Factory or trading company? Ask for factory photos and video, and check which processes run in-house. We run two factories of our own in Fujian and Jiangxi, covering knitting, cutting, sewing, printing, inspection and packing, so quality stays under our control from yarn to finished garment.
Fabric first. For underwear, fabric is the product. Combed cotton feels smoother, lasts longer and pills less than regular cotton. Always ask for the fabric weight in grams per square meter (g/m2) and request a swatch before bulk production. Our ready-stock vests and underwear use 175 g/m2 combed cotton; our T-shirts use 220 g/m2.
Printing quality. If you need prints, ask how they are made. We use cotton reactive digital direct-print technology, which keeps colors sharp and washable on cotton garments.
Sampling. Always approve a sample before bulk production. Check the stitching, the waistband, the fit and the sizing against your market.
MOQ and lead time. Get real numbers in writing. Our custom production starts at 5,000 pieces per color per style, with a fastest lead time of 20 days. Our ready stock starts at just 50 packs and ships from Guangzhou within 2 days.
Ordering and shipping. With us there is no online checkout: you send an inquiry, we quote, you pay by bank transfer, and we ship to your freight forwarder in Guangzhou. If you visit Guangzhou, come and see our showroom at Stall 01, Tianxiu Building, No.300 Huanshi Middle Road, Yuexiu District — near Metro Line 5, Xiaobei Station, Exit A.
Send us an inquiry today with the styles and quantities you need, and we will reply with a quote.
