same inputs, not on vague promises.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served What a good RFQ to our factory includes
- Style or reference - a sketch, photo or tech pack.
- Fabric intent - composition and weight you have in mind.
- Quantity and colour - MOQ per style and colour stated.
- Target market - size spec and any compliance need.
Why a clean RFQ gets a real quote
A vague enquiry returns a vague quote, and a vague quote hides the risk. Giving us the four inputs up front means the number we return is built on your actual spec — comparable to other factories, and ready to turn into a PO without a second round of questions.
Use our RFQ template or just send the four inputs and we will quote.Read more about our request for quotation or send your brief for a quote.
- Can you expedite a sample for a tight product launch?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For a tight launch date our sportswear factory can expedite a sample ahead of the standard 7-10 day window when your spec and fabric are ready, so the development step does not become the critical path.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served What makes a sample expeditable
- Ready spec - a tech pack or reference shortens setup.
- Stock fabric - using available cloth avoids a wait.
- Prioritised line - the sample jumps the queue, not the QC.
- Same approval - expedited still gets your sign-off.
Why expedited sampling saves the launch
The launch date is fixed by marketing, not by the sample room. Expediting the sample — without skipping the approval — protects the date while keeping the bulk safe, because the thing you sign is still the thing we make.
Share the launch date and we will quote an expedited sample plan.Read more about our expedited sampling or send your brief for a quote.
- Is the custom sample fee refundable against a bulk order?Oct 1,2026
Yes. As your activewear manufacturer we refund or credit the custom sample fee against your confirmed bulk order, so the cost of developing and approving the style comes off the production rather than sitting as a separate charge.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How sample fees work at our factory
- Quoted up front - the sample cost is stated before we start.
- Credited to bulk - refunded when the bulk is confirmed.
- One style, one fee - each new style samples on its own.
- Transparent - no hidden charge after approval.
Why a refundable fee de-risks sampling
A non-refundable sample fee punishes a brand for checking the supplier. Refunding it against bulk means you can validate fabric and fit with low risk, and the development cost lands inside the order where it belongs — the normal B2B pattern for a serious manufacturer.
Confirm the bulk and we credit the sample fee to your invoice.Read more about our sample fee policy or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you make a pre-production (PP) sample before bulk?Oct 1,2026
Yes. As your manufacturer we make a pre-production (PP) sample once the spec is locked, so the bulk order runs from an approved reference instead of starting on a guess — the safest point to catch a fit or trim error is before the cloth is cut.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served What the PP sample locks at our factory
- Final spec - fabric, trim and construction set and signed.
- Fit proof - measurement and wear checked on the real build.
- Bulk reference - every checkpoint measures against this sample.
- Risk moved early - changes cost nothing here, not in bulk.
Why a PP sample protects the bulk run
A development sample proves the idea; a PP sample proves the production article. Built on the same line and fabric as bulk, it is the thing your QC and our line both measure against, so the 500,000-piece month stays consistent with what you approved.
Approve the PP sample and we open the bulk against that exact reference.Read more about our pre-production sampling or send your brief for a quote.
- Can your manufacturer ship DDP to my market?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For selected regions our sportswear manufacturer ships DDP — delivered duty paid — handling freight, import duty and last-mile delivery so your bulk lands at your door with the landed cost known up front.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How DDP works with our factory
- Duty included - import tax built into the quote.
- Last-mile handled - we arrange delivery to your door.
- Landed cost known - no surprise charges on arrival.
- Region limited - available where we run the route.
Why DDP simplifies bulk import
DDP turns a multi-party import into one invoice: no broker chase, no duty surprise, no unclear landed cost. For brands without a freight team it is the lowest-friction way to receive a bulk order — at the cost of a higher upfront quote you can still model.
Tell us your market and we will confirm DDP availability.Read more about our DDP shipping or send your brief for a quote.
- How does your factory pack activewear for export?Oct 1,2026
For export our factory packs each activewear piece in a polybag, then into export cartons with the size ratio and carton markings you specify, so the container arrives organised and shelf-ready, not a mixed pile.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served Export packing at our sportswear factory
- Polybag per piece - with barcode and size sticker.
- Carton per ratio - size breakdown set to your assortment.
- Markings - carton labels match your warehouse rules.
- Protection - reinforced cartons for sea transit.
Why export packing affects your warehouse
Carton packing decided at the factory is your receiving speed at the warehouse. Size-ratio cartons with correct markings mean your 3PL books in and puts away without opening every box — a small spec that saves real labour on a bulk container.
Send your carton and ratio spec and we will pack to it.Read more about our export packing or send your brief for a quote.
- What payment terms does your OEM sportswear factory accept?Oct 1,2026
For B2B bulk we take T/T with 50% deposit and 50% before shipment as standard, and we can arrange L/C for qualified large programmes, so the payment terms match the order size and your financing.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served Payment terms at our sportswear factory
- T/T 50% deposit - standard for most bulk orders.
- 50% before shipment - balance cleared before goods leave.
- L/C available - for qualified large programmes.
- Clear schedule - dates tied to sample and production.
Why fixed payment terms build trust
A 50/50 deposit-before-shipment split is the B2B norm that protects both sides: you fund the make, we fund the finish. Stating it plainly upfront is what lets a new brand start without a negotiated mystery.
For very large runs, ask about L/C terms with our team.Read more about our OEM payment terms or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you ship sportswear by sea and by air from your factory?Oct 1,2026
Yes. From Shenzhen our factory arranges both sea and air freight, and we help you balance cost against speed based on your launch date and order size rather than defaulting to one mode.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served Sea vs air from our sportswear factory
- Sea freight - lowest cost for full bulk, slower.
- Air freight - fast for top-ups and launches.
- Shenzhen base - major port and airport, easy consolidation.
- Mode advised - we propose by date and volume.
Why the right mode protects launch and margin
Sea saves the margin but risks the date; air saves the date but costs the margin. Matching the mode to the order — sea for the plan, air for the gap — is how a bulk programme lands in stock before the campaign without paying air on everything.
Give us the date and volume and we will advise sea or air.Read more about our freight shipping options or send your brief for a quote.
- What Incoterms does your sportswear manufacturer offer?Oct 1,2026
As your sportswear manufacturer we quote the Incoterms you need — EXW, FOB Shenzhen, CIF or DDP — with FOB Shenzhen as our default for B2B activewear export, so responsibility and cost are clear before you book.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served Incoterms our factory supports
- EXW - you take the goods at our plant.
- FOB Shenzhen - we deliver on board at Shenzhen port.
- CIF - we cover freight and insurance to port.
- DDP - we handle duty and delivery to your door.
Why the right Incoterm protects margin
The Incoterm decides who pays freight, insurance and duty — and who owns the risk in transit. Picking it with your freight forwarder up front avoids the surprise charges that erase a margin you already priced.
Tell us your freight setup and we will quote the right Incoterm.Read more about our shipping Incoterms or send your brief for a quote.
- What is your defect rate and how are defective goods handled?Oct 1,2026
Under our AQL 1.5 standard most bulk passes clean, and any confirmed defect is credited or replaced — with the root cause fixed in the process so the same fault does not repeat on your next run.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How defects are handled at our factory
- AQL gate - lots held to the agreed accept limit.
- Confirm and credit - verified defects are credited or replaced.
- Root cause - the cause is closed, not just the unit.
- Reorder proof - the fix carries to future bulk.
Why defect handling is part of the partnership
A supplier that only inspects and walks away shifts risk to you. Closing the root cause means the credit on this run also protects the next one — the difference between a vendor transaction and a manufacturing partnership that scales.
Share any field defect and we will trace and close the cause.Read more about our defect handling or send your brief for a quote.
- What in-line quality checks does your sportswear factory run?Oct 1,2026
Inside our sportswear factory we run in-line quality checks at cutting, sewing and finishing, so a defect is caught at the station where it happens rather than at the carton at the end of the line.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served In-line checks across our production
- Cutting check - panels measured before they sew.
- Sewing check - stitch and construction audited per run.
- Finishing check - trim, press and pack verified.
- Station stop - a fault halts the line, not the shipment.
Why in-line beats end-of-line only
An end-of-line inspection finds defects; it does not stop them. In-line checks mean a cutting error never reaches sewing and a seam fault never reaches finishing, which is how a 20,000 m² plant holds one standard without a massive reject pile at the end.
Want checkpoints named in your PO? We will map them to your style.Read more about our in-line quality control or send your brief for a quote.
- Is your activewear factory ISO 9001 certified?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Our activewear factory is ISO 9001 certified — the quality-management baseline behind the AQL 1.5 inspection and 8-step process we have run as a sportswear manufacturer since 2014.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served What ISO 9001 means at our factory
- Documented process - every step has a standard, not a habit.
- Traceability - lots and checks are recorded.
- Continual fix - non-conformance loops back, not away.
- Audited - certification is verified, not claimed.
Why ISO 9001 is the floor, not the ceiling
ISO 9001 says the system is real: process is written, measured and fixed. It is the baseline a B2B buyer should expect, and it is what lets our AQL and 8-step checks stay consistent across 500,000 pieces a month instead of drifting with the shift.
Request the ISO 9001 certificate and audit summary any time.Read more about our ISO 9001 quality system or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you provide a pre-shipment inspection report for bulk orders?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For every bulk order our factory issues a pre-shipment inspection (PSI) report with measured results and photos before the goods leave, so you approve the lot on evidence, not on trust.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served What the PSI report from our factory shows
- Defect result - AQL count against the agreed level.
- Measurements - key specs verified on the lot.
- Packaging check - cartons and labels as specified.
- Photos - visual proof of the actual bulk.
Why a PSI report de-risks import
A container that sails with hidden defects is your cost, not ours, once it lands. A PSI report before shipment lets you stop a bad lot at the factory, where fixing it is cheap, not at the warehouse, where it is a chargeback.
Want a third-party PSI? We can book SGS or Intertek alongside ours.Read more about our pre-shipment inspection or send your brief for a quote.
- What AQL inspection level does your sportswear manufacturer use?Oct 1,2026
As a sportswear manufacturer we inspect bulk to AQL 1.5 as our standard, and we can set the AQL level to your retailer or market requirement so the accept limit matches how strict your channel is.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How AQL inspection works at our factory
- AQL 1.5 standard - tight limit on functional and major defects.
- Adjustable - loosen or tighten to your channel rule.
- Random sampling - lots checked by statistical plan, not by eye.
- Recorded - results tied to the bulk lot.
Why AQL level is a buying decision
The AQL you accept defines how many defects reach your customer. A tighter AQL costs a little more in inspection; a looser one risks returns. We set it with you up front so the quality bar is agreed, not discovered at intake.
Tell us your retailer's AQL rule and we will inspect to it.Read more about our AQL inspection standard or send your brief for a quote.
- Which moisture-wicking fabric does your gym wear manufacturer recommend?Oct 1,2026
As a gym wear manufacturer we recommend polyester and recycled knits with a moisture-wicking finish for training tees and tops, and we match the cloth to the activity so sweat moves off skin instead of sitting on it.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served Wicking fabrics our activewear factory uses
- Polyester knit - light, wicks and dries fast.
- Recycled option - GRS rPET with the same finish.
- Mesh zones - ventilation where heat builds.
- Finish locked - wicking set at development, not guessed.
Why the right wicking fabric sells the workout
A tee that stays soaked fails its one job. The right wicking knit — with mesh where you heat up — is what makes a training top feel technical, and feeling technical is what lets a gym brand charge for performance.
Describe the workout and we will spec the wicking fabric.Read more about our moisture wicking fabrics or send your brief for a quote.
- What spandex blend does your leggings factory use for stretch?Oct 1,2026
As a leggings factory we blend spandex into the knit for four-way stretch and recovery, and we tune the blend per legging spec so the fabric returns to shape after wear instead of bagging at the knee.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How we build legging stretch
- Four-way stretch - moves with the body in every direction.
- Recovery tuned - blend set so the leg does not bag.
- Weight matched - GSM chosen for support vs comfort.
- Squat-proof - opacity checked for training wear.
Why recovery matters more than stretch
Any knit stretches; few recover. A legging that stretches but bags out costs you the repeat customer. Recovery tuned to the style is what keeps the silhouette through a workout and a wash — the spec detail that separates a premium legging from a cheap one.
Tell us the support level and we will set the spandex blend.Read more about our leggings stretch fabric or send your brief for a quote.
