ZIESHINE · DONGGUAN ZIESHINE APPAREL CO.,LTD.

Activewear for UK brands.
Labelled for the UK.

Tennis, padel, studio and golf programmes for British labels. UK fibre names, UK sizing and a UK importer address on the label — locked on the proto, checked again on the PPS.

For UK brands — made in China, not in Britain. We are a Dongguan cut-and-sew factory. Since Brexit, the UK and the EU are two customs territories: one shipment cannot clear both, and labels written for the US do not pass in the UK.

Terms on one screen

FOB Shenzhen is the default; DDP into the UK is quoted on request through a forwarder that handles the UK entry and import VAT.

Labels & packaging

What UK buyers expect on the label and in the carton.

The UK keeps its own textile labelling rules after Brexit. The biggest practical difference from a US label is the fibre names.

Requirement
What it means on the garment
Who owns it
Fibre names
UK textile labelling uses polyamide and elastane. The same PowerForm™ 215 that reads “81% Nylon, 19% Spandex” in the US reads 81% Polyamide, 19% Elastane in the UK.
We draft · you approve
UK address
Name and UK address of the brand or importer — UK retailers and product-safety rules expect a traceable UK operator.

Plastic packaging

We supply data

Duty and VAT rates belong to your UK customs agent and change with policy — we do not publish them. We supply composition, construction and weight so your agent can classify each style (knitted activewear sits in chapter 61).

Samples & PPS

Proto proves the design. PPS proves the production.

UK tennis and padel calendars run on the outdoor season. Lock the PPS before the winter sell-in so goods land for spring.

MOQ

Minimums per colour — the same ladder for every market.

UK court and studio labels often launch with a tight colour story. Plan by colour, not by style count.

150Standard MOQ — pcs per style per colour. Each colour carries its own 150.
From 100Selected library trial — selected library styles only, subject to fabric availability and production feasibility.
Below 100Subject to feasibility and a small-order surcharge (+15% scattered-cut & generation fees, confirmed in writing).
500–1300 m+Custom fabric per colour at the mill (MCQ). A separate gate from the garment MOQ.

A white court dress at 150 plus a navy at 150 is a cleaner first PO than five colours at 60. Tennis, padel & pickleball desk →

Anonymised programmes

How programmes like yours actually run.

We do not publish client names, sell-through or inspection scores. These are reconstructions of programmes by buyer type, using only ZIESHINE terms.

Programme reconstruction · not a named client

UK tennis label — dress and skort as one court story

Buyer
UK court label selling to clubs and retailers
Product
PowerForm™ dress + skort, one dye lot
Gate
Inner short and ball pocket proved on the proto

The pleat is not the product; the inner short and the ball pocket are. A new pocket is a proto, not a note on the packing list. One dye lot across the capsule, UK fibre names and care symbols on the PPS. Read the full reconstruction →

Gate
Written opacity gate on a PPS cut from the bulk lot

An approved sample was opaque; the bulk was not, in the lighter colours. The silhouette was rebuilt on a named opacity-first base and the bulk clock started only after a PPS cut from the bulk lot was approved. Read the reconstruction →

UK buyer FAQ

What UK brands ask before they brief.

Are you a UK activewear manufacturer?

No. We manufacture in Dongguan, China, for UK brands. Garments are labelled Made in China and shipped FOB Shenzhen, or DDP to the UK on request.

Can you ship DDP to the UK?

Yes, on request. The quote includes duty and import VAT as agreed in writing and carries a validity date. FOB Shenzhen remains the default term.

Can one shipment serve both the UK and the EU?

Not through one customs entry. The UK and the EU are separate customs territories, so plan two entries (or ship to one and re-export, with your agent's advice).

Do your labels use UK fibre names?

Yes. UK labels read polyamide and elastane, not nylon and spandex. We draft from the mill composition and you approve on the proto.

Do you grade UK sizes?

Yes. UK numeric or alpha XXS–3XL graded in-house; the size curve is proved on the proto before PPS.

What MOQ do UK brands start with?

150 pcs per style per colour; selected library styles can trial from 100 when fabric and construction allow.

Can we get recycled-content polybags for Plastic Packaging Tax?

Yes. Our GRS licence D26089-G4 covers packaging and accessories, so recycled-content polybags can ship with their documentation. Recycled garment fibre is a separate mill transaction-certificate path.

How do samples reach the UK?

By express courier (DHL, FedEx or UPS), quoted separately. Samples are US$50–100 per garment piece in 7–9 working days.
