Quick Answers

Questions buyers ask before their first order.

What is the minimum order quantity?+
Our MOQ is 500 pcs per style. Within one style you can mix panel colours and decoration placements, which helps smaller brand programs reach the minimum comfortably.
Can you match a specific Pantone colour?+
Yes. We develop custom-dyed fabric against your Pantone or physical swatch, and send a lab-dip or physical colour sample before bulk starts.
What customisation options are available?+
Flat and 3D puff embroidery, woven and printed labels, PVC and leather patches, screen printing, laser engraving, custom tags and hang tags. Send your artwork and we will advise the best process for the design.
How long do samples and bulk production take?+
Pre-production samples take 7–10 days including embroidery approval. Bulk production typically runs 20–35 days depending on quantity, decoration and finishing.
Do you handle international shipping?+
Yes — sea freight, air freight and express by DHL/FedEx/UPS, FOB Shenzhen or delivered door-to-door. We prepare export documents and can arrange inspection.
