What is the MOQ for hoodies and T-shirts?

Hoodies open at 100 pieces per color. T-shirts and polos open at 150. Caps open at 200. A lower quantity is sometimes possible and the unit price rises because setup is shared by fewer pieces.

How long does sampling take?

A fit sample in an available fleece or jersey is typically 7–10 days after we have the spec and the artwork. A new dye or a complicated embroidery adds time, and we say so in the quote.

Can you match a Pantone color?

Yes. We submit a lab dip or a strike-off before bulk dye or bulk print. Approve it in writing. A screen photo is not a color approval.

Which decoration methods do you run?

Screen print, embroidery, puff, DTG, woven labels, and heat seal. The method depends on quantity, fabric, and the art. We will tell you when a method will not hold up.

Do you work with new brands or only large wholesalers?

Both, as long as the MOQ is met and the brief is clear. A new brand with one hoodie and a tech pack is a normal program. An unclear brief with no quantity is not.

What Incoterms do you offer?

FOB Shenzhen and EXW Dongguan are standard. Other terms can be quoted when the forwarder is named. We do not guess freight.

How do you handle a quality miss?

If the bulk misses the approved sample because of our work, we repair, remake, or credit the affected pieces. You receive a photo report before shipment so most issues are caught here, not at your warehouse.

Can you pack for Amazon FBA?

Yes. Send the label file and the carton rules with the order. We apply them and photograph a finished carton before the truck leaves.

Questions buyers ask first

MOQ, sampling, color, decoration, and shipping.

Read the full FAQ

Send the tech pack. We will cost the program.

A quantity, a fabric target, and a decoration method are enough to start. Sampling follows the quote, not the other way around.

Fitwell and a typical outsourced path

Many buyers reach a workshop through two agents. We quote and sew on one floor.

Topic	FITWELLAPPAREL	Typical outsourced path
Who you talk to	Sales and the account manager on this floor	An agent who then asks the workshop
MOQ	Published floors, then a quote	Often hidden until the third email
Sample	The bulk is cut to the approved sample	Sample and bulk sometimes come from different rooms
Price	Fabric, make, and decoration listed	One number with the margin buried
QC	Photos before the carton closes	Often a count at the forwarder
Decoration	Print and embroidery on site	A second factory and a second delay
Lead time	Counted from approval, in writing	A range that moves when you ask
Account	One person stays on the order	A shared inbox
