Company
Supplier & Company Capabilities
Explore Company ↗POSEOEM operates a self-owned yoga and activewear production facility in Xiamen, Fujian, China. Founded in 2017, the business supports catalogue wholesale, light customization, OEM, ODM and product development.
The facility covers approximately 25,000 square metres and includes 356 production equipment units. Equipment units are not production lines. Confirm the process scope for your project; factory ownership does not establish that every fabric, finishing or testing operation is performed in-house.
Our self-owned facility is located in Xiamen, Fujian, China. This is the public location provided for company and sourcing information.
Arrange any proposed visit or sample delivery through the agreed project contact. A detailed visiting or delivery address is not published here. Confirm the contracting entity's registered details separately before placing an order; the brand name is not a substitute for a legal company name.
Identify the actual garment construction, rather than requesting an unrestricted activewear capability statement. Leggings, yoga pants, bras, tanks, tees, shorts, dresses, skorts and outer layers can require different machinery, pattern expertise and finishing operations.
Include the catalogue SKU or technical drawing, fabric type and important seams or trims in your request. Ask for evidence relevant to those operations. The presence of several garment categories in a catalogue does not establish that every construction or process can be produced in one facility.
Yoga and women's activewear are the product focus of this website. The catalogue and development content cover studio practice, everyday movement and selected training, running and court collection directions.
That editorial and product focus should be assessed alongside physical samples and relevant production records when evaluating a project. It is not a certification of sports performance. Requirements such as bra support, abrasion resistance or running comfort still need to be defined and checked for the specific garment, material and intended wearer.
The project tools are designed for brands, wholesalers, retailers, studios, e-commerce sellers and sourcing teams developing yoga and women's activewear. Buyers can prepare either a single-style request or a wider collection brief.
This description identifies intended users, not a verified client list or a claim that particular brands have placed orders. Explain your sales channel, destination market, development stage and approval responsibilities in the brief so the proposed scope addresses your business model.
A visit should be arranged only after the host, facility address, purpose and access arrangements have been confirmed in writing. The website does not provide an open-access visitor programme or a standing promise of factory entry.
Propose dates and the operations you need to review, such as pattern work, cutting or sewing. Ask whether the relevant work will be available to observe and which areas permit photographs. A visit to one site does not verify ownership or capability across a separate partner network.
POSEOEM has a self-owned activewear production facility. The specific division of work for your order should be confirmed against the garment construction and development requirements.
Ask which pattern, sampling, cutting, sewing, decoration, inspection and packing stages apply and where they will take place. Ownership of the facility does not mean every specialist material, finishing process or test is performed internally. No monthly capacity or production-line count is inferred from the facility area or equipment total.
Partner involvement needs to be established for the specific development route and production plan. Fabric manufacture, dyeing, specialist decoration and testing are distinct activities; the current website does not confirm an all-in-house process or a particular partner list.
Ask which operations would be external, who coordinates them, and how specifications and approvals move between parties. Changes to the agreed material source or specialist process should trigger a documented review. An external process should not be represented as an owned factory operation.
Both a focused range and a larger collection can be organized in the site's project tools. Planning a range does not confirm order acceptance, production capacity or minimum quantities for the proposed mix.
A small range can concentrate development decisions around a few coordinated garments. A larger collection needs clearer SKU ownership, material groups, approvals and quantity allocation. Submit the actual breakdown rather than relying on total collection volume; each style and material choice can introduce separate development or sourcing requirements.
The website has English and Spanish navigation. This expanded English FAQ is the reviewed editorial version; Spanish content must be completed and human-reviewed before being indexed as its full equivalent.
Interface language does not establish the languages supported by every sales contact. Agree the working language for technical specifications and approvals. Keep units, colour references and revision numbers consistent, and confirm the language available for a call before scheduling it.
Use evidence tied to the proposed product: relevant samples, construction details, process records and a clear account of who performs each operation. A polished website, promotional video or general product range cannot replace that verification.
Ask how a difficult feature in your brief would be developed and inspected. Compare the explanation with a physical sample and written specifications. Where appropriate, agree a site or independent assessment. Evaluate the evidence and its scope rather than relying on broad claims about experience, scale or equipment.
Begin with the legal contracting name, registration information, business address and the identity of the person authorized to issue the quotation or agreement. These records should be consistent with the proposed payment beneficiary.
