Why Sampling Matters
The approved sample becomes the bulk production standard. Buyers can check fit, collar shape, stitching, button position, logo size, label placement, and finish before the full order starts.
Fit Check
Confirm chest, shoulder, sleeve, body length, and movement before size grading.
Logo Check
Review embroidery or print size, color, position, and backing before bulk work.
Fabric Check
Check hand feel, weight, color, transparency, stretch, and care needs.
Packing Check
Confirm labels, hang tags, polybags, size stickers, and carton marks.
What We Need Before Quoting
Clear details help us quote faster and avoid wrong assumptions. A full tech pack is helpful, but not required.

Production Control for Bulk Orders
Bulk production follows the approved sample and confirmed files. We check the details that affect fit, appearance, packing, and repeat orders.
Fabric Check
We check fabric quality, shade, shrinkage risk, and fabric direction before cutting.
Measurement Check
Key measurements are checked against the confirmed size chart during and after production.

Packing That Helps Distribution

Common Lead Times
Lead time depends on fabric availability, order quantity, artwork, trims, and shipping method. These ranges are for planning.
Sample MOQ
Many custom shirt projects can start with one sample piece.
Sample Time
Most samples start after fabric, artwork, and measurements are confirmed.
Bulk Production