- How does your fabric manufacturer test for pilling and shrinkage?Oct 1,2026
As a fabric-conscious manufacturer we test pilling and shrinkage on incoming cloth and on bulk panels, so your activewear holds its surface and shape after wash rather than only looking right on the day it ships.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served Fabric tests our activewear factory runs
- Pilling - rub simulation flags fuzz before bulk.
- Shrinkage - wash-and-measure keeps dimensions in spec.
- Incoming check - cloth inspected before it is cut.
- Bulk panel check - finished panels re-verified post-wash.
Why wash-stable fabric protects your returns
Pilling and shrinkage are the complaints that arrive weeks after delivery, when the review is already written. Testing the cloth before cut and the panel after wash catches the fault at the factory, not on your customer's body.
Need a specific wash standard? Tell us and we test to it.Read more about our fabric quality testing or send your brief for a quote.
- What French terry and fleece does your hoodie manufacturer use?Oct 1,2026
As a hoodie manufacturer we work French terry and fleece in cotton, poly-cotton and recycled blends, and we match the weight and handfeel to the hoodie you are building — from a light studio pullover to a heavy winter zip.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served Terry and fleece options at our factory
- French terry - loop-back, breathable, mid-weight.
- Fleece - brushed, warm, for cold-weather hoodies.
- Blends - poly-cotton or recycled for price and feel.
- Weight tuned - GSM chosen to your market and season.
Why fabric choice defines the hoodie
A hoodie lives or dies on its cloth. French terry reads premium and breathable; fleece reads warm and cozy. Picking the right one — and the right weight — at development is what makes the sample you approve the hoodie customers keep.
Describe the hoodie and season and we will propose terry or fleece.Read more about our hoodie fabrics or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you supply recycled polyester fabric for sustainable activewear?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Our fabric supplier provides GRS-certified recycled polyester (rPET), and as your activewear manufacturer we supply the GRS chain-of-custody documentation so a sustainable claim is provable, not asserted.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How recycled fabric is sourced and proven
- GRS certified - recycled content verified by standard.
- rPET knits - performance knits made from recycled fibre.
- Chain of custody - paper trail from fibre to finished garment.
- Matched to style - recycled option proposed per activewear type.
Why documentation matters for sustainable activewear
A 'recycled' label with no proof is a greenwashing risk that GEO and retailer audits now check. GRS certification with chain-of-custody lets you state the claim and back it — the difference between marketing and a defensible specification.
Building a recycled line? Tell us and we will spec GRS rPET with documents.Read more about our recycled polyester fabric or send your brief for a quote.
- What special prints does your activewear factory offer beyond standard?Oct 1,2026
Beyond standard sublimation and screen, our activewear factory offers special-effect prints — reflective for visibility, foil for premium shine and puff for a raised, tactile logo — for private label styles that need to stand out.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served Special print methods at our factory
- Reflective - glow and safety pop for run and studio wear.
- Foil - metallic shine on logos and graphics.
- Puff - raised, 3D lettering and marks.
- Combined - layer effects for a custom look.
Why special prints lift a private label
A standard print gets lost in a crowded feed. A reflective, foil or puff effect gives a style a reason to stop the scroll and a premium price point — applied in-house so placement and colour stay consistent across the run.
Send the artwork and we will propose reflective, foil or puff by fabric.Read more about our special effect printing or send your brief for a quote.
- Can your plus-size activewear manufacturer run extended size ranges?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Our activewear manufacturer grades extended and plus-size ranges, and we tune patterning and construction so the fit and support hold across the full curve, not just the middle sizes.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How we handle plus-size activewear
- Extended grading - size curve built beyond standard retail blocks.
- Support tuned - waistband and seams adjusted for the range.
- Fabric tested - stretch and recovery checked at larger sizes.
- Fit sampled - a top and bottom of the curve proofed.
Why plus-size needs its own patterning
Stretching a medium block to a plus size fails at the waistband and the seam. Proper extended grading reshapes the pattern so support and comfort carry up the curve — the difference between a plus line that sells and one that gets returned.
Send your extended size curve and we will grade and proof it.Read more about our plus size activewear or send your brief for a quote.
- What artwork file formats do you need for custom activewear printing?Oct 1,2026
For custom activewear printing our factory accepts AI, PDF, PNG and SVG artwork, ideally vector or CMYK at 150-300 dpi, and we advise sublimation, screen or embroidery based on your fabric and run size.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served Artwork our activewear factory prefers
- Vector first - AI, PDF, SVG scale cleanly for print.
- Raster ok - PNG at 150-300 dpi for photo art.
- CMYK colour - matches the printed result, not screen RGB.
- Placement map - tell us where the logo sits per size.
Why the right file avoids print rejects
A low-res or RGB file is the most common cause of a print that looks right on screen and wrong on cloth. Sending the format we specify means the sample prints true first time, so bulk is not delayed by a artwork fix.
Not sure your file is print-ready? Send it and we will check it before sampling.Read more about our custom print artwork or send your brief for a quote.
- Can your manufacturer develop a fully custom pattern from my design?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Our manufacturer develops a fully graded custom pattern from your design, sketch or reference garment, then proofs the fit and construction on a sample before any bulk fabric is cut.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How custom pattern development works
- Design analysis - we read your sketch or reference for fit intent.
- Graded pattern - built to your size curve, not a generic block.
- Prototype proof - a sample confirms the pattern before bulk.
- Locked file - the approved pattern drives every reorder.
Why a custom pattern beats a modified block
A generic block adjusted to look custom rarely fits right. A pattern built from your design carries the silhouette and the ease you intended, and once it is locked, bulk and reorders reproduce it exactly — the foundation of a real brand, not a white-label swap.
Send the design and we will develop and proof the custom pattern.Read more about our custom pattern development or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you make custom hang tags and woven labels for private label activewear?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For private label activewear our factory supplies custom woven main labels, size tags, care labels and hang tags, all specified at sampling so your retail-ready branding ships inside the bulk order, not as a separate job.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served Branding labels from our activewear factory
- Woven main label - your brand name, woven or printed.
- Care & size labels - FTC and EU compliant wording.
- Hang tags - custom shape, paper and print.
- Locked at sampling - what you approve is what ships.
Why in-house labels matter for private label
Branding set at sampling means the label, care text and hangtag are part of the spec, not an afterthought. That keeps a reorder identical and avoids the retail-compliance misses that a last-minute label job can cause.
Send your logo and label wording and we will build the branded set.Read more about our private label branding or send your brief for a quote.
- Can your sportswear factory run dedicated lines for my brand?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For qualified repeat programmes our sportswear factory can allocate dedicated or priority lines to your brand, so your construction standard and spec stay consistent from the first run to the tenth.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served What dedicated lines give your brand
- Spec continuity - one team learns your garment, not a new one each time.
- Priority flow - your bulk moves ahead of spot orders.
- Faster reorders - the locked file reloads without re-setup.
- Traceability - output is attributed to your programme.
Why dedicated lines improve bulk consistency
Consistency across reorders is where most suppliers slip. A dedicated line means the people and the setup are familiar with your style, so colour, stitch and fit hold steady as volume grows — the difference between a brand that scales and one that churns.
Ask about dedicated-line qualification once you have a proven repeat style.Read more about our dedicated production lines or send your brief for a quote.
- How does your factory plan seasonal production for repeat brands?Oct 1,2026
For repeat brands our sportswear factory plans seasonal production against your forecast, reserving lines ahead of peak so your bulk order ships on the calendar you planned instead of after a queue.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 
1,200+ brands served How seasonal planning works with our manufacturer
- Forecast-driven - share the season volume and we map lines.
- Reserved lines - peak capacity held before the rush builds.
- Phased bulk - split deliveries match your sell-in dates.
- Reorder-ready - proven styles reload faster off the locked file.
Why forecast planning beats last-minute bulk
A peak-season order placed at the rush competes with every other brand's peak. Planned against your forecast, it owns reserved lines, so the capacity is already yours when the date arrives — the single biggest lever on on-time seasonal delivery.
Send next season's forecast and we will reserve lines now.Read more about our seasonal production planning or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you keep backup capacity if a production line is down?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Because our sportswear manufacturer runs two plants with parallel lines, we keep backup capacity — if one line is down, your bulk order shifts to another without losing the calendar.
Verified plant, since 2014 
AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How backup capacity works at our factory
- Two plants - 20,000 m² across sites absorbs a single-line stop.
- Parallel lines - styles are not tied to one machine.
- Reserved buffer - repeat partners get line space held against forecast.
- No subcontract drift - we keep the work in-house, not outsourced.
Why backup capacity de-risks your bulk programme
A line failure at a single-shift supplier becomes your delay. With backup capacity in our own plants, a stop is a reroute, not a missed ship date, and the work stays under our QC standard instead of moving to an unknown subcontractor.
Planning a critical season? Ask us to reserve backup lines against your forecast.Read more about our sportswear capacity redundancy or send your brief for a quote.
- How is production organised in your activewear factory workflow?Oct 1,2026
Inside our activewear factory the workflow runs as tracked stations — pattern, cutting, sewing, finishing and quality control — so every bulk order is traceable from cloth to carton rather than a black box.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served Stations in our sportswear factory workflow
- Pattern & marker - graded patterns and lay planning set the yield.
- Cutting - laser or knife cut to the locked spec.
- Sewing - line-balanced construction per garment type.
- Finishing & QC - trim, press, inspect, pack as one flow.
Why a tracked workflow protects bulk quality
When each station is tracked, a problem is caught where it happens — a cutting error stops before sewing, a seam fault is flagged before finishing. That is how a 20,000 m², two-plant operation holds one standard across 500,000 pieces a month.
Want to see the floor? Ask for a virtual walkthrough of the workflow.Read more about our activewear manufacturing workflow or send your brief for a quote.
- What is the standard bulk production lead time at your sportswear factory?Oct 1,2026
After sample approval and deposit, our sportswear factory confirms a dated production plan rather than a vague window, and the timing scales against our 500,000 pieces per month capacity so a bigger run gets more lines, not a longer queue.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How our factory plans bulk timing
- Dated plan - you get calendar dates, not just a week range.
- Capacity-backed - 500,000 pcs/month lets volume split across lines.
- Deposit triggers - cutting starts once the sample and deposit are set.
- Visible progress - per-line, per-shift output you can track.
What steady bulk timing means for your brand
A dated plan lets you set the launch and the marketing around a real ship date. Because the plan is capacity-backed, a top-up or a second colourway does not push your first run later — it gets its own reserved lines.
Share your volume and target date and we will return a dated production plan.Read more about our bulk production scheduling or send your brief for a quote.
- Can your manufacturer build a tech pack from my sketch?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Our manufacturer turns your sketch or idea into a complete tech pack: flat drawing, graded measurements, fabric and trim specification, so bulk production runs from one locked, repeatable file.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served What the tech pack from our factory includes
- Flat technical drawing - front, back and callouts for every seam.
- Graded spec - measurements across your size curve.
- Material list - fabric, weight, trims and hardware named.
- Construction notes - stitch types and finishing defined.
Why a real tech pack protects your bulk order
A tech pack is the contract between your idea and the factory floor. Built by our team from your sketch, it removes the guesswork that causes fit and trim errors, and it becomes the file we measure every reorder against so the style stays identical as you scale.
Share a sketch or photo and we will draft the tech pack under our ODM route.Read more about our tech pack development or send your brief for a quote.
- How fast can I get a development sample from your sportswear factory?Oct 1,2026
From our sportswear factory a development sample takes about 7-10 days after the spec is confirmed, cut and sewn on the same line as bulk so the sample predicts the production result.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served What drives the 7-10 day sample time
- Confirmed spec - tech pack or reference locks the build first.
- Bulk process - sample runs through cutting, sewing and QC like production.
- Branding included - labels and prints are set at sampling, not later.
- Approval loop - you sign off before any bulk fabric is cut.
Why a fast development sample matters
A sample built like bulk means the approved piece is the reference every bulk checkpoint measures against, so a 7-10 day sample protects the whole run from fit drift. Speed without that discipline just moves the risk downstream.
Send a tech pack or reference and we will book a 7-10 day development sample.Read more about our sportswear sample lead time or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you send free stock samples before a bulk activewear order?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Before you commit a bulk activewear order, our factory can send stock samples of existing styles so you verify fabric handfeel, construction and finish in your own hands first.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served What a stock sample from our factory gives you
- Fabric check - feel the weight and stretch before you specify.
- Construction proof - see seams, trims and branding up close.