Then request the production scope and documents relevant to your particular requirements. Do not assume a certificate applies to every site, product or period: check its holder, scope and validity independently. Avoid sending funds on the basis of a website name alone, especially while using a working-brand preview.

Products & Activities
Products, Activities & Collection Planning
Explore By Activity ↗The current catalogue contains 217 independent SKU records, including leggings, yoga pants, sports bras and bralettes, tanks, tees and long sleeves, shorts, active dresses, skirts and skorts, and jackets or layers. These are product references, not a live inventory feed.
Review each record for its own colours, sizes and documented construction. Do not infer an internal bra, cup pocket, lining or built-in short from a category label alone. Coordinating pieces remain separate products unless the source explicitly defines a set.
View catalogue style JYJN056 ↗Use the nine garment categories beneath All Styles to browse by silhouette: Leggings, Yoga Pants, Sports Bras & Bralettes, Tanks & Built-In-Bra Tops, Tees & Long Sleeves, Shorts, Active Dresses, Skirts & Skorts, and Jackets & Layers.
The category navigation filters the same underlying product records. It does not create additional SKUs or guarantee every feature mentioned in a broad category name. Open an individual style to check its actual construction, available source data and colour-image correspondence before adding it to a brief.
Yes. By Activity offers Yoga, Pilates, Barre, Studio-to-Street, Everyday Movement, Strength & Training, Running, and Tennis / Padel / Court collection directions. These groupings help organize selection around a use context.
An activity assignment is a development suggestion, not a performance certification. Model poses and campaign images do not prove suitability. Evaluate the selected style's coverage, fit, movement comfort and relevant performance requirements with samples before approving it for the activity or making a consumer-facing claim.
Leggings, yoga pants, bras, tanks and light layers can provide a starting assortment for a Yoga collection. Select silhouettes against the planned practice, coverage preference and range of motion rather than choosing solely from the activity image.
Check waist stability in folds, strap placement during arm movement, seam comfort and coverage under stretch. Gentle practice and heated, vigorous classes can create different requirements. Describe the intended setting in the brief and validate the selected fabric and fit; a yoga category label is not a test result.
Yoga collection direction ↗Close-fitting leggings, longer-line tops, suitable bras and light layers can be considered for Pilates. The choice depends on the wearer's coverage preferences and whether the collection is intended for mat or equipment-based practice.
Review seams and fastenings at contact points, waistband movement during flexion, and neckline coverage while bending. Loose details should be assessed against the planned movements and equipment. Do not assume every studio-styled garment works on a reformer; movement review and accurate construction information should guide the final selection.
Pilates collection direction ↗A Barre capsule can combine leggings or suitable yoga pants with bras, tanks and removable warm-up layers. The assortment can reference ballet-inspired styling without treating fashion details as evidence of performance.
Check leg and hip mobility, strap stability and whether layers or loose hems interfere with movement around the barre. Evaluate coverage in a shallow plié and controlled extensions on an appropriate sample. Matching colour alone does not establish compatible fabrics, support levels or a garment suitable for every class format.
Barre collection direction ↗Build around pieces that coordinate across practice and everyday dressing, such as yoga pants, tanks and layers. Define which garments are intended for exercise and which primarily provide coverage or styling before selecting a coordinated palette.
Review silhouette, layering ease, fabric appearance and care compatibility together. A smooth-looking fabric is not automatically wrinkle-resistant, and coordinated screen colours may not match physically. Keep each garment's SKU, measurements and order quantity separate so the range remains practical to sample, quote and replenish.
Studio-to-Street ↗Everyday Movement ↗Leggings, shorts, tops and bras can be reviewed for a Strength & Training assortment, provided the intended exercises and wearer requirements are specified. A tight fit or athletic appearance does not establish compression, support or abrasion performance.
Assess coverage during bending, waist stability, seam stress and any contact with equipment. Bra support needs a separate assessment appropriate to the wearer and movement. Request relevant tests where claims are important; a controlled pose in an image cannot demonstrate training durability.
Strength & Training ↗Start with the intended run conditions, distance, coverage and wearer needs, then review suitable shorts, leggings, tops or layers. The Running grouping is a selection aid and does not certify a garment for running.
