Custom Activewear Manufacturing FAQ — What Buyers Ask Before the First Order

Our standard MOQ is 100 pieces per SKU for cut-and-sew production. Sizes XS–XXL are split inside that 100 — you are not charged a separate minimum per size. For a first private-label run, the practical entry point is around 100 pieces per style and colorway.

Send a reference — a tech-pack, a sketch, or even a sample garment you want matched. We confirm fabric, fit, and pricing, then produce one sample for your approval before any bulk commitment. Most first-time founders go from inquiry to approved sample in about two to three weeks.

No. If you don't have one, our pattern and tech-pack service builds the pattern, size grading, and full tech-pack from your sketch or reference garment — so first-time brands aren't blocked at the starting line.

Pattern development is USD 220 per pattern and typically takes 7–14 days, handled by a 16-person in-house pattern team. The deliverable is a production-ready pattern plus size grading from XS through 5XL (pattern grading capability; production size split remains XS–XXL within the 100-piece MOQ) and a complete tech-pack you own. Revisions are USD 40 per round. Usable with us or anywhere else.

Bulk production runs 35–42 days for standard OEM orders on stock or readily available fabric, and 48–58 days when the order requires custom fabric development. ODM orders built from our pattern library run 30–40 days. Lead time starts after sample approval and deposit.

12 production lines turn out about 380,000 pieces per month, with a single purchase order typically running 50,000–100,000 pieces — so growing brands don't outgrow us.

Our rolling 12-month on-time delivery rate is 92.4%. Production milestones are shared during your order so you can plan launches and restocks with confidence.

Team orders run on a dedicated track of 18–25 days across three team-set lines, with names, numbers and crests driven directly from your roster CSV. Daily scheduling gives the earliest ship date priority on the floor — tell us your kickoff date and we quote backwards from it before accepting the order.

Every order is inspected pre-shipment to AQL 2.5, supported by an in-house QC team and lab technicians. Our rolling 12-month pass rate is 98.5%.

Two controls. Colorfastness is lab-tested to ISO 105 wash and rub methods before any lot is cut. For consistency, incoming fabric is measured against your approved lab dip with a spectrophotometer within 4 hours of arrival — any roll drifting past ΔE 1.0 is rejected and returned to the mill, so reorders months apart still match.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100, BSCI, WRAP Gold, GRS (Global Recycled Standard), and Higg FEM. Certificate copies and audit reports are shared during the RFQ stage.

Yes. We are GRS-certified and regularly run recycled polyester and other sustainable knits — share your fabric target and we'll confirm options and pricing.
