Before you quote
Questions brands ask before starting.
For a product-specific answer, send your references, quantity, target market, and timeline through our project inquiry form.
What is your minimum order quantity?
Typical starting quantities are 50 pieces for straightforward cut-and-sew styles. Final MOQ depends on the fabric, decoration, colour count, trims, and factory route.
Can I start without a tech pack?
Yes. Reference images, a target product, quantity, sizing direction, and intended decoration are enough for an initial review. We can help organize the information needed for sampling.
How are sample costs calculated?
Sample costs are quoted after the product, pattern complexity, fabric, trims, decoration, and revision route are confirmed. They are not fixed because each development route is different.
How long does sampling take?
A straightforward sample commonly takes 7 to 14 days after materials and specifications are confirmed. Complex construction, custom fabrics, or special finishes may need more time.
How long does bulk production take?
Bulk production commonly takes 4 to 8 weeks after sample approval and material confirmation. The confirmed schedule depends on the product, order size, finishing, and packing requirements.
Can you source custom fabrics and GSM?
Yes. We can review stock and custom-developed fabric options, including fibre composition, knit or weave, weight, handfeel, colour, and finishing direction. Availability is confirmed before sampling.
Do you support printing, embroidery, washing, labels, tags, and packaging?
Yes. Programs can include screen print, DTG, heat transfer, embroidery, garment washing, woven labels, hangtags, patches, drawcords, and branded packaging, subject to the product route.
How do you manage quality control?
Quality checks are aligned to the approved sample and confirmed specifications. Checks can cover measurements, construction, appearance, colour, decoration, trims, labelling, packing, and final shipment preparation.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Shipping can be arranged for international destinations once the delivery address, preferred method, timing, and customs requirements are confirmed.
