FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what apparel buyers ask before requesting a quotation.

What is the minimum customization for a small order?
The smallest viable program is usually a standard fabric and fit with one embroidered chest logo. Each additional custom element — custom dye, woven labels, special buttons, custom packaging — changes MOQ and setup cost, and the quotation shows each item separately.
Can collar and placket be customized without raising MOQ much?
Tipping colors and contrast inner plackets are low-impact changes; bespoke collar shapes and custom molded buttons require tooling/order minimums. Your sales contact identifies which details are “cheap wins” versus tooling decisions during sampling.
How are custom colors confirmed?
Against lab dips: fabric is dyed to your Pantone or physical reference, submitted for approval, and the approved dip is the shade standard for bulk. Threads and trims are matched to the same standard.
Can I customize packaging for a specific retailer?
Yes. Routing guides and packaging manuals are followed for retail and marketplace programs, including fold dimensions, polybag warnings, barcode placement, SKU labels and carton configuration.