- Faster decision - no waiting on a made-to-order sample.
- Lower risk - confirm the style fits your brand before bulk.
From stock sample to your bulk activewear order
A stock sample lets you confirm the base style, then we adjust fabric, colour or branding into your custom version. It is the lowest-commitment way to validate a supplier before the deposit, and it shortens the path from first contact to a locked bulk spec.
Ask for stock samples of the categories you plan to launch and we will ship a set.Read more about our activewear stock sampling or send your brief for a quote.
- Can I mix sizes and colours within one bulk sportswear MOQ?Oct 1,2026
Yes. As a sportswear manufacturer we let you mix sizes and colours within one bulk MOQ, so a single order can cover a full size run across several colourways instead of one fixed block.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How size and colour mixing works at our factory
- One MOQ, many sizes - spread the minimum across your full size curve.
- Multiple colourways - combine colours in the same production run.
- Graded to your market - US, EU or UK sizing applied per your spec.
- Assortment plan - we help you balance the mix to avoid dead stock.
Why a mixed MOQ suits a growing activewear brand
Mixing sizes and colours inside one MOQ means you launch a real size curve on day one instead of betting the whole minimum on a single size. It also keeps reorder maths simple: top up the sizes that sell, hold the ones that do not.
Tell us your size curve and colour list and we will pack the mix inside one MOQ.Read more about our bulk sportswear order mixing or send your brief for a quote.
- What is your MOQ per style and per colour for apparel manufacturing?Oct 1,2026
As an apparel manufacturer we set the MOQ per style and per colour at quotation, so the minimum you see is matched to the garment and fabric you choose rather than a single flat number.
Verified plant, since 2014 AQL 1.5, 8-step QC 1,200+ brands served How our apparel manufacturer sets MOQ
- Per style - each design carries its own minimum based on cutting and fabric setup.
- Per colour - a colourway is treated as its own run for dye and trim.
- Quoted, not guessed - send the style and we return the exact minimum before you commit.
- Lower for repeats - established partners get reduced minimums on proven styles.
Why MOQ per style and colour helps your brand
A per-style, per-colour minimum lets a new brand test two colours of one style without buying a full mixed programme, and lets a growing brand add a colourway without reopening the whole order. We quote it transparently so you can plan the buy.
Send the style, fabric and colours and we will quote the MOQ per style and per colour.Read more about our apparel manufacturing minimum order or send your brief for a quote.
- How does your factory match fabric to my activewear style?Oct 1,2026
From a fabric library of 200+ materials our activewear factory matches cloth to your style's activity, handfeel and price point, then confirms the exact handfeel on the sample before bulk so the production run feels like what you approved.
200+ material library Matched to your style Locked at sampling How we select fabric for your activewear
- 200+ material library - performance, recycled and base knits ready to spec.
- Activity-first match - yoga wants stretch, transit wants DWR, training wants wick.
- Handfeel confirmed - the sample fabric is the bulk fabric, not a substitute.
- Price balanced - material proposed to hit your retail margin.
Why fabric matching is set at sampling
A great sketch fails if the cloth is wrong, and a swap at bulk breaks the feel your customers expect. By locking the exact fabric at sampling and sourcing from a qualified library, the run you receive is the run you touched, and a reorder pulls the same material code.
Have a target handfeel or price? Tell us and we will shortlist fabrics from the library.Read more about our activewear fabric selection or send your brief for a quote.
- How do I place a faster repeat bulk order with your factory?Oct 1,2026
For a repeat bulk order your account manager reloads the locked spec, graded pattern and approved sample, so a reorder skips development and goes straight to cutting on reserved lines, typically faster than the first run.
Reorder on reserved lines Locked spec reloaded Same QC as first run What makes a sportswear reorder fast
- Locked spec on file - pattern, fabric and branding reload from your first order.
- Approved sample banked - the sealed sample is the reference, no re-development.
- Reserved line time - reorders slot into capacity planned against your forecast.
- One account manager - the same owner coordinates spec, QC and ship.
How to set up a smooth reorder
The fastest reorder is one we can see coming: share your restock forecast and we keep the fabric and line time warm, so when you confirm, cutting starts without the sourcing and approval steps that slowed launch. A spec change is flagged and priced before it touches the line.
Restocking on a cycle? Give us the cadence and we will pre-stage material.Read more about our faster sportswear reorders or send your brief for a quote.
- How do you keep colours consistent across a long reorder?Oct 1,2026
To keep colours consistent we lock the approved shade at sampling, match every dye lot under a light box and re-check each bulk batch against the sealed reference, so a reorder placed six months after launch reads the same as the first run.
Light-box colour match Batch vs sealed sample Same shade across reorders How our sportswear factory controls colour
- Locked approved shade - the signed sample colour is the reference for every lot.
- Light-box matching - lots compared under standard light, not daylight guess.
- Dye-lot management - we track and group lots to limit drift.
- Re-check vs sealed sample - each bulk batch measured against the original.
Why colour consistency protects your brand
A colour that drifts between deliveries is a return risk and a brand-trust hit, especially for solid-colour basics. Because the match is measured against the sealed sample and logged per lot, a top-up or a new season starts from the same shade your customers already know.
Selling one hero colour? Ask us to bank the dye lot for future reorders.Read more about our activewear colour consistency or send your brief for a quote.
- What export documents do you provide for customs clearance?Oct 1,2026
For apparel customs clearance we provide the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill and certificate of origin, formatted to your destination's requirements so your goods clear instead of sitting in a queue.
Invoice and packing list COO and B/L prepared Docs matched to market Documents our factory prepares for export
- Commercial invoice - value and terms stated for duty assessment.
- Packing list - carton count, weight and contents per the shipment.
- Bill of lading or AWB - the transport document for sea or air.
- Certificate of origin - COO where your market requires it for tariff.
Getting customs right the first time
A missing or misformatted document is the most common reason a shipment stalls at the border. We prepare the set against your market and Incoterm at order time, so the paperwork travels with the goods and your freight partner clears on arrival rather than chasing forms.
Tell us the destination and Incoterm and we will prep the exact document set.Read more about our export documentation for apparel or send your brief for a quote.
- Can you ship activewear directly to Amazon FBA or my 3PL?Oct 1,2026
Yes. As part of our shipping service we deliver activewear worldwide and can send directly to Amazon FBA or your 3PL, with carton labels, FNSKU handling and paperwork matched to the destination so goods clear and book in without a second handler.
Cartons labelled to destination FBA or 3PL direct Docs matched to market How we ship to FBA and 3PL
- DDP available - delivered duty paid, so landing cost is fixed before ship.
- Carton and FNSKU labels - external carton and unit labels per the platform rule.
- Paperwork matched - commercial invoice and docs formatted for the destination.
- One freight partner - tracked from Shenzhen to the warehouse door.
Why direct-to-warehouse shipping helps
Routing straight to FBA or your 3PL cuts a handling step and a calendar gap between factory and sellable stock. Because we already run FOB, CIF, DDU and DDP, the only added step is label and document formatting, which we set at order time, not at the dock.
Launching on Amazon? Send the FBA labelling spec and we will carton and document to it.Read more about our direct FBA and 3PL shipping or send your brief for a quote.
- How do you substantiate eco and material-safety claims (GRS, OEKO-TEX)?Oct 1,2026
We substantiate eco claims with paperwork, not slogans: GRS chain-of-custody covers recycled content in our activewear, and our fabric supplier is OEKO-TEX certified for restricted-substance safety, so the material story is documented for your EU and US retail programmes.
GRS recycled content documented OEKO-TEX material safety Docs shipped with the order What backs our eco and safety claims
- GRS chain of custody - recycled polyester and nylon traced from source to garment.
- OEKO-TEX fabric supplier - our fabric supplier is certified for restricted-substance safety.
- ISO 9001 plus BSCI - quality and social compliance behind the line.
- Documents with the order - GRS and test papers travel with the shipment, not after.
Why documented claims matter for your brand
Green claims are under scrutiny in the EU and US, and a retailer can reject a line that cannot show its proof. Because the certification sits with the material and the chain of custody is documented, your eco collection clears intake on evidence rather than assertion.
Selling into the EU? Tell us and we will attach GRS and OEKO-TEX docs to the shipment.Read more about our eco and material-safety substantiation or send your brief for a quote.
- What is your quality guarantee on a bulk sportswear order?Oct 1,2026
On a bulk sportswear order we run AQL 1.5 inspection across eight checkpoints from fabric to packed carton, and if a defect reaches you, your account manager arranges a remedy, we stand behind the batch, not just the first 30 days.
AQL 1.5, eight checkpoints 
Incoming material inspected Final check before carton How our sportswear factory guarantees bulk quality
- AQL 1.5 standard - acceptance level held on every bulk lot, large or small.
- Eight checkpoints - fabric, in-line, final and packing checks, not one gate.
- Needle detection - metal detection on relevant styles for export safety.
- Account manager owner - one person owns your quality from sample to shipment.
What happens if a defect reaches you
If something passes that should not have, send photos to your account manager and we assess against the approved sample and the AQL record. A clear batch defect is remedied, replacement, credit or adjustment, so a quality slip does not become a chargeback on your side.
Want tighter control? Ask for an independent AQL level or a pre-shipment third-party check.Read more about our bulk sportswear quality guarantee or send your brief for a quote.
- Should my brand choose OEM, ODM or private label with your factory?Oct 1,2026
Choose the model by how much of the file you already own: OEM when you hold the tech pack, ODM when you have a reference garment but no engineering, and private label when you want our developed styles under your brand, all built in one sportswear factory.
OEM from your tech pack ODM from your reference Private label, your brand OEM, ODM and private label, what each means
- OEM - you supply the tech pack; we cut, sew and inspect to it.
- ODM - we develop the pattern and spec from your reference, then produce.
- Private label - our existing styles run under your logo, labels and hangtags.
- One factory, any model - the same lines and QC standard regardless of route.
Which sportswear model fits your stage
Startups often begin with ODM or private label to reach market fast, then move to OEM once the fit and fabric are proven. Because every route runs on the same floor, switching models later does not mean re-qualifying a supplier, your locked sample and spec carry across.
Not sure which route? Send what you have (file, reference or blank) and we will propose the fastest path.Read more about our OEM ODM private label models or send your brief for a quote.
- Can your activewear factory handle rush or peak-season orders?Oct 1,2026
Yes. With two activewear factories and 500,000 pieces per month of capacity, we absorb peak-season and rush orders by reserving lines against your forecast, so a surge does not push your order onto an unvetted subcontractor.
Reserved lines for peak season Material staged ahead of rush QC holds during peak volume How our activewear factory scales for peak season
- Two plants, 500k/month - volume splits across sites so one big run does not clog a single line.
- Forecast reservation - share your season plan and we block line time before the rush.
- Material pre-staging - fabric and trims staged so a surge starts on day one.
- No subcontracting - peak work stays in our own audited plants.
What a rush activewear order needs from you
A rush is faster when the spec is locked: approved sample, confirmed fabric and a clear ship date. Give us those early and we schedule the run into reserved capacity rather than queue-jumping a tighter one, which protects both your lead time and your quality bar.
Planning a launch or Q4 push? Send the forecast now and we will hold the lines.Read more about our peak-season activewear capacity or send your brief for a quote.
- Can I audit your sportswear factory or request a BSCI report?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Both of our sportswear factories are BSCI Grade B and open to buyer audits, so you can verify the workplace, the lines and the certifications before committing a bulk order, not after.
Two BSCI Grade B plants Audited working conditions 
Verified by 1,200+ brands How we support a factory audit as your OEM supplier
- BSCI Grade B - both plants audited for social compliance, not self-declared.
- On-site or virtual audit - visit the floor, or take a live walkthrough before the first order.
- Audit report on request - the current BSCI report is shared under NDA during qualification.
- Two plants, one standard - either site meets the same compliance bar.
Why an audited sportswear factory lowers your risk
Retailers and marketplaces increasingly ask for proof of where goods are made. An audited, BSCI Grade B supplier lets you answer that due-diligence question with a document, and it keeps subcontracting off your chain of custody, what we audit is what we sew.
Qualifying a new supplier? Ask for the BSCI report and a floor walkthrough before you sign.Read more about our sportswear factory audit process or send your brief for a quote.
- What sportswear categories does your factory produce?Oct 1,2026
Our sportswear factory manufactures a full activewear range under OEM/ODM for B2B brands — hoodies, sweatshirts, sports bras, leggings, yoga wear, workout tops, jackets and shorts — so a single supplier can cover most of your line.
