Frequently Asked Questions

As an experienced OEM clothing manufacturer, our standard production lead time is approximately 25-35 days once the sample is approved and the deposit is received. The exact timeline depends on order quantity, fabric type, and design complexity.

During peak seasons or for highly customized projects, the lead time may be slightly longer. In such cases, our team provides a clear production schedule and weekly timeline updates to ensure transparency and efficient coordination.

Thanks to our modern 2,000㎡ production base and experienced technicians, we maintain high efficiency and on-time delivery, even for large or multi-style orders. Learn more about our production capabilities.

Apparel sampling usually takes 7-10 working days, depending on design complexity, fabric availability, and customization requirements. For urgent projects, we can arrange priority sampling to meet tight deadlines.

We offer free basic samples (excluding special or high-value fabrics). For highly customized, intricate, or branded designs, a small sample fee may apply — fully or partially refunded once the bulk order is confirmed.

Our experienced sample development team ensures every prototype accurately reflects your design intent, fit, and fabric quality before mass production begins.

Every order, regardless of size, receives the same attention: same production line, same QC team, same delivery priority. We believe small brands deserve the same quality as large ones.