Check fit in repeated movement, seam friction, fastening stability and any documented pocket construction. Breathability, drying, visibility and weather protection require their own evidence if claimed. Evaluate the actual colour, size and construction proposed for production rather than relying on an image of a model in motion.
Running ↗Assess freedom of movement, coverage, garment security and the specific features needed for the intended court use. An active dress is not automatically a technical tennis dress, and a skirt label does not confirm an inner short or ball pocket.
Verify those structures by SKU and sample. Review the effect of reaching, lateral stepping and bending on hems and coverage. Any support, moisture-management or abrasion claims need evidence beyond styling. Keep court-inspired appearance separate from demonstrated suitability for a particular sport.
Tennis / Padel / Court ↗Yes. A garment can reasonably be considered for several activity collections when its silhouette and development brief overlap. The same SKU should remain one product record with consistent specifications, rather than being duplicated as different products.
Activity associations do not override the need to assess fit and performance for each use. A layer chosen for everyday styling may need additional checks before being promoted for training. Keep the intended claims and sample-review criteria explicit when sharing a style across collections.
Yes. Build a Collection lets you assemble a selection for discussion, including complementary tops and bottoms. Coordinating garments do not become a single saleable set simply because they share a colour or appear together in an image.
Preserve separate SKUs, sizes and quantities for independently listed pieces. Identify shared colour targets and fabric expectations, then review physical compatibility. This prevents a successful top size ratio from being incorrectly imposed on the bottoms and makes individual style changes easier to track.
03 / 16 QUESTIONS
Ordering & MOQ
Wholesale Ordering, MOQ & Assortment Planning
Build a Collection ↗Our MOQ starts from 100 pieces. The final minimum depends on the selected style, fabric, colour breakdown and customization scope. Contact us with your project requirements for confirmation.
MOQ starts from 100 pieces. Final minimums depend on style, fabric, colour allocation and customization requirements.
Mixed styles, colours and sizes require project-specific confirmation.
You can propose several colours in the same project brief, but the feasible quantity for each must be reviewed. A colour listed in the catalogue is not proof that fabric or finished garments are available for immediate mixed-colour supply.
Provide the actual colour references and quantities rather than only a total. Ask whether small colour allocations affect material sourcing, pricing or timing. Once the allocation is agreed, keep colour names and identifiers consistent across the sample record, quotation, production instructions and packing list.
Review size assortments ↗A size assortment can be proposed for review using the size labels recorded for that SKU or a separately requested size development. Acceptance of the ratio and any minimum quantities must be confirmed for the project.
Supply a unit count for each size within each colour. Do not treat size labels as fixed US, UK or EU equivalents, and do not assume all 217 styles offer the same range. Approve the applicable measurement chart before turning an initial sales ratio into an order allocation.
Several independent styles can be included in one quotation request. Whether their quantities can be combined to meet any minimum depends on the actual material, production and customization requirements; the website does not promise unrestricted mixed-style ordering.
List each SKU separately with its colours and size allocation. If styles are intended to share a fabric or trim, identify that preference without assuming the existing materials are identical. Ask for line-level quantities, conditions and prices so one style's constraints do not disappear inside a collection total.
MOQ starts from 100 pieces. Final minimums depend on style, fabric, colour allocation and customization requirements.
Mixed styles, colours and sizes require project-specific confirmation.
Yes. You can prepare a project brief around one catalogue SKU; a complete collection is not required to use the selection or inquiry tools. Starting from an existing style gives the discussion a defined product reference.
Record the desired colour, sizes, quantities and any changes to the listed design. The request still needs feasibility, material availability and commercial review. MOQ starts from 100 pieces, with final minimums confirmed by project. A catalogue reference does not mean the product is ready to ship.
No. Catalogue inclusion identifies a style for product selection and development discussion. It is not a live stock declaration, and the presence of colour options or model images does not confirm available finished garments in those combinations.
Ask separately about current material and product availability for the exact SKU, colour, size and quantity. Obtain a dated response if availability affects your decision. Keep that response distinct from the catalogue so an older product record is not mistaken for a current inventory commitment.
Prepare a product-specific brief with the selected SKUs, colour and size quantities, destination and requested customization. The website's project and quote tools organize that information into a local draft; this preview does not send it to a sales inbox.