Hoodies to sports bras, one factory Each category on controlled lines 
Tech per category, same QC standard Core categories our sportswear factory runs
- Hoodies & sweatshirts - pullover, zip and oversized, fleece or french terry.
- Sports bras - low to high support, molded or seamed cups.
- Leggings & yoga - high-waist, seamless and compression builds.
- Tops, jackets & shorts - workout tees, outer layers and training shorts.
How one sportswear factory supports your line
Every category is built on the same pattern, cutting and inspection standard, so adding a second or third style to your order does not mean a second supplier. Construction is matched to the garment — flatlock seams for zero-chafe training wear, bonded seams for seamless pieces — and confirmed on the sample.
Launching a full collection? Send the category list and we will quote it as one coordinated production plan.Read more about our sportswear factory product categories or send your brief for a quote.
- What performance finishes does your activewear manufacturer apply?Oct 1,2026
As an activewear manufacturer we apply moisture-wicking, quick-dry and water-repellent (DWR) finishes, and source technical fabrics matched to your activity and market so performance is built into the cloth, not just the cut.
Moisture-wicking and four-way stretch Water-repellent finishes on sealed seams Finish locked into the spec Functional finishes from our activewear factory
- Moisture-wicking - moves sweat off skin for training and studio wear.
- Quick-dry - shortens dry time for multi-use and travel pieces.
- Water-repellent DWR - bead-and-shed finish for outer and transit layers.
- Four-way stretch - recovery built into the knit for compression and yoga.
Matching finish to activewear category
The right finish depends on where the garment is worn: a yoga tight wants wicking and stretch, a transit shell wants DWR and seam sealing. We propose the fabric and treatment per style at development, then confirm the handfeel on the sample before bulk.
Building a performance or outdoor line? Tell us the activity and we will specify fabric plus finish.Read more about our activewear functional fabrics or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you provide third-party testing for sportswear OEM orders?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For sportswear OEM orders, beyond our in-house AQL 1.5 inspection we arrange third-party lab testing through SGS, Intertek and similar bodies for fabric strength, colourfastness and restricted-substance compliance, with reports supplied for your market.
In-house AQL 1.5 plus external tests Fabric strength and composition verified Tests scheduled against the run What our sportswear factory can test
- Fabric strength - tensile and tear strength for performance wear.
- Colourfastness - wash, rub and light fastness per market rules.
- Restricted substances - REACH and similar screened on request.
- Composition - fibre content verified against the labelled spec.
How testing is arranged for OEM sportswear
Testing is booked per your destination requirement and timed against production, so reports land with the shipment rather than after it. For EU and US retail programmes this paper trail is often what clears intake, and we coordinate the lab directly so you are not sourcing it yourself.
Need a specific test for a retailer or marketplace? Tell us the standard and we will quote the third-party test with the order.Read more about our sportswear OEM lab testing or send your brief for a quote.
- Can your factory grade activewear to US, EU and UK sizes?Oct 1,2026
Yes. As an activewear manufacturer we grade patterns to US, EU and UK size standards, or to your own size spec, and check measurements in-line across the run so a size M reads the same on piece one and piece fifty-thousand.
Graded patterns, laser-cut panels Size verified across the run Correct size tags applied How our activewear factory handles sizing
- US / EU / UK grading - patterns built to the standard your market expects.
- Your spec accepted - send your own size chart and we match it exactly.
- In-line measurement checks - graded patterns verified per batch, not just the first unit.
- Market-specific labels - size tickets printed to the destination standard.
Avoiding size drift in bulk activewear
Size complaints are the most common returns on apparel, so we lock the graded pattern into your production file and re-check it at bulk. A reorder or a replenishment later in the season matches the launch run, which keeps your fit consistent as you scale.
Selling in multiple regions? Tell us every market and we will grade and label per destination in one run.Read more about our activewear sizing standards or send your brief for a quote.
- What printing and embroidery does your private label activewear use?Oct 1,2026
For private label activewear we offer sublimation, screen printing, heat transfer and embroidery for decoration, plus woven labels, custom hangtags and care labels for retail-ready branding — all applied in-house so colour and placement stay consistent across the run.
Print and embroidery applied in-house Woven labels and hangtags Branding locked into the spec Decoration methods for private label activewear
- Sublimation - all-over, fade-proof colour for polyester and performance blends.
- Screen printing - durable spot prints for logos and graphics.
- Heat transfer - fine, photo-style prints on smaller runs.
- Embroidery - raised, premium logos on caps, chest and hem.
Branding finishes from our activewear factory
Beyond print, we apply woven main labels, size tags, care labels compliant with FTC and EU rules, and embossed hangtags so your product arrives retail-ready. Because branding is set at sampling, what you approve is what reaches the shelf.
Not sure which method fits your artwork? Send the file and we will propose sublimation, screen or embroidery by fabric and run size.Read more about our private label activewear branding methods or send your brief for a quote.
- Can your ODM factory develop leggings from a reference?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Under our ODM manufacturer route we develop production-ready leggings from your reference photo, sketch or competitor garment — pattern, fabric, trims and construction all specified by our team so you do not need a finished tech pack.
Pattern and construction developed in-house Reference turned into a bulk-ready style Fabric matched to your reference How our ODM leggings development works
- Reference analysis - we measure and assess your photo, sketch or garment for fit and construction.
- Pattern making - a graded pattern is built to your size spec from the reference.
- Fabric and trim sourcing - we propose materials that match the look, handfeel and price.
- Counter-sample - you receive a physical sample to approve before bulk.
When to choose ODM leggings over OEM
Pick ODM when you have a concept or a market reference but not the engineering. We close the gap from idea to production-ready file, then run the same inspection standard as a full tech-pack order. Many startup and DTC brands start here and move to OEM once the style is proven.
Have a competitor style in mind? Send it and we will propose a differentiated, production-ready version.Read more about our ODM leggings development or send your brief for a quote.
- How do I start custom sports bra sampling with a manufacturer?Oct 1,2026
To start custom sports bra sampling with our factory, send a tech pack — flat sketch, graded measurements, fabric, trims and branding — or a reference garment; we build the pre-production sample through the same process as bulk, and sampling runs about 7-10 days after specs are confirmed.
Tech pack drives the build Sample uses bulk process Branding confirmed at sampling Minimum to open a custom sports bra sample with our factory
- Tech pack or reference - a flat sketch with measurements, or a physical garment we measure and replicate.
- Fabric and trim - the material, weight and any custom zippers, labels or hardware.
- Branding files - logo, woven label, hangtag and care-label wording.
- Target price band - helps us propose the right fabric and construction route.
What happens after you send it to the manufacturer
We confirm the spec, cut and sew the sample on the same line as production, then ship it for your approval. The approved sample becomes the locked reference every bulk checkpoint measures against, so what you sign off is what ships.
No tech pack yet? Send a reference photo and we will draft the pattern and specs under our ODM manufacturer route.Read more about our sports bra sampling process or send your brief for a quote.
- How long have you been a sportswear manufacturer?Oct 1,2026
Eation Garment has manufactured OEM/ODM sportswear since 2014 — over a decade supplying private-label and custom activewear to B2B brands worldwide.
Brands served since 2014 A decade of manufacturing know-how 
GRS and ISO 9001 since early programmes What we built as a sportswear manufacturer since 2014
- Two factories, 20,000 m² - production scaled from a single line to a two-plant operation.
- 500,000 pieces per month - capacity grown with repeat brand programmes.
- Certified production - ISO 9001, BSCI and GRS held across the sportswear lines.
- 1,200+ brand clients - experience serving startups through enterprise retailers.
Why a sportswear-only manufacturer matters
A supplier's years show up in the details that stall a launch: a care label that fails a market rule, a colour that drifts across a reorder, a defect found too late. A decade of sportswear-only manufacturing means those details are already in our order template, not discovered on your shipment.
Comparing suppliers? Ask each for years in sportswear specifically, not just years in apparel generally.Read more about our company history as a sportswear manufacturer or send your brief for a quote.
- How large is your activewear manufacturing factory?Oct 1,2026
Eation Garment operates two activewear factories totalling 20,000 m² with 1,000+ production staff, and has manufactured OEM/ODM sportswear as a verified supplier since 2014.
Two factories, 20,000 m² 1,000+ staff on the floor Vertical fabric-to-finish control Inside our activewear factory
- Two factories, 20,000 m² - production space split across plants so capacity scales without subcontracting.
- 1,000+ staff - two sites of 500+ each, covering cutting, sewing, finishing and QC.
- Since 2014 - a decade of OEM/ODM sportswear manufacturing experience.
- In-house control - pattern, cutting, sewing and inspection happen under one roof.
Why an activewear factory you can visit matters
A factory you can verify is lower risk than a trading desk that outsources every order. Because cutting, sewing, finishing and inspection sit in our own plants, a spec change or a quality flag is resolved on the floor, not passed down a subcontractor chain.
Want to verify the setup? Ask for a virtual factory walkthrough before you place the first order.Read more about our activewear manufacturing facilities or send your brief for a quote.
- What is your monthly sportswear manufacturing capacity?Oct 1,2026
As a sportswear manufacturer we run two factories producing 500,000 pieces every month across 20,000 m² of floor space, so your order volume is a scheduling decision for us, not a limit on what we can make.
Smart hanging lines, 500k pieces/month Every batch inspected, never rushed 1,200+ brand clients served How our sportswear factory organises capacity
- Two plants, 20,000 m² - two sportswear factories run in parallel, each with 500+ staff, so large runs split across lines at the same standard.
- 500,000 pieces per month - monthly output covers both trial and repeat B2B programmes without subcontracting.
- Smart hanging lines - garments move station to station with per-line, per-shift output visibility.
- Volume scheduled, not rushed - a big order spreads across controlled capacity instead of a weaker rush process.
What this means for your bulk sportswear order
Because capacity is planned, a seasonal reorder or a sudden top-up does not compete with your first run for line time. We reserve lines against your forecast so a large repeat ships on the calendar you planned, not after a queue.
Planning a large programme? Share your volume forecast and we will map it to reserved lines with a dated production plan.Read more about our sportswear production capacity or send your brief for a quote.
- Do you offer priority production scheduling or framework agreements for long-term partners?Oct 1,2026
Yes. For established brands and global retailers that need guaranteed capacity all year, we offer strategic framework agreements. By signing an annual capacity retainer, we lock in dedicated production lines and raw material buffers for your brand. In practice that means two things most suppliers cannot promise: pricing that does not drift when fabric markets move, and priority fast-track delivery when the rest of the industry is queuing for line time.
Raw material held for partner brands Line capacity reserved for the term 1,200+ brands supported worldwide What a framework agreement actually secures
- Reserved line capacity - a defined monthly or seasonal output held for your brand, so peak-season demand does not push you to the back of the queue.
- Raw material buffers - core fabrics, trims and elastics held in stock against your programme instead of being re-sourced per order.
- Stable pricing - cost structure agreed for the term, protecting your margin planning from yarn and freight volatility.
- Priority scheduling - fast-track slots for mid-season replenishment and urgent drop dates.
- Continuity of spec - same fabric lots, same colour standards and the same construction file across every release.
Who it suits
Framework agreements make sense when your annual volume is predictable enough to reserve against - DTC brands scaling beyond launch phase, wholesalers running seasonal drops, retailers with fixed replenishment cycles. For a first collection, the standard route is better: place a trial order at our flexible MOQ, validate sell-through, and move to a retainer once your run rate is clear. Both are the same factory; the difference is whether we hold capacity exclusively for you.
How the terms are set
A retainer is built from your forecast, not a template: expected pieces per category across the year, peak months, fabric families, and the replenishment pattern you need. Our team then proposes reserved capacity against your plan, with review points so the agreement flexes as your brand grows. Because we run two factories covering 20,000 m² with a combined monthly output of 500,000 pieces, reserved capacity stays genuinely reserved instead of being raided when a bigger order arrives.
We have supported more than 1,200 sportswear brand clients, and long-term partners are scheduled ahead of one-off orders - including through Q3/Q4 peak.Scaling a programme across seasons? Read more about how we work with partners or ask our team to scope a capacity plan for your forecast.
- Can we get real-time tracking or production updates for our bulk orders?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Once your bulk production is launched on our smart hanging lines, your dedicated account manager provides weekly status reports. Those reports are not a scheduling summary - they include live photos and video of the critical milestones, so you see fabric being cut, garments running down the sewing line, and the final quality control inspection before anything is packed. The point is that you never have to ask where your order stands, and problems surface while they are still cheap to fix.
