Standard MOQ is typically 150 pcs per style / colour. Selected library trial programmes may start from 100 pcs per colour, subject to fabric availability. Orders below 100 pcs / style / colour carry a combined 15% surcharge for extra fabric scattered-cut costs and additional generation fees. Custom fabric typically ~500 m / colour.

How much is a sample and how long does it take?

Library samples start from US$45 per garment piece (sets charged by piece count). Custom patterns, prints, trims and fabric development are quoted separately. Typical lead 7–9 working days after confirmation. Eligible library sample fees may be credited against a confirmed bulk order, subject to the quoted sample terms. Courier charges are excluded and never credited.

How the tenth unit matches the first.

Production managers need gates, not adjectives. This is the control map on our Dongguan floor.

Inline QC at 20 / 50 / 80%

Checks scale with the run: early catch on construction, mid-run measurement stability, late-run appearance and packing readiness before final AQL.

Measurement against PPS size curve.
Stitch / seam / binding integrity.
Shade continuity within approved dip.
Label / care / hangtag placement per BOM.

AQL, packing and shipment

Final AQL 2.5 / 2.0. Fail lots are reworked at our cost. Hangtags, polybags and carton marks follow the approved packaging BOM — not a last-minute PDF.

Bulk clock starts after PPS + deposit.
FOB Shenzhen · DDP on request.
Carton marks and assorts locked before pack-out.
Ship date is a plan against AQL clearance — not a wish.

Capacity & lead times · Plan QC / visit

Third-party inspection

SGS / QIMA / BV are welcome on the floor. Book the window against the production calendar so inspectors are not waiting on unfinished packs.

Share inspector details early.
PPS and BOM copies ready for the visit.
Change notes stop at cut-off before inspection day.

Inline → AQL → pack-out — what we check and what stops the line.

Production managers schedule against gates, not adjectives. This is the control table on our Dongguan floor for a typical activewear / swim programme.
