MOQ starts at 50 pieces for logo or label customization on selected existing styles, and 100 pieces for full customization involving your own fit, fabrics, panels or design details. These are made-to-order options, rather than ready-stock products. Size and color combinations, along with any material minimums, are confirmed during quotation.

You can propose your own fabrics and trims for review. Before sampling, we need to confirm their suitability for the garment, compatibility with the planned printing and sewing methods, and availability for bulk production. We can also help source materials based on your requirements.