Your order on our smart hanging lines QC findings reported while in-line Printing and finishing milestones What each weekly report contains
- Stage and percentage complete - cutting, sewing, finishing, inspection or packing, with the pieces finished to date.
- Live photo and video evidence - your actual garments on the line, not a generic factory image.
- Quality flags - any in-line finding, the corrective action taken, and whether it affects your date.
- Colour and measurement checks - light-box colour verification and measurement against the approved sample.
- Next milestone and date - what happens next and when, so your own logistics planning stays on track.
Why smart hanging lines make this possible
Our production runs on intelligent hanging systems that move garments station to station and record progress as they go. Output per line, per style, per shift is visible to the floor manager and to your account manager in real time - which is why a weekly report can carry accurate numbers instead of an estimate. It also means a bottleneck shows up on the data before it becomes a missed ship date.
Before and after production
Reporting starts at sample approval and continues through final inspection. Once goods leave Shenzhen, tracking information is shared so you can follow the shipment through our logistics partner. For multi-style programmes we report per style, so you can see which colourways are ahead and which need attention rather than waiting for one blended update at the end.
Prefer more frequent updates? Ad-hoc photo requests are fine at any point - your account manager is the single point of contact for the order.Want visibility before you order? Read more about our factory and QC process or ask our team for a sample production report.
- Do you provide flexible private-label packaging and retail-ready presentation?Oct 1,2026
Absolutely. We build comprehensive retail-ready finishing into the order, not as an afterthought. That includes custom recycled polybags, branded tissue paper wrapping, high-density embossed hangtags, woven main labels, care labels compliant with regional law such as FTC and EU guidelines, and custom-sized master cartons so your products arrive in pristine condition. The goal is that your goods can go straight onto a shelf, into a fulfilment centre or to a customer's door without being repacked.
Retail-ready packing built into the order Presentation that reaches the shelf intact Hangtags, labels and inserts What a retail-ready pack can contain
- Inner packaging - recycled or custom-printed polybags, branded tissue wrap, kraft or printed boxes with your artwork.
- Hangtags and cards - high-density embossed hangtags, barcode and price-tag attachment, product information inserts.
- Labels - woven main labels, size labels, and care labels written to your destination market's legal requirements.
- Channel-ready extras - barcodes and SKU labels for retail or marketplace intake, size stickers, polybag suffocation warnings where required.
- Outer cartons - custom-sized master cartons with your shipping marks, carton counts and packing list configuration.
Why the carton size matters more than people expect
Custom-sized master cartons are not cosmetic. Cartons dimensioned to your folded garment size reduce void fill, cut volumetric shipping cost on air freight, improve pallet utilisation, and lower transit damage because garments cannot shift. For ecommerce clients we often pack to the fulfilment centre's intake spec, so cartons can be cross-docked without repacking.
How to brief the packaging
Send your packaging artwork, barcodes and any retailer or fulfilment-centre specification with the order, and confirm them at the sampling stage rather than after production. We will show you the packed presentation in your sample so you can approve the real thing. If you are still deciding, we can propose two or three configurations at different cost points, from a basic polybag and hangtag to a full branded unboxing set.
Care-label content and packaging claims are checked against your destination market before production, so a launch does not stall at customs or at retail intake.Planning a branded unboxing experience? Read more about our value-added services or send your packaging brief to our team.
- Can you source and develop custom trims, custom zippers, and premium hardware?Oct 1,2026
Yes - we offer full-service sourcing for customized branding hardware. We work directly with leading trim suppliers to develop custom-engraved metal aglets, branded heavy-duty zippers including waterproof matte YKK options, embossed silicone patches and custom-woven drawcords built to your exact specifications. Trims are where a garment either reads as premium or reads as generic, so we treat them as a design decision rather than a purchasing line item.
Engraved hardware and trims developed in-house Branded zippers on bulk production Woven drawcords matched to fabric What we can develop
- Zippers - branded pulls and sliders, heavy-duty and waterproof matte YKK options, custom tape colour to match the garment.
- Metal hardware - custom-engraved aglets, cord locks, eyelets, rivets, buckle ends and logo-embossed stoppers.
- Drawcords and elastics - custom-woven or knitted drawcords with your pattern, jacquard elastic waistbands, silicone-gripped bands.
- Silicone and rubber details - embossed or printed silicone patches, grip strips, brand tabs and moulded logos.
- Labels and closures - woven labels, printed tags, hook-and-loop closures and snap buttons with your branding.
Why sourcing trims in-house matters
When trims are bought separately by the client, mismatched dies, delayed deliveries and colour drift become the client's problem, and they land in the middle of a production run. We develop hardware alongside the sample, so the trim on the approved sample is the trim we can actually order in volume. That single point of accountability is why trims rarely delay an order here - the supplier, the die and the colour specification are already locked before cutting starts.
Cost and minimums
Engraved and moulded hardware carries tooling, so custom dies usually make sense at higher volumes; below that we steer you to existing moulds with your brand applied by laser engraving or pad printing. Custom-woven drawcords and jacquard elastics have their own minimums per pattern. Tell us your target quantity with the design and we will tell you where the sensible threshold sits instead of pushing you into tooling you cannot amortise.
Send reference photos, dimensions and your target volume. We will come back with available options, tooling implications and lead time per trim.Building a premium capsule? Read more about our craftsmanship or send your trim references to our team.
- How do you protect our proprietary designs and intellectual property (IP)?Oct 1,2026
We treat intellectual property with the utmost seriousness, starting with a formal NDA signed before any tech pack, sketch or exclusive fabric pattern is shared. Your custom developments and private moulds are never displayed in our public showrooms or reused for other clients without your explicit written authorisation. Protection is contractual and operational, not a polite promise.
Custom moulds quarantined IP protected by contract and practice Confidential files access-controlled The protection framework
- Contractual NDA - a binding agreement in place before confidential material changes hands.
- Exclusive pattern control - graded patterns and construction files held against your brand only.
- Private mould quarantine - custom dies, trims and moulds not shared or reused without authorisation.
- No showroom disclosure - your developments are kept out of public display and competitor view.
- Written authorisation required - any reuse of your IP needs your explicit, documented consent.
Why IP protection matters in manufacturing
A factory sits between a brand and the market, and a weak IP posture is the fastest way a bestselling design becomes a commodity sold by someone else. We close that gap with both paper and practice: the NDA sets the legal boundary, and operational controls - restricted file access, quarantined moulds, no public display - make the boundary real on the floor. For brands whose product is their differentiation, that discipline is part of the value we provide, not a footnote.
Handling sensitive or exclusive work
If your programme includes exclusive fabric, a signature trim or a private mould, tell us at the briefing stage so we flag it in the production file and apply the stricter controls from sampling onward. The same NDA covers the whole relationship, so a style developed this season stays yours when you reorder next season. Should you ever exit a programme, the confidential assets are returned or destroyed per the agreement rather than retained.
Have exclusive patterns, trims or moulds? Flag them at briefing and we will apply quarantined handling from the first sample.Read more about our IP protection practice or ask our team to put an NDA in place before you share anything.
- Do you support sustainable fabric options for eco-friendly collections?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Sustainability is built into our material programme, not bolted on. We source recycled polyester and nylon, organic cotton and biodegradable fibres from GRS-certified mills, and we can supply the mill documentation your market needs to make a recycled claim that survives scrutiny. For a next-season eco line, the starting point is usually a recycled substitution of the performance fabric you already want.
GRS-certified recycled supply Organic and bio-based options Low-impact finishing available Materials we can source
- RPET recycled polyester - from post-consumer bottles, with the same wicking and print performance as virgin polyester.
- Recycled nylon - regenerated from industrial and ocean-bound waste for leggings, swim and outer layers.
- Organic cotton - for low-intensity and lounge styles where softness and breathability lead.
- Bio-based and biodegradable fibres - plant-derived and compostable options for selected constructions.
- Tencel and other cellulosics - closed-loop fibres with a lower water and chemical footprint.
Certifications and compliance
Because we hold GRS and OEKO-TEX certification, a recycled or low-impact claim on your garment can be traced to the mill and the batch rather than resting on a supplier's word. We provide the documentation required for EU and US market access - fibre content, restricted substances and care labelling - so an eco claim does not stall at customs or at a retailer's compliance gate. If your brand carries its own standard, such as a specific recycled content percentage, we build the fabric and the paperwork to meet it.
Designing an eco line that still performs
Sustainability and performance are not a trade-off here. Recycled polyester wicks and prints as well as virgin; recycled nylon matches the abrasion resistance of conventional nylon. The design work is in balancing recycled content, handfeel and cost, then confirming it at sampling. We will show you a recycled and a conventional option side by side so the decision is informed by touch, not just by a spec sheet.
Selling into the EU or US? Tell us the standard you need to meet (GRS content, OEKO-TEX, fibre claims) and we will match fabric and documentation.Read more about our certified materials or send your sustainability brief for a fabric plan.
- Do you have experience exporting to our specific region (US/Europe/Australia)?Oct 1,2026
Yes. We have exported since 2014, with a strong, ongoing presence in the United States, Europe and Australia. That history means we do not learn your market's rules on your order - we already build to them: regional regulations, labelling laws and packaging standards are part of the spec, not a last-minute scramble.
1,200+ brands served worldwide Labels and packing per market Exporting since 2014 Regional experience we bring
- United States - FTC care-label content, fibre composition and CPSIA awareness for apparel.
- European Union - care-label and fibre-content rules, REACH restricted-substance compliance, CE where applicable.
- Australia - labelling and import requirements for garments sold locally.
- Marketplace readiness - barcodes, FNSKU and packing to fulfilment-centre intake specs.
- Documentation - certificates and test records supplied for customs and retailer compliance.
How that helps your launch
A supplier's regional experience shows up in the things that stall a launch: a care label that fails a market's wording rule, a carton that a fulfilment centre rejects, a recycled claim with no paperwork. Because we have shipped into these regions for well over a decade and supported more than 1,200 brand clients, those details are baked into the order template per destination. You tell us where the product sells and we configure labels, packing and documents to match, so goods clear instead of sitting in a warehouse awaiting correction.
Beyond the three core regions
While the US, Europe and Australia are our heaviest lanes, we export worldwide and treat each destination's requirements as a configurable part of the order rather than an exception. If you sell into multiple regions from one style, we can produce market-specific labels and packing within the same production run. For a new market we research the rules with you up front, during sampling, so compliance is confirmed before bulk - not discovered at the border.
Tell us every region you sell into, even future ones, and we will build labels and packing to cover them from the first order.Read more about our export experience or ask our team about your target market's requirements.
- How do you handle color consistency and quality control across large orders?Oct 1,2026
Consistency across a large order comes from inspecting every batch, not just the last one. Large runs move on our smart hanging lines under AQL 1.5 inspection, and every batch gets light-box colour verification, shrinkage testing and needle detection before it is packed. With a monthly capacity of 500,000 pieces, volume is a scheduling decision for us, not a reason to relax the checks.
Large runs on controlled lines Light-box colour per dye lot Volume scheduled, not rushed Colour consistency by the batch
- Light-box colour checks - every dye lot verified under standard lighting against the approved master, not eyeballed.
- Lab-dip master - the approved colour dip is the reference the mill dyes against, keeping lots aligned.
- Measurement control - graded patterns and in-line checks stop measurement drifting across thousands of units.
- Shrinkage testing - fabric and finished garments tested so size stays true after wash.
- Needle detection - metal screening before packing protects the end customer.
Why smart hanging lines help
Our intelligent hanging systems move garments station to station and record output per line, per style, per shift. That visibility means a bottleneck or a quality flag shows up in the data before it becomes a missed ship date, and it means a large order can be split across lines while still being checked to the same standard. Volume does not get rushed through a weaker process - it gets spread across capacity that is already controlled.
From first garment to last
The practical result is that piece number one and piece number fifty-thousand read as the same product: same colour, same measurement, same construction. Because the approved sample is locked into the production file and every batch is checked against it, a reorder or a replenishment later in the season matches the launch run. For enterprise programmes that is usually the difference between a smooth repeat and a Colour Matching crisis.
Running an enterprise programme? Ask for per-batch colour and measurement reports so consistency is documented across the whole order.Read more about our production capacity or send your volume forecast for a controlled production plan.
