Clothing Factory FAQs

Where is your factory?

Which garments do you manufacture?

Product categories include casual wear and activewear, such as T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers, casual pants, training tops and sports shorts. Share your specifications to confirm suitability.

How is capacity assessed?

Capacity is assessed against garment complexity, order quantity, material readiness, required processes and existing production commitments. Available production space must be checked for your requested schedule.

What is the MOQ?

Minimum order quantities depend on the style, fabric, color, trims and customization requirements. Send your designs and quantities per style and color for confirmation.

Can I arrange a visit or video meeting?

Contact the team with your preferred dates and review objectives. Factory visits and video meetings are subject to confirmation and site availability.

Can I appoint an inspector?

Request inspection arrangements before production starts. The inspection stage, scope, criteria, access and timing should be agreed with the team in advance.

How are changes handled?

Submit changes for review before implementation. Any effect on materials, cost, quality or delivery should be documented and approved before work proceeds.
