This section helps you review sample logic, MOQ policy, fast-sample fit, and the best first step before you send your brief.
How Sampling Works
Sampling helps you review fit, construction, fabric direction, labels, trims, and overall product execution before you commit to bulk production. It is especially important for new styles, private label products, and denim programs with more development variables.

7-Day Sample
A faster sample path is available for standard styles with confirmed specifications and workable materials. More complex products, custom washes, and unclear references usually need more time.

Decision logic
Best Starting Point
If your product direction is still being qualified, it usually makes sense to start with sample review. If your style is already clear and well-defined, we can assess whether it fits a more direct MOQ and production route.
How the Sampling Process Usually Works
A structured workflow from brief review to physical sample confirmation before bulk production.
1
Share Product Brief
Send your reference images, sample garment, measurements, or tech pack so we can review the product direction.
2
Confirm Materials and Construction
We review fabric, trims, wash direction, and construction details to confirm the practical sample path and MOQ logic.
3
Sample Development
The sample moves into development so you can review fit, finish, and whether the style is ready for production adjustment or approval.
4
Review Before Bulk Production
You confirm the sample, comment on required changes, and decide the best next step before bulk production starts.
MOQ by Product Direction
Use this as a starting reference. Final MOQ depends on fabric sourcing, trims, wash process, and construction complexity.
| Category | Standard MOQ | Complexity Level | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| T-Shirts / Hoodies / Casualwear | 50 pcs+ | Lower | Best for startup brands and first collections |
| Small Batch New Styles | Project-based | Medium | Controlled first runs with sample-first review |
| Denim / Washed Styles | 100 pcs+ | Higher | More development on wash, trims, and construction |
| Private Label with More Trims | Varies | Custom | Depends on labels, packaging, trims, and sourcing setup |
Questions Buyers Ask Most Often
Is MOQ the same for every product category? expand_more
No. Most categories can start from 50 pcs per style, but denim generally starts from 100 pcs because wash direction, hardware, and development complexity are higher.
Can I order a sample before bulk production? expand_more
Yes. Sampling is usually the most practical way to confirm fit, fabric, branding details, and overall execution before you move into production.
When is a 7-day sample possible? expand_more
A 7-day sample is usually possible for standard styles with confirmed specifications and available materials. More complex products often need a longer development timeline.
Can you support startup brands and small first runs? expand_more
Yes. We support startup brands, growing labels, and overseas buyers who need low MOQ, sample-first planning, and a clearer path into repeat production.