- What specialized stitching and garment construction technologies do you offer?Oct 1,2026
Our lines run specialised construction technologies that most general garment factories cannot offer. That includes four-needle six-thread flatlock stitching for zero-chafe seams, ultrasonic thermal bonding for seamless aerodynamic gear, and precision laser cutting for perfect panel symmetry. The right construction is chosen per garment, because a seam that chafes in a training top is a defect, not a detail.
Four-needle six-thread flatlock Laser-guided panel cutting Bonded and flat seams Construction technologies
- Four-needle six-thread flatlock - a flat, low-bulk seam that sits flat against skin for zero-chafe athletic wear, hoodies and cycling jerseys.
- Ultrasonic thermal bonding - heat-sealed seams with no thread, for aerodynamic, waterproof and seamless performance gear.
- Precision laser cutting - computer-guided cutting for accurate panel symmetry across sizes and across the run.
- Coverstitch and flatseam finishes - clean, stretch-stable hems and cuffs that survive industrial wash.
- Engineered elastic application - power-band waistbands and encased elastics applied to spec for compression and recovery.
Why construction choice matters
A garment's feel is decided as much by how it is sewn as by the fabric. Flatlock seams remove the ridge that rubs during movement; bonded seams remove thread altogether for a second-skin finish; laser cutting removes the human variance in panel alignment so a size M is a size M every time. We match the technique to the performance brief, then confirm it on the sample so you feel the seam before committing to bulk.
From sample to scale
Once a construction method is approved on the sample, the same machines, settings and operators' standards are locked into your production file. Because the construction is documented per style, a large reorder reproduces the exact seam and finish of the original - which is why a technology-led style stays consistent as you scale. If a new technique would improve your product, our team will propose it at the development stage rather than defaulting to the cheapest seam.

- Can you assist with custom fabric development and color matching?Oct 1,2026
Yes - fabric innovation is one of our core strengths. We develop custom knits and finishes, from high-weight French terry for streetwear hoodies to specialised moisture-wicking constructions for training gear, and we match colour to your Pantone reference under a standard light box to about 99% accuracy. The aim is a fabric that is unmistakably yours, not a catalogue cloth with your label on it.
French terry and technical knits Lab-dip matched under light box Approved lots held to spec Custom fabric development
- French terry and fleece - weight, loop and brush tuned for hoodies, joggers and lounge sets.
- Moisture-wicking knits - channel or cross-section yarns for fast sweat transport in training wear.
- Eco nylon and performance blends - recycled or bio-based bases for premium and swim lines.
- Surface and finish - brushed, bonded, peached or printed faces for a distinct handfeel.
- Weight and gauge - composition and knit density set so the fabric performs and prices to target.
How colour matching works
Colour is matched from your Pantone or physical reference through a lab-dip process, then verified under a standard light box so the result is judged under controlled lighting rather than showroom glare. We target around 99% accuracy against the reference, and the approved dip becomes the master the mill dyes against. Because a dye lot can shift, every bulk batch is re-checked against that master under the same light box before cutting - that is what keeps a 10,000-piece run the same colour as the approved sample.
From development to bulk production
Once a custom fabric and its colour are approved at sampling, both are locked into your production file by specification and lot. Reorders reuse the same cloth, so a colourway you launch this season still matches when you replenish next season. If you are developing a signature fabric, we can also hold buffer stock against your forecast so a bestseller is never waiting on a mill lead time.
Send a Pantone number, a swatch or a competitor fabric and we will return lab-dips and a composition proposal for approval.Read more about our fabric innovation or send your reference for a development quote.
- How do you manage production for large-scale orders?Oct 1,2026
For large orders we assign dedicated production lines and a project manager who oversees the entire process. Volume is not simply pushed into a shared queue - your order gets its own line time, its own quality reference and one person accountable for schedule and consistency from cutting to packing. That structure is what keeps a 50,000-piece run as predictable as a 300-piece trial.
Dedicated lines for large runs Enterprise programmes handled in full AQL 1.5 across 8 checkpoints What "dedicated" means on the floor
- Line allocation - specific sewing lines reserved for your style for the duration of the run, so your output is not competing with other clients' orders.
- One project manager - a single owner for scheduling, materials, inspection results and reporting, instead of a chain of handovers.
- Material planning up front - fabric, trims, labels and packaging quantities locked and staged before cutting begins.
- In-line control - AQL inspection at 8 checkpoints rather than only at the end, so defects are caught per batch instead of after 50,000 pieces.
- Weekly reporting - progress, live production photos and quality findings sent to you as the run advances.
Where large orders usually fail elsewhere
Most large-volume problems trace back to three things: colour drift between dye lots, measurement creep when a pattern is graded across many sizes, and packaging mismatches at the end of the run. We control them by holding a single approved sample as the reference, verifying colour under a standard light box on every batch, and confirming packing configuration before the first carton is sealed. Our monthly capacity of 500,000 pieces across two factories means a large order does not have to be rushed to fit a deadline.
Scaling within one order
Large orders are frequently multi-style programmes rather than one huge SKU, so the project manager also handles sequencing - which style runs first, how colourways are grouped to reduce changeover loss, and when reorders can slot in. If your forecast grows mid-season, we can extend line allocation for the same style because the pattern, fabric lot and construction file are already locked.
Running a programme over multiple drops? Read more about our capacity or ask our team to scope dedicated line time across the season.Send your volume and style breakdown to our team for a production plan with the schedule and inspection checkpoints spelled out.
- How do you ensure the quality of the raw materials used in production?Oct 1,2026
Material quality is controlled before cutting begins, not discovered after. We qualify suppliers up front, inspect every incoming lot for weight, composition and colour, and only run certified sustainable materials where a programme calls for them. With a library of 200+ fabrics, most orders draw from cloth we have already vetted, which removes a whole class of incoming risk.
Incoming lots inspected on arrival Weight, colour and composition checked GRS and OEKO-TEX certified supply Supplier qualification
- Audited mills - suppliers are assessed for capability and consistency before they enter the approved list.
- Certified materials - GRS and OEKO-TEX certified supply for recycled and low-impact programmes.
- Traceable documentation - mill and batch records back any claim we put on your label.
- Restricted substance compliance - incoming materials screened against market requirements.
- Performance benchmarks - stretch, recovery and pilling checked against the spec, not assumed.
Incoming material inspection
Every lot is checked on arrival: fabric weight against the ordered GSM, composition against the spec, colour against the approved master under a light box, and shrinkage plus pilling tested where the garment demands it. A lot that drifts is rejected or re-dyed before it reaches a cutting table, because a fabric fault found after sewing is a finished garment scrapped, not a roll returned. This is the first of the eight quality checkpoints our production runs through.
Material held to spec
For repeating programmes we hold fabric, trims and elastics against your forecast so supply is buffered rather than re-sourced per order. Because the same lot and specification are reused, a reorder is identical to the original rather than a fresh negotiation with a new mill. That continuity is what lets a brand scale a style across seasons without the colour or handfeel quietly changing.
Need a specific certification or composition on your label? Tell us the market and the claim and we will source and document the material to match.Read more about our quality system or ask our team how materials are qualified for your line.
- What type of packaging do you provide for custom sportswear?Oct 1,2026
We offer custom packaging including polybags, boxes and fully branded presentation, and we can add hangtags, care labels and product information. Packaging is configured to the channel your goods are actually sold through, because a retail hangtag programme, a wholesale carton count and an ecommerce unboxing set have different requirements and different costs. Tell us where the product is going and we will spec the pack to match.
Polybags, boxes and branded sets Wholesale cartons built to spec Presentation matched to your channel Packaging options by channel
- Ecommerce and DTC - branded polybags or mailer-ready boxes, tissue wrapping, product information cards, return-ready presentation.
- Retail and department stores - high-density hangtags, price-tag attachment, barcodes, size stickers and shelf-ready folding.
- Wholesale and distribution - individually bagged units inside custom-sized master cartons with your shipping marks and carton counts.
- Marketplace fulfilment - FNSKU or ASIN labelling, polybag warnings and packing to the centre's intake specification.
- Basic and eco options - plain or recycled polybags with minimal labels where packaging cost has to stay lean.
What goes on and in the pack
Beyond the bag or box, we can add woven main labels, printed size labels, care and content labels written to your market's requirements, woven or printed hangtags, and product information sheets covering fabric composition, care and sizing. All of it carries your brand, never ours. Because we develop packaging alongside the sample, you approve the real physical presentation rather than a digital mock-up.
Keeping packaging cost sensible
Packaging is a volume-cost item like any other: printed polybags and custom cartons have minimum quantities, while stock polybags plus a custom hangtag is a cheaper route to a branded look for a first order. We will tell you the cost difference between the two rather than assuming you want the full unboxing set, and for a trial collection we normally recommend keeping packaging simple and upgrading once sell-through is proven.
Send your channel and any retailer or fulfilment-centre spec with the order, and confirm packaging at sampling so nothing has to be reworked after production.Read more about our packaging and value-added services or ask our team for two packaging options at different cost points.
- What is the best fabric for high-performance activewear?Oct 1,2026
There is no single best fabric - the strongest base is moisture-wicking polyester with spandex for stretch, plus breathable nylon or mesh for ventilation. The right choice then comes down to weight, knit and support level, matched to the activity. We help brands pick the combination that performs for the wearer and holds up through industrial wash, instead of copying a competitor's spec sheet.
Polyester base for sweat transport Power knit with 4-way stretch Light mesh for high-heat zones The performance base
- Polyester for wicking - moves sweat to the surface and dries fast, the foundation of most training tops and leggings.
- Spandex for stretch - 4-way recovery so the garment returns to shape after every wear and wash.
- Nylon for durability - resists abrasion where thighs, straps and seams take the most friction.
- Mesh for breathability - open knits in heat zones without adding weight.
- Power knit for compression - higher spandex content and firmed structure for support garments.
Matching fabric to activity
Low-impact styles like yoga and Pilates suit a softer nylon-spandex blend with a gentle handfeel. High-intensity training needs a lighter polyester mesh that dumps heat fast. Compression leggings use a power knit with 20-25% spandex for muscle support and opacity under stretch. Outdoor and transitional layers add a brushed back for warmth. The same silhouette can be offered in two fabrics so a brand covers both studio and street from one pattern.
Weight and handfeel decisions
Fabric weight, measured in grams per square metre, is the lever most brands under-use. A 180-220 gsm knit reads as premium and opaque for leggings; 130-160 gsm keeps a training tee light. We confirm weight at sampling alongside colour and stretch, and we can print, sublimate or bond the surface to change the look without changing the performance. That is how a single base fabric supports a whole collection.
Building a performance line? Tell us the activity, climate and target price and we will specify the fabric weight, composition and finish.Read more about our fabric development or send your performance brief for a recommendation.
- Can you handle large volume orders for sportswear?Oct 1,2026
Yes. We have the capacity to handle large volume orders and can scale production to meet demand without compromising quality or delivery. Our two factories cover a combined 20,000 m² and produce 500,000 pieces per month, supported by more than 1,000 employees. Volume for us is a scheduling question, not a threshold we have to check whether we can cross.
500,000 pieces produced monthly Volume scheduled, not squeezed Large runs of core activewear What supports high volume
- Two production sites - capacity is spread across facilities, so one line going down does not stop your order.
- Smart hanging lines - automated garment movement with output recorded per line, per style, per shift.
- Material depth - 200+ fabrics held, with supplied buffers for core programmes so fabric does not become the bottleneck.
- Dedicated line allocation - large runs get their own lines and a project manager rather than sharing queue position.
- Consistent inspection - AQL 1.5 across 8 rounds of checking, applied per batch at volume exactly as at trial scale.
Why volume does not dilute quality here
Scaling usually goes wrong when inspection is treated as a final gate - by the time 40,000 pieces are packed, a defect found at the end is expensive. We inspect in-line, so each batch is checked as it moves and problems are corrected before they multiply. Colour is verified under a light box per dye lot, and needle detection runs before packing. The monthly output of 500,000 pieces is what allows a large order to be spread sensibly rather than compressed into a rushed run.
How to scale an existing style
If you already produce with us, growing volume is straightforward: the pattern, construction file and fabric specification are locked, so an expanded order reuses the approved sample as its quality reference. If you are moving a programme to us from another supplier, we start with a counter-sample against your existing garment to prove the fit and handfeel match before committing to volume.
