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.

What are your payment terms?

30% deposit after PPS sign-off and 70% after passed final AQL. FOB Shenzhen or DDP on request.

For Product Teams — Critical Path, Approvals & PPS

Calendar control: packs, approvals and one desk.

Tech packStart from your pack or our checklist — fabric, POM, construction and trims in writing.

SampleLibrary or custom proto in 7–9 working days from US$45 / garment piece.

Fit & gradingFit locks and size curves before PPS — changes logged, not verbal.

BOMFabric, trims, labels and packaging scoped before deposit.

How we keep a programme from drifting.

Most delays are approval delays. This is the gate map we run with product managers.

Critical path (with buffer)

Brief / pack intake → sample (7–9 wd) → fit loop → colour / trim lock → PPS → deposit → bulk (~25–30 days; swim 30–40) → AQL → ship.

Build buffer before PPS if multiple size runs are required.
Do not start bulk fabric against an unsigned colour.
Capacity windows are shared on enquiry — ask early for peak months.

Approval matrix

We need named owners. Ambiguous “team OK” is how POM drifts.

Fit owner signs fit sample / POM sheet.
Colour owner signs dip / swatch ID.
PPS owner signs construction + BOM before deposit.
Change notes reopen only the affected gate — in writing.

Submit tech pack brief · NDA before file share

Version control

Every sample carries a version: style code, fabric code, colour / dip ID, date. Bulk references the PPS revision — not the last WhatsApp photo.

Verbal changes are not production instructions.
Trim / label / packaging live on the BOM before deposit.
One export desk from brief to AQL reduces factory-to-factory gaps.

Questions product teams usually ask first.

What must a tech pack include?

Fabric, POM, construction, trims and labelling at minimum. Use our checklist if your pack is partial.

How are changes handled after sample?

Written change notes only. Verbal edits are not bulk instructions.

When does the bulk clock start?

After PPS is signed and deposit clears — typical bulk ~25–30 days (swim often 30–40).

Can one desk own fit and bulk?

Yes — same export desk from brief through AQL so hand-offs stay on one programme.

Tech pack → fit → PPS → bulk, with one development team.
