Most factories are set up for brands that already have tech packs, high volumes, and a production manager on staff. First-time founders have none of that — and get quoted minimums and processes built for someone else. We work the opposite way: start from whatever you have, keep the first order small, and give you the guidance a big buyer would get from their own sourcing team.

You do not need a tech pack to start

The most common thing that stops a founder is thinking they need a finished technical package before they can even ask for a quote. You do not. Send a sketch, a reference garment you want to improve on, or a clear description with your target price and quantity, and our development team builds the tech pack for you — recommending fabrics for your budget and engineering the fit before anything goes into production.

Start small, then scale what sells

A 100-piece minimum lets you put a real product in front of real customers without betting your runway on it. Launch a small first run across a few designs, track what sells through fastest, then reorder the winners at better unit costs and drop the rest. Because we store your patterns and specs, those reorders are quick and locked to the same approved quality.

What a first order with us looks like

  • Share your idea — a sketch, sample, or description with quantity and budget
  • Get a transparent, itemized quote within 24 hours
  • Approve a development sample in 7–10 days, revised until it is right
  • We produce your run with inline QC and weekly photo/video updates
  • Final AQL 2.5 inspection, then worldwide shipping with documents handled

Honest advice, not just order-taking

When a target price is not realistic at your quantity, we tell you what would need to change — fabric weight, construction, or volume — rather than quietly cutting corners to win the order. For a small brand, that kind of straight guidance is the difference between a product you are proud of and a first run you have to explain away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help if I have never manufactured clothing before?

Yes — first-time founders are exactly who our development service is built for. We create your tech pack from a sketch or reference, recommend fabrics for your budget, engineer the fit, and guide you through sampling and production step by step.

What is the minimum order for a startup?

100 pieces per design for knitwear, with colors often splittable within that minimum. It is set low enough to launch and validate a product without over-committing your cash.

How much does it cost to make a small first run?

It depends on fabric, decoration, and quantity, but as a guide, basic custom tees start around $2.50–4.50/pc and hoodies around $8–15/pc at moderate quantities. You get an itemized quote within 24 hours with no obligation.

How long until I have finished product in hand?

Most first orders complete in 4–8 weeks end to end: 24-hour quote, 7–10 day sampling, 2–5 weeks production, then shipping (3–7 days by courier up to 25–35 by sea).