Our largest clients order in the tens of thousands of pieces per release. For a volume quote, send your style list and annual forecast and we will confirm capacity and lead time together.Read more about our factories or contact our team with your volume requirement.
- What is your policy for returns and exchanges?Oct 1,2026
We stand behind what we make - defective items can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of receipt. Because every order is custom-made to your specification, returns are handled as a quality case rather than a change-of-mind refund, and the process starts by identifying what went wrong so it is fixed at the source, not just on your single shipment.
AQL 1.5 catches faults early Root cause found on the floor Goods arrive as approved How a return or exchange works
- Raise it within 30 days - contact your account manager from the date goods are received.
- Send photos and details - images of the defect plus the style, size and quantity affected.
- We assess the cause - check against the approved sample and production records to find the root issue.
- Remedy arranged - replacement, repair or credit applied to your account as agreed.
- Process improvement - the finding feeds back into production so the same fault does not repeat.
What counts as a defect
A defect is a deviation from your approved sample - a seam failure, a wrong colour against the master, a fabric fault, a misapplied label or damage in transit that is our responsibility. Normal wear, incorrect care or a change of mind after approval is outside the policy, since custom production is built to the spec you signed off. Being clear about the boundary upfront keeps the process fast and fair for both sides.
Prevention is the real policy
Most issues are caught long before they reach you. Final AQL 1.5 inspection, per-batch colour and measurement checks, and weekly production reports mean a fault is usually found on the floor, not in your warehouse. The 30-day window is the backstop, not the front line - the goal is that you rarely need it. If a problem does appear, the production records behind your order let us resolve it quickly and prove what happened.
Received something not matching your approved sample? Send photos to your account manager within 30 days and we will open the case immediately.Read more about our quality commitment or contact your account manager to raise an issue.
- Do you support private labeling for activewear?Oct 1,2026
Yes, we offer full private labeling for activewear - custom logos, labels and packaging, so nothing on the garment or its packing carries our name. Everything a buyer sees at unboxing is yours: the neck label, the care instructions, the hangtag, the polybag and the carton. That is the standard for brands selling DTC, on marketplaces, or through retail where a competing supplier's name on a label would be unacceptable.
Your label, your packaging, no ours Woven main and care labels Branding applied across categories What private labeling includes
- Woven and printed main labels - your brand name and logo in the format and position you specify.
- Neck and size labels - printed heat-transfer labels for a smooth, tagless finish if you prefer.
- Care and content labels - fibre composition, wash instructions and origin wording compliant with your destination market.
- Branded decoration - logo printing, embroidery or silicone patches on the garment itself.
- Packaging and retail presentation - hangtags, polybags, tissue wrap and cartons carrying your branding.
What stays invisible
We do not print our factory name, code or contact details on your labels or packaging, and we do not display your developments in public showrooms. Designs, patterns and private moulds stay yours - we sign an NDA before tech packs or sketches are shared, and custom developments are not reused for other clients without your written authorisation. Your brand is the only identity that reaches your customer.
How to set it up
Private labeling is confirmed at the sampling stage: we produce the sample with your actual labels and decoration so you approve the real presentation, not a mock-up. Label artwork and wording are locked before bulk production begins, since label production runs ahead of garment assembly. If you are switching to private label mid-programme, we can also apply your branding to an existing style without changing the fit or fabric.
Selling into the EU, US or Australia? Tell us the destination and we will configure care-label content and packaging to match that market's requirements.Ready to put your label on your own line? Read more about our OEM and private label service or send your artwork to our team.
- What are your certifications for quality and sustainability?Oct 1,2026
We hold ISO 9001, BSCI, GRS and OEKO-TEX certifications, which together cover how we manage quality, treat workers, source recycled material and keep chemicals out of clothing. These are not wall plaques - they are the framework our production is audited against, and they are what let a brand put a credible certification claim on a label sold into the EU or US.
Audited to ISO 9001 and BSCI GRS and OEKO-TEX certified supply Standards run through the floor What each certification covers
- ISO 9001 - quality management system, the backbone of our process control and traceability.
- BSCI - social compliance audit covering labour, safety and workplace standards across the factory.
- GRS (Global Recycled Standard) - certifies recycled content and chain-of-custody for sustainable programmes.
- OEKO-TEX - verifies that textiles are free from harmful substances at every production stage.
- Documented for market access - certificates and batch records supplied for customs and retailer compliance.
Why it matters for your order
A certification is only useful if it reaches your customer's market with proof. Because we are audited against these standards, we can provide the documentation a retailer or marketplace requires - recycled content percentages, restricted-substance test results, social-compliance status - rather than asking you to source it yourself. For brands building a sustainable or premium positioning, that paper trail is often the difference between a launch that clears compliance and one that stalls at intake.
How certification links to daily production
These standards are not separate from the floor. ISO 9001 is the reason inspections are documented at eight checkpoints; GRS is why a recycled fabric is traceable to its mill; OEKO-TEX is why incoming materials are screened for restricted substances. The certificates summarise a discipline that runs through every order, which is why a certified factory tends to ship fewer surprises than an uncertified one with a lower quote.
Need a specific certificate or batch record for a shipment? Tell us the market and we will supply the documentation with the order.Read more about our certified production or ask our team for the certificates relevant to your market.
- Can I track my order once it’s shipped?Oct 1,2026
Yes. Tracking is shared the moment your goods leave Shenzhen, and you also receive production updates before shipment so there is no blind spot. Visibility starts at sample approval and continues until the cartons are in your hands - you are never guessing where the order stands.
Tracking shared after Shenzhen Weekly photo reports pre-ship Inspected before balance due What you get after shipping
- Tracking number - shared via our logistics partner once the booking is confirmed.
- Milestone updates - departure, arrival at transit hub, customs entry and final delivery status.
- Document copy - bill of lading or air waybill and packing list sent for your records.
- Single point of contact - your account manager owns the shipment update end to end.
- Exception alerts - any delay is raised proactively, not discovered at the deadline.
Visibility before the ship date
Tracking is only useful once the container moves, so the more valuable reporting happens earlier. While production runs on our smart hanging lines, your account manager sends weekly reports with live photos and video of cutting, sewing and final inspection. That means you see progress and catch any issue while it is still cheap to fix, then simply continue following the same order through to delivery with the tracking link.
Working with your own forwarder
If you manage freight yourself under FOB, we hand the goods and the paperwork to your nominated forwarder and share their tracking details the same way. Either route, you get a continuous thread from fabric to front door rather than a single update the day something ships. For multi-style programmes we track per style so you know which colourways are in transit.
Want updates on a tighter cadence during production? Ask your account manager for ad-hoc photo checks at any milestone.Read more about our production transparency or contact your account manager for your order's tracking.
- What are your terms for international shipping?Oct 1,2026
We ship worldwide, with FOB Shenzhen as our standard term and CIF, DDU or DDP available by arrangement. Goods leave from Shenzhen, one of the world's busiest export hubs, which keeps freight options and carrier competition strong. The right term depends on whether you want to control the ocean leg yourself or have us deliver closer to your door.
Goods leave from Shenzhen hub Cartons packed to spec Shipped to US, EU and AU Shipping terms we offer
- FOB Shenzhen (standard) - we deliver goods on board at Shenzhen; you manage the ocean freight and insurance.
- CIF - we arrange freight and insurance to your destination port.
- DDU / DDP - delivered to your warehouse or door, with duties handled (DDP) where the lane supports it.
- Air freight - available for urgent replenishments and small high-value runs.
- Door-to-door or port-to-port - chosen to match your logistics setup.
How cost is calculated
Freight is based on weight, volume, destination and the speed you need. Because cartons are packed to your garment dimensions, volumetric weight stays low and air freight stays sensible. We work with established freight forwarders and can quote both sea and air so you can balance cost against lead time. For recurring orders we can also consolidate shipments against your replenishment calendar instead of shipping ad hoc.
What we handle for you
Export documentation, packing lists and customs paperwork for the lane are prepared as part of the order, and we confirm incoterms and declared value with you before booking. If you have a preferred forwarder we work with them; if not, we propose one suited to your destination. The goal is a shipment that clears smoothly rather than one that sits in a port waiting on a missing form.
Not sure which incoterm fits your operation? Tell us whether you manage freight yourself and we will propose FOB, CIF or DDP.Read more about our export operation or send your destination and volume for a freight quote.
- What are the payment terms for orders?Oct 1,2026
We work mainly on T/T: a 50% deposit to start production, with the remaining 50% paid before shipment. This structure protects both sides - the deposit commits line capacity and materials, and the balance is cleared before goods leave Shenzhen. For qualified large-volume programmes we can also arrange a letter of credit.
T/T 50% deposit, 50% before ship Deposit reserves line capacity Terms flex for partners How the payment schedule runs
- Deposit (50%) - paid on order confirmation to reserve production lines and stage fabric and trims.
- Production window - sampling and bulk run on the scheduled dates once the deposit is received.
- Balance (50%) - settled before shipment, after final inspection and before the goods are released.
- Transparent milestones - you see the inspection result before the balance is due, so payment follows proof.
- L/C for large orders - letter of credit available for qualified high-volume or enterprise programmes.
Why this structure
A 50% deposit is standard for custom manufacturing because materials are cut to your specification and cannot be sold elsewhere - it covers the fabric, trims and line time committed to your order. The balance-before-shipment step means you pay only once the goods have passed final AQL inspection, so you are not settling for product you have not verified. For first-time partnerships this also keeps both sides' exposure limited while trust is built.
Options for established partners
Once we have a track record together, the terms can flex. Framework-agreement partners with reserved capacity often move to scheduled billing aligned to their forecast, and qualified large orders can use L/C where your finance team requires it. We will propose the arrangement that fits your order size and relationship rather than applying one rule to every client. Tell us your preferred method and we will confirm what your order qualifies for.
Prefer a different structure for a large programme? Ask about L/C or framework billing - we will match the terms to your volume and history.Read more about working with us or contact our team to confirm terms for your order.
- What makes Eationwear different from other manufacturers?Oct 1,2026
What sets us apart is the combination of flexibility, speed and certified scale: low-MOQ manufacturing, 7-10 day sampling and GRS and OEKO-TEX certified production, backed by two factories, more than 1,200 brand clients and OEM/ODM experience since 2014. Most suppliers force a choice between boutique attention and factory scale - we refuse that trade-off.
1,200+ brands served since 2014 Two factories, scalable capacity GRS and OEKO-TEX certified Flexible manufacturing
- Low minimums - start a collection at a flexible MOQ rather than committing to a warehouse-filling first order.
- OEM and ODM - hand us a finished tech pack or let us develop the style from a reference; both routes are supported.
- Private label ready - your labels, trims and packaging, with our name never on your product.
- Framework agreements - reserved capacity and stable pricing for long-term partners.
- Reorder continuity - the same fabric lot and construction file kept so a style stays identical across seasons.
Speed without losing control
Sampling runs in about 7-10 days and bulk in roughly 25 days after approval, but speed here is paired with visibility. Weekly production reports with live photos mean fast does not mean blind, and AQL 1.5 inspection across eight checkpoints means fast does not mean loose. For a brand testing a new drop, that combination - quick to sample, quick to scale, still fully inspected - is usually the practical edge over a slower or cheaper option that hides problems until shipping.
Scale you can trust
Two factories covering 20,000 m² with a monthly output of 500,000 pieces let us grow with you from first collection to enterprise programme without handing your work to a subcontractor. Certified sustainable production and 1,200+ brand clients served since 2014 are not just credentials - they are evidence that the flexibility and speed hold up at volume. The difference, in the end, is that we act like a manufacturing partner invested in your brand, not a warehouse that fills orders.
Comparing suppliers? Ask each one for their sampling time, inspection standard and whether your labels stay private - the answers separate a partner from a vendor.Read more about who we are or send your brief to see how we would approach your line.
- What customization options are available for activewear?Oct 1,2026
Customization covers branding, trims, packaging and the garment itself - logo printing, embroidery, labels, custom hardware and branded packaging, plus fit and fabric modifications. We build the full OEM/ODM scope around your brand rather than selling you a size chart to pick from. Our design team can start from a finished tech pack or from a reference garment, a competitor sample or a rough sketch, and will tell you honestly which changes affect cost and which are effectively free.
20+ finishes including heat transfer Branding applied to garment and pack Fabric and colour matched to your range Branding and decoration
- Printing - silk screen, heat transfer, digital print and sublimation, with 20+ finishes available across our lines.
- Embroidery and patches - logo embroidery, embossed silicone patches and woven badges positioned to your artwork.