Copy or download the draft and retain its version for the quotation discussion once a verified contact channel is provided. A quotation should identify the exact scope and exclusions. The planner does not calculate a binding price, reserve inventory or confirm an order.
Pricing review needs the garment specification and quantity allocation, not just a photograph. Include the SKU or technical design, fabric requirements, colour references, sizes, branding, labels, packaging, destination and the delivery basis you want compared.
Separate optional changes from essential requirements so quotations remain comparable. Identify whether testing, samples, freight, duties or specialist packing are included or excluded. These inputs help define a quotation request; the website has no verified universal price list and does not publish the private source catalogue's prices.
Yes. The selection and quote tools can organize multiple catalogue styles into one local project brief. Keep each selected product linked to its own SKU and configuration rather than entering only a collection name.
Add any shared requirements at project level and record style-specific exceptions against the relevant item. Before preparing the draft, review colour and size allocations, requested changes and missing decisions. This workflow organizes your request locally; it does not send an inquiry, secure production space or merge independent products into a single set.
Use a matrix with one row per SKU and colour, then a separate quantity column for each applicable size. Include line totals and a grand total expressed in the same agreed unit.
If tops and bottoms have independent SKUs, count each garment separately. Only use a set quantity where the source and quotation explicitly define what one set contains. Check the arithmetic after every assortment change. The matrix is a planning control and does not establish that all proposed combinations meet production or material minimums.
A change should be submitted for written review before it is treated as part of the order. The original quotation may no longer apply if the total, colour distribution or size allocation changes.
Identify the affected lines and preserve the previous version for comparison. Ask whether price, material purchasing, packing or timing must be revised, especially if approvals or purchasing have already occurred. The website does not establish a universal cut-off, cancellation right or promise that changes can be accepted at any production stage.
A reorder can be reviewed against the original SKU and approved specification, but material, trim and colour availability must be checked again. A previous order does not guarantee indefinite availability or unchanged terms.
Provide the earlier order reference, specification version and any required changes. Agree whether new swatches, samples or tests are needed, particularly if materials or sources have changed. Retain the previous colour standard for comparison; separate production lots should not be assumed to have absolutely zero shade variation.
Calculate the order at style-colour-size level before dividing the budget. Adding colours and sizes increases the number of inventory combinations, even when the total garment quantity stays the same.
For illustration, three styles in four colours and five sizes create 60 combinations; 300 garments would average five per combination if allocated evenly. That arithmetic is not a recommended order, available size range or accepted MOQ mix. Build the actual curve around channel evidence and confirm each material and colour minimum separately.
Keep the approved style version, measurements, material identity, colour standard, trims and branding records from the previous order. A repeated colour name or fibre ratio is insufficient to establish the same fabric or appearance.
Review new material and dye lots against retained references before release. Recheck fit and performance when the material, finish or supplier changes. Record accepted differences in writing. Previous production does not guarantee uninterrupted fabric availability or a visually identical future dye lot.
Can I reorder the same style later? ↗04 / 18 QUESTIONS
Sizing & Fit
Sizing, Fit, Grading & Measurements
Review Fit & Sizing ↗Request the style-specific measurement chart before approving fit or quantities. Catalogue size labels describe available reference sizes; they do not replace a finished-garment measurement table with defined measurement positions and tolerances.
Check whether the document gives body measurements or garment dimensions, which units it uses, and which sample version it controls. Review any custom grading separately. A model's measurements can help explain an image but cannot establish the product's size chart or guarantee fit for another person.
Body measurements describe the intended wearer; finished-garment measurements describe the actual garment at specified points. They are related through fit and ease, but they are not interchangeable numbers.
Stretch garments can be smaller than body dimensions at some points, while a relaxed layer may be larger. Record whether a garment is measured relaxed or stretched and the method used. Negative ease or a close-fitting shape does not, by itself, establish a measured compression effect or a medical benefit.
Choose a base size that represents an important part of your intended customer range and can be reviewed consistently on an appropriate fit model or form. The choice should reflect your target measurements, not merely the middle letter in a size list.
Record the relevant body dimensions, desired ease and fit priorities before sampling. Keep the reference person or form consistent between revisions where practical. Approval of the base size should be followed by review of grading and important range extremes; it does not automatically validate every size.
