Low-MOQ Activewear Factories in China, Ranked by What They Put in Writing

How we ranked them

By the lowest starting quantity each factory states on its own website. Where two factories state the same number, a minimum written for all orders ranks above one given for a single product line. We also mark which factories say they knit seamless in-house, because seamless usually carries higher minimums than cut-and-sew, so a low minimum from a seamless knitter is harder to find. Factories that say “low MOQ” without a number were left out.

The ranking

1. ASG Fashions (Dongguan) — a 1-piece minimum

ASG Fashions describes itself as a factory specialising in custom swimwear and yoga wear. Its about page and its yoga-wear page both state “No Minimum Order Quantity”, with flexible ordering from a 1-piece minimum, and it says A-grade samples arrive in 7–10 days and bulk orders in 30 days. It runs a 3,200 m² facility with automated cutting and GERBER technology. Best for: testing cut-and-sew yoga wear or swimwear in very small quantities.

2. Yesseam (Xiamen) — the lowest minimum from a seamless knitter

Yesseam publishes 50 garments in total for stock programmes without a logo, 100 garments in total with your logo and usually 300–500 garments per style per colour for full custom development. It knits seamless in-house on 50 Santoni machines, mainly the SM8-TOP2V, and runs its own cutting and sewing floor, so seamless and cut-and-sew styles come from the same factory. Best for: launching a seamless range without committing to hundreds of pieces per style.

3. INGOR (Guangzhou) — small batches from 100, bulk from 300

Founded in 2009, INGOR says on its homepage that it takes small batches starting from 100 pieces and delivers bulk orders, with a 300-piece minimum, within 30 days. It states a monthly output of 500,000 pieces. Its product menu includes seamless activewear, but it does not state seamless knitting machines of its own. Best for: brands that expect to scale quickly after a small first run.

4. Ohsurewear (Dongguan) — 100 pieces, stated for tennis apparel

Ohsurewear offers OEM, ODM and private-label activewear, from gym and yoga wear to leggings and sports bras. The FAQ on its homepage gives a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces; the answer sits under a question about custom tennis apparel, so check that it applies to your product. Best for: cut-and-sew activewear in runs of about 100 pieces.

5. Aolafree (Shenzhen) — 200 on the private-label page; 300 per style elsewhere

Aolafree’s private-label page states a 200-piece minimum without defining a per-colour rule, while its price/MOQ page and product FAQs state 300 pieces per style. Its factory-strength page lists 40+ Santoni machines and a monthly capacity of 300,000 pieces. These are the supplier’s published claims, not an independent factory audit. Confirm which programme, construction and colour allocation apply to your written quote.

The five side by side

How to read a minimum order quantity

A minimum means little until you know what it counts. Ask four things. Is it per style or per colour? Three colours at a per-colour minimum of 200 is 600 pieces. Does it include your logo, or is branding a separate, higher tier? Does it cover stock styles only, or a pattern made to your specification? And is the sample cost credited against the first order? A factory that answers all four in writing is easier to plan with than one that says “no MOQ” and leaves the rest open. Our full playbook for small first orders is in how to find a low-MOQ manufacturer.

Where Yesseam fits, honestly

If you want to test a yoga or swim design in single-digit quantities, a 1-piece factory is the better place to start. If you want seamless from the first order — knitted to shape, with no side seams — our 50 garments in total is the lowest published minimum on this list from a factory that knits seamless itself. Our other rankings put us lower: see seamless factories by knitting capacity and ODM manufacturers by design support.

FAQ

Which activewear factories in China have the lowest MOQ?

By the minimums they publish: ASG Fashions states a 1-piece minimum; Yesseam starts with eligible existing stock at 50 garments in total (100 with your logo, usually 300–500 per style per colour for full custom); INGOR takes small batches from 100 pieces with a 300-piece bulk minimum; Ohsurewear gives 100 pieces; and Aolafree lists 200 pieces on its private-label page and 300 per style elsewhere; confirm the programme and colour split. Confirm per-colour rules and logo tiers in writing before sampling.

Can I get seamless activewear made in small quantities?

Yes, though seamless minimums tend to be higher than cut-and-sew because each style needs its own knitting programme and machine set-up. Of the factories ranked here, two say they knit seamless in-house: Yesseam, from 50 garments in total, and Aolafree, from 200 on its private-label page and 300 per style elsewhere; confirm colour allocation.

What does 'no MOQ' really mean?

Usually that the factory will take very small orders on some products, often stock styles or simple cut-and-sew pieces. It rarely means every style, colour and custom detail is available from one piece at the same unit price. Ask which products, which colours and what price applies at the smallest quantity.

Is an MOQ counted per style or per colour?

It depends on the factory, and it changes the total a lot: three colours at a per-colour minimum of 200 is 600 pieces, while a per-style minimum can often be split across colours. Get the rule in writing, together with whether your logo is included at that quantity.

What is a sensible first order for a new activewear brand?

One or two styles in two or three colours, at the factory’s published minimum, after an approved sample. That keeps the cash tied up in stock low while giving you enough units to test sizes and colours with real customers; reorders can then follow what sells.