- Labels - woven main labels, printed neck labels, size and care labels with the content your market legally requires.
- Hardware and trims - engraved metal aglets, branded zippers, custom-woven drawcords, silicone and rubber details.
- Packaging - polybags, boxes, tissue wrapping, hangtags and retail-ready presentation built for your sales channel.
Garment-level customization
Beyond decoration, we modify construction: fit adjustments and grading to your measurement chart, fabric substitution from our 200+ material library, colour matching against your Pantone reference, seam and hem changes, pocket and panel reconfiguration, and elastic or compression tuning for different support levels. Sports bras, leggings, hoodies, shorts, tanks and tees all run through the same customization process, so a collection can share branding and handfeel across categories.
How the process runs
You send the requirement; our design team returns a measurement sheet, material proposal and decoration placement for approval. Sampling then runs about 7 days, and the approved sample locks the specification into your production file. Because we cover OEM and ODM, you can hand over a complete design or ask us to develop the style from a mood board - most clients start with a hybrid, keeping their own silhouette and letting us solve the construction.
Tip: finalise artwork and label wording before sampling. Changes after the sample is approved invalidate the reference and restart the approval cycle.Send your tech pack or reference to our team for a customization proposal, or read more about our factory capabilities.
- How can I ensure the quality of my custom activewear?Oct 1,2026
Quality is checked at three levels - incoming material, in-line production and a final AQL 1.5 audit - across eight checkpoints from fabric to packed carton. The reason custom activewear holds up is that problems are caught while they are still cheap to fix, not discovered after 10,000 pieces are sealed. Your approved sample is the reference every checkpoint measures against.
Eight checkpoints from fabric to pack Seams checked during production Approved sample as the reference The three levels of control
- Raw material inspection - fabric weight, composition and colour checked on arrival, before any cutting.
- In-line quality control - seams, stitch density and measurements verified during sewing, batch by batch.
- Final AQL inspection - a statistical AQL 1.5 audit on the finished goods before they are packed.
- Colour verification - every dye lot checked under a light box against the approved master.
- Needle and metal detection - screening before packing to protect the end customer.
Why AQL 1.5, not a looser standard
AQL 1.5 is a tight acceptance limit, meaning very few defects are allowed in the sampled batch before the lot is rejected or reworked. We hold this across both trial and volume runs, so scaling an order does not mean loosening the net. The eight checkpoints spread the inspection through production rather than piling it at the end, which is what lets a large order be as consistent as a small one.
What you can do on your side
Your main lever is the approved sample: the clearer and more complete it is - fit, fabric, branding, packing - the tighter the reference every checkpoint checks against. Approve a counter-sample against an existing garment if you are moving a style to us, so fit and handfeel are proven before volume. From there, our weekly production reports show you the inspection results as the run advances, so quality is visible, not assumed.
Want tighter control on a premium line? Ask about inline reporting per batch and a copy of the final AQL report with your shipment.Read more about our quality process or send your style for a controlled production plan.
- What types of fabrics do you use for activewear?Oct 1,2026
We build activewear from performance synthetics - polyester, nylon and elastane - and from recycled options like RPET and recycled nylon. The right fabric is chosen per garment rather than applied uniformly, because a compression legging and a relaxed yoga top need completely different handfeel, stretch and recovery. Our library holds 200+ materials, so most requests are filled from stock rather than developed from scratch.
200+ materials sourced and held Knit and finish tuned per garment RPET and recycled nylon options Performance synthetics
- Polyester - the workhorse for moisture-wicking tops and outer layers, durable and colour-stable through repeated wash.
- Nylon - high abrasion resistance for leggings and shorts, with a smooth, premium surface.
- Spandex / elastane - 4-way stretch and recovery, blended in at 10-25% depending on the support level needed.
- Mesh and jacquard knits - breathable panels for high-heat zones and textured finishes for branding.
- French terry and fleece - brushed interiors for hoodies and loungewear where softness matters more than sweat transport.
Sustainable and recycled options
Every synthetic above has a recycled counterpart we can substitute without redesigning the garment. RPET (recycled polyester) and recycled nylon come from post-consumer and post-industrial waste, and we hold GRS-certified supply for brands that need traceable claims. Organic cotton and bio-based fibres are available for lower-intensity styles. Because we run GRS and OEKO-TEX certified production, a recycled claim on your label can be backed with mill documentation rather than a marketing line.
How the fabric gets chosen
You can specify the exact composition in your tech pack, or we propose it from the garment's purpose: support level, climate, wash cycle and price point. A high-intensity training set gets a lightweight wicking knit; a maternity or recovery line gets a softer, higher-stretch blend. Once a fabric is confirmed at sampling it is locked into your production file by name and lot, so a reorder six months later uses the same cloth, not an approximation.
Not sure which fabric fits your price and performance target? Send the use case and we will propose two or three options at different cost points from our 200+ library.Read more about our material capability or send your tech pack for a fabric proposal.
- What is the cancellation policy for wholesale apparel orders?Oct 1,2026
You can cancel within 3 days of payment. In that window the order is still in planning, fabric has not been committed to the cutting table and we can stop without cost to you. After the 3-day period, if the garments have already entered the production phase, a cancellation charge equivalent to 40% of the order value applies - that percentage reflects the mill orders already placed, fabric already cut and labour already scheduled on the line.
Fabric commitments start after order confirmation Line slots are reserved per order Branding produced against your artwork Why the 3-day window exists
Apparel production moves fast once it starts. Fabric is ordered against your order, dye lots are set, patterns are graded and a cutting slot is reserved. Three days is enough time for you to review final specifications, confirm colour approvals and raise any internal blockers before we commit material. After that point, costs are already incurred and cannot be recovered the way a stock item could be.
What counts as already in production
- Fabric committed - mill order placed, or stock fabric reserved and inspected for your order.
- Cutting started - the fabric has been spread and cut to your pattern, which makes it non-returnable.
- Line time booked - your style is scheduled into a sewing line, displacing other orders.
- Trims and branding produced - woven labels, hangtags or custom packaging already manufactured with your artwork.
If something goes wrong on our side
The cancellation charge protects against client-side changes, not manufacturing faults. If a defect is ours - wrong fabric, wrong measurement, failed inspection against the approved sample - we remake or credit the affected pieces instead of charging you, and we hold ourselves to AQL 1.5 with 8 rounds of inspection so issues are caught before packing rather than after arrival. The cleanest way to avoid the 40% scenario is a signed-off sample: once you approve it, production runs against that reference and there is nothing ambiguous left to cancel over.
Want to pause instead of cancel? If your launch date slips we can usually hold fabric and reschedule your line slot - talk to our team before the 3-day window closes and we will look at the options.Need the full commercial terms before ordering?

- Do you accommodate rush orders for wholesale apparel?Oct 1,2026
Yes, we accommodate rush orders - but the request has to be flagged when you place the production order, not after. Production scheduling is built from the orders already in the queue, so a rush requirement raised later can only be quoted against whatever line capacity happens to be left. Raised up front, we can reserve a cutting slot and a sewing line for your style from the start, which is what actually makes the shorter timeline possible. A rush fee calculated on a per-day basis applies to expedite processing, and we confirm both feasibility and cost before you approve anything.
Line slots reserved for rush orders Finishing processes scheduled to fit Packaging confirmed early to avoid delays Why timing of the request matters more than the fee
A normal bulk order runs about 25 days after sample approval. Compressing that means moving your style ahead of others in the queue, adding shifts, and in some cases sourcing fabric faster than the standard mill lead time. Every one of those levers has a cost and a limit, and both are easier to arrange at the quotation stage than two weeks into production. Tell us your drop date at the enquiry stage and we will quote the timeline and the rush fee together.
What we need from you for a realistic rush quote
- Your latest acceptable delivery date - the date the goods must leave Shenzhen, not the date you would prefer them.
- Quantity and style count - one style rushes more easily than six, and smaller volumes compress more safely.
- Fabric status - whether the fabric is already approved or still needs development, since that is often the true bottleneck.
- Branding and packaging readiness - label artwork and packaging confirmed early, so finishing does not become the delay.
- Sample approval - a signed-off sample is what unlocks the production start date.
How we protect quality when the clock is short
A rush order still passes the same inspection regime: AQL 1.5 across 8 rounds of checking, in-line and final. What we compress is scheduling and logistics, not the quality gates - if inspection fails, the pieces are reworked or remade, and that is true whether the order was rushed or not.
Best-case accelerated timeline: quotation within 24 hours, sampling in 7-10 days, then a compressed bulk run scheduled against current line capacity. Shipments leave from Shenzhen.Working to a fixed launch date? Read more about our production capacity or send your drop date to our team for a rush quote.
- Will you disclose our product designs to third parties?Oct 1,2026
No. We do not share, disclose or reveal any details of your product designs to third parties. Confidentiality is built into how we work: a non-disclosure agreement is signed before any tech pack, sketch or exclusive pattern is shared, and your developments remain yours alone. Your trust in that confidentiality is the foundation of a private-label partnership, and we protect it at every step.
Tech packs kept under NDA Your brand, never ours Access restricted to your team How we keep your designs confidential
- NDA before disclosure - signed before tech packs, sketches or exclusive fabric patterns change hands.
- No third-party sharing - your designs are never shown to other clients, suppliers beyond need, or public showrooms.
- Private moulds and patterns - custom developments are not reused for other clients without your written authorisation.
- Access control - development files are restricted to the team working on your order.
- Brand-neutral output - nothing we produce carries our name unless you ask; your brand is the only identity that reaches the customer.
What stays invisible to the market
Beyond the garment itself, the things that make your product yours - the pattern, the custom fabric, the trim, the fit - stay inside the partnership. We do not display your developments in public showrooms, and custom moulds or exclusive patterns developed for you are quarantined from other clients. If a supplier needs to see a component to produce it, that exposure is governed by the same confidentiality obligations, and only the minimum needed is shared.
Starting a confidential project
The cleanest path is to sign the NDA before sending your tech pack or reference garment, so protection is in place from the first conversation. From there, sampling and bulk run on the same confidential footing, and the approved sample plus production file stay locked to your brand. For brands moving sensitive or bestselling designs to us from another supplier, this front-loaded confidentiality is usually the deciding factor in the switch.
Want confidentiality in place before you share anything? Ask our team to send the NDA so your tech pack is protected from the first exchange.Read more about our partnership principles or contact us to put an NDA in place before sharing your designs.
- What is the minimum order quantity for apparel manufacturing services?Oct 1,2026
Our standard minimum order quantity is 300 pieces per design, and flexible MOQ is accepted for trial collections. That means you can launch a new activewear style with a small first run instead of committing to thousands of pieces before you know how the market responds. Because both of our factories run a combined 20,000 m² with a monthly output of 500,000 pieces, a 300-piece start is genuinely small for us - we are set up to absorb it without pushing you to over-order.
Both factories run 500,000 pieces per month 200+ fabrics available for small first runs Material sourcing tied to your MOQ How the 300-piece minimum works in practice
The 300 pieces apply per design, not per order. So a five-style capsule collection can start at 1,500 pieces in total, and you can size-grade that quantity across your full size range. The count is based on finished garments after inspection, and it is the same whether you order simple training tees or a constructed sports bra with bonded seams and moulded cups.
When we can go below the standard minimum
- Trial and test collections - first-season ranges for a brand entering a new category, where you need sell-through data before scaling.
- Sample and sales-man set orders - showroom pieces, trade-show samples and size sets ahead of a bulk commitment.
- Reorders on existing styles - once pattern, fabric and colour are locked, smaller replenishment runs are easier to slot into the line.
- Multi-colour or multi-print splits - we look at total volume per design when deciding what is workable, not volume per colourway.
What affects the minimum more than the number itself
Fabric choice is usually the real constraint. A stock fabric from our 200+ material library can support a smaller first run, while a custom-developed or custom-dyed fabric needs a mill minimum for the raw material, which pushes the garment minimum up. Custom hardware - moulded zippers, silicone prints, bespoke elastics - behaves the same way. If low volume is your priority, tell us at the enquiry stage and our team will steer you towards materials that keep the first order lean.
Practical sequence for a first order: send your tech pack and target quantity, we confirm a workable MOQ and fabric in the quotation, then sampling runs 7-10 days before bulk production of about 25 days. Shipments leave Shenzhen.Planning a trial collection? Read more about our factory or send your design to our team for a quotation with MOQ and pricing confirmed together.
