Pricing, MOQ & lead times — in plain numbers
No “contact us to find out” games. These are the working numbers most projects land in, so you can budget before you ever send an email.

MOQ is 100 pcs/style on stock programs with your logo (50 pcs plain), and 500 for full custom. Bulk production takes 30 days standard, 15 days rush.

What moves the price
- Fabric choice and GSM — recycled and specialty yarns cost more
- Order size — unit prices step down as quantities rise
- Construction — zoned compression and complex trims add work
- Branding — sublimation, screen print, transfers and packaging each price differently
- Shipping mode — air buys speed, sea buys margin
All figures are working ranges for typical projects, confirmed per quote — no hidden fees.
How quoting works
Send us style references (catalog item numbers, competitor links or your tech pack), target quantities, colorways and destination country — that is everything needed for a complete quote. You get an itemised reply within one working day: unit price per quantity tier, sampling cost and timeline, and shipping options to your door. Quotes hold for 30 days; if your spec changes (fabric, print, packaging), ask for a re-quote rather than assuming — silent spec drift is where budget surprises live. Sample fees are credited back against your bulk order.
Reading a quote like a professional buyer
Compare any quote — ours included — against the category bands in our 3,038-style price benchmark before judging it. Then check three things in writing: the exact fabric spec (composition and GSM, not just a name), what the price includes (branding application, polybags, inspection), and the incoterm (EXW, FOB and DDP are different numbers — see the DDP guide). A quote far below the band hasn't found you a bargain; it has quietly relocated a cost into thinner fabric or skipped QC.
FAQ
Why is there an MOQ at all?
Machines are set up per style and colour: yarn, tension, grading and QC are fixed work regardless of quantity. Below ~100 pieces that setup makes each unit uneconomical.
Is the sample fee refundable?
We treat sampling as a real development service — the fee covers materials and machine time. Most brands recover it many times over by avoiding a wrong bulk run.
Do you quote DDP?
Yes. Tell us your delivery country and we quote landed cost door-to-door, so you can compare fairly against domestic options.
