Pattern making, first sample, revised samples, courier charges and any fitting sample should be visible. Confirm whether sample fees can be credited later.
Build the cost sheet before choosing a factory
A low MOQ quote can appear attractive until sample revisions, fabric minimums, custom trims, inspection and freight are added. Ask suppliers to separate confirmed costs from estimates and identify which choices may change the final price.
Check stock versus custom fabric, composition, weight, color, printing or dyeing minimum, shrinkage and testing requirements.
Compare the same construction, seam finish, lining, zipper, buttons, embroidery or print. A simplified quote is not comparable with a complete specification.
List neck label, care label, size label, hangtag, barcode, polybag, carton and carton mark. Small custom accessory orders may have separate minimums.
Define measurement tolerance, workmanship checks, color approval, production photos, final inspection and packing proof before shipment.
Add freight, insurance, import duty, tax and payment charges. Ask a freight specialist for destination-specific advice rather than assuming the factory price is landed cost.
Four ways to keep a first order practical
- Launch fewer styles and colors so the fabric and trim route stays manageable.
- Use one approved sample and written measurements as the bulk reference.
- Choose standard labels and packaging before investing in complex retail presentation.
- Reserve time for sample comments, material confirmation and final inspection instead of planning from sewing days alone.
What to send a low MOQ clothing manufacturer in China
Send product photos or a tech pack, fabric direction, quantity by color and size, target market, labels, packaging and required delivery date. If you have a target price, state whether it includes labels, packing and freight. Clear inputs let an OEM clothing manufacturer judge feasibility instead of guessing.
Naidinise mainly produces women’s woven apparel and can also review kidswear and selected menswear. For suitable styles, the factory can discuss orders from about 100 pieces, with sample development usually 7–12 days and bulk production typically 15–20 days after details are confirmed.
