MOQ & Samples

Start with the right quantity and review a sample first.

What is your minimum order quantity for custom apparel?

Our starting MOQ depends on the customization you need:

  • Logo or label customization: from 50 pieces per style.
  • Full custom development: from 100 pieces per style.

Mixed sizes are available. The minimum for each style and color is confirmed after we review the fabric, design and branding details.

Do you sell ready stock or ready-to-ship apparel?

No. We produce apparel to order and do not sell ready stock. The styles shown on our website are references for your custom order. We confirm the fabric, colors, sizing and branding before scheduling production.

Can I order samples before bulk production?

Yes. We can develop a sample so you can review the fabric, fit, construction and logo finish before approving bulk production. Send your tech pack, mockup, reference images or a sample garment, and we will confirm the development details with you.

How much does a sample cost?

Our standard sample fee is US$50 per piece, excluding shipping. A customized logo adds US$30. The fee covers sample development, material sourcing and production work.

We confirm the final sample charge after reviewing your garment, materials and logo requirements.

Can I mix sizes or colors in one order?

Mixed sizes are available within an approved design. Send your size breakdown and the quantity for each color. Color minimums depend on the selected fabric and customization requirements, so we confirm them as part of your quotation.

Customization & Private Label

Choose the fabric, fit and brand details for your collection.

Can you help me create apparel for my brand from scratch?

Yes. We can help develop the garment style, fit, fabric, trims, logo applications, labels and packaging. Start with a sketch, reference image, sample garment or tech pack. We review what is practical for your product and quantity, then agree on the specifications before sampling.

What types of fabrics do you provide for golf apparel?

Options include polyester performance knits, cotton blends, stretch fabrics with spandex, recycled-material options and stretch wovens for pants, shorts and outerwear. We recommend fabrics around the garment, target climate, preferred weight and feel.

Tell us if you need moisture management, quick drying, stretch recovery or UV protection. Performance claims and any testing requirements are reviewed for the selected fabric.

Which logo and branding methods are available?

We offer embroidery, screen printing, heat transfer, digital printing, silicone patches and woven labels, with other methods reviewed for your project. Private label options can also include neck labels, care labels, hangtags and packaging.

The right method depends on the fabric, logo detail, placement and intended finish. We confirm it during sample development.

Can I customize an existing style in a small batch?

Yes. You can use an existing garment style as the starting point and add your logo or labels. Light customization can start from 50 pieces per style, subject to the fabric and branding requirements.

These garments are produced for your order. Choosing an existing style does not mean the garments are available as ready stock.

What is the difference between OEM, ODM and private label?
  • OEM: we manufacture to your agreed design, tech pack or approved sample.
  • ODM: we help develop a product from your idea, references or an existing style.
  • Private label: we apply your brand identity through logos, labels, hangtags and packaging.

Private label can be part of either OEM or ODM. MOQ depends on the customization scope rather than the service name.

What should I send to request a quote? Do I need a tech pack?

You can request an initial quote without a finished tech pack. Please share:

  • The product type and estimated quantity per style.
  • Reference images, sketches or a sample garment.
  • Your fabric, color, size and logo requirements, if available.
  • Your delivery country and target date.

We will review the information and discuss any details needed to finalize the quotation. Send your project details.

Payment & Production

Understand the schedule and confirm the details before production.

How long does sample development take?

Sample development typically takes 5–12 days after the specifications are confirmed, depending on the design and material readiness. Custom fabrics, trims, logo work or sample revisions can affect the schedule.

Allow an extra 5–10 days during peak season. Shipping time is confirmed separately.

How long does bulk production take?

Bulk production typically takes 15–20 days after sample approval, depending on order details and material readiness. The schedule also depends on the quantity, construction and customization requirements.

Allow an extra 5–10 days during peak season. Tell us your target delivery date early so we can review production and shipping time together.

What payment terms apply to my order?

Payment methods, any required advance payment and the balance payment schedule are confirmed in your quotation or order agreement. Ask your account manager to confirm the terms for your sample and bulk order before making payment.

How do you check quality before shipment?

We check garments against the approved sample and agreed specifications. Relevant checks include measurements, stitching, logo placement, labels, finishing and packing details before shipment.

Share any specific inspection criteria or testing requirements before sampling so we can review them for your order.

Shipping & After-Sales

Plan delivery and know who to contact after your order arrives.

What shipping options are available for international orders?

International express options include DHL, UPS and FedEx. Your account manager can recommend a suitable delivery option based on the destination, order size, budget and target date.

We confirm shipping arrangements and estimated transit time separately from the production schedule.

Are shipping costs, duties and taxes included in the price?

Check the confirmed quotation for what is included. Freight, customs duties and import taxes depend on the destination and agreed shipping terms. Ask us to clarify the shipping charges and any costs you need to arrange before confirming the order.

What should I do if there is an issue with my order?

Contact your account manager with the order reference, affected quantity, photos or videos, and a clear description of the issue. We will review it against the approved sample and agreed specifications, then discuss the appropriate next steps with you.

Sustainability & Compliance

Review materials and supporting documents for your market.

Do you offer recycled or other sustainable fabric options?

Yes. We can review recycled polyester, organic cotton and other material options for your collection. Availability and MOQ depend on the fabric and order requirements.

Tell us which material claim or supporting document you need before choosing the fabric, so we can check the relevant sourcing options.

Can you support the standards required for my market?

Share your target market, intended product claims and testing requirements before sampling. We can review the selected materials and the supporting reports or documents available for your project.

A factory audit or certification does not automatically establish compliance for every garment. Applicable requirements need to be confirmed for the specific product and order.

Can you provide certification or compliance documents?

You can request our available ISO 9001, amfori BSCI audit and GRS records for your sourcing review. We confirm document validity and facility coverage for your project.

Material-specific documents, such as OEKO-TEX or recycled-material documentation, are reviewed for the selected fabric, supplier and order where applicable. Tell us the exact document you need so we can confirm its scope and availability before you finalize the material or make a certification claim.