Define measurement points such as relaxed waist width, hip width, front and back rise, inseam, thigh and leg opening on a flat, consistently arranged garment. Specify how the waistband and seams are positioned before taking readings.
Record whether each width is a flat measurement or a full circumference, and do not mix the two. If stretch measurements are needed, agree the force or method separately. Compare the results with the approved chart and tolerances rather than inferring fit from a garment held up in a photograph.
Measure the waist, hip, rise and inseam using agreed points, then include the knee, hem opening and any flare-start position needed to control the silhouette. Different leg shapes need more than one shared waist measurement.
Confirm the intended worn length and the reference footwear or barefoot use for fit review. A relaxed hem and a fitted upper leg may require separate checks during movement. Record left and right leg consistency where relevant, and avoid treating all yoga-pant shapes as the same leggings pattern.
Agree the relaxed underband, garment length, strap length and relevant front and back coverage points for the actual bra construction. The chart should state where each measurement begins and ends, including any adjustable strap setting.
Body bust and underbust measurements help assess fit but should not be substituted for garment measurements. Review cup pockets or removable inserts only when present in that SKU. Measurement conformity alone does not establish a support level; movement, comfort and the intended wearer require separate assessment.
Measure the outer top and the confirmed internal support structure separately. Outer length, chest and hem dimensions do not describe the internal band, lining length or cup-pocket geometry where those components are present.
First verify that the chosen SKU actually has an internal bra or support layer. Then define strap settings, band placement and the relationship between inner and outer layers. Review movement and comfort on the sample; a fitted tank or double layer should not automatically be labelled as a built-in bra.
Grading is the set of dimensional changes used to develop additional sizes from a base pattern. It controls how specified points change between sizes rather than simply enlarging every part by one percentage.
Agree increments for relevant widths, lengths and construction positions, including any differences across the size range. Review how fabric stretch and intended ease interact with the pattern. A consistent sequence of size labels does not prove that the grading suits your target customer or that the range extremes have been checked.
Use annotated measurement points on the style's specification sheet, supported by the approved sample. Define whether rise includes the waistband, where inseam measurement starts, and whether waistband height is measured folded, flat or along a seam.
These distinctions prevent two teams from producing different readings from the same garment. Record the units, sample state and agreed tolerances. Review the dimensions together during fit assessment: changing rise or band height can affect where the garment sits even when the inseam remains unchanged.
Document these features as separate measurements, using the actual construction and a consistent sample state. For adjustable straps, record the setting; for an elastic underband, distinguish relaxed dimensions from any separately specified extension measurement.
Cup-pocket dimensions matter only when the product has a confirmed pocket structure. Review access openings, insert compatibility and left-right alignment on the physical sample. Do not infer cup sizing or support from the pocket outline alone, and do not add an internal feature that the catalogue has not established.
A target-market size specification can be proposed for feasibility review. Provide your intended body measurements, fit preference, base size and grading requirements rather than asking for a generic US, UK or EU conversion.
Letter labels such as S, M and L do not map reliably to one fixed numeric size across brands. Review proposed dimensions and samples against your intended wearers. Development scope, additional sizes and related costs need separate agreement; the catalogue's existing labels do not confirm custom sizing capability for every pattern.
Use a dated, versioned fit report that identifies the SKU, sample size, wearer or form measurements and exact points needing attention. Separate measured deviations from subjective preferences such as a higher waist or a less fitted hem.
Annotate clear photographs and describe the requested change in measurable terms where possible. Consolidate comments from different reviewers before sending one agreed revision list. Preserve accepted details as well as changes so a correction to one area does not unintentionally reopen previously approved parts of the garment.
A rolling or slipping waistband can involve waist-to-hip balance, rise, waistband geometry, elastic tension, fabric recovery or a mismatch between size and body shape. Making the waist tighter is not a reliable single fix; it may increase digging or fold the waistband during seated movement.
Compare the approved size on relevant body shapes during squats, forward folds, seated work and repeated movement. Record where the waistband moves and check measurements before and after wear. Review pattern and material changes together, then repeat the checks across the intended size range.
How should fit comments be recorded after sample review? ↗Removing the front seam does not by itself prevent camel toe. Front-rise length, crotch shape, gusset design, fabric tension and the wearer's fit all affect how fabric sits at the front of the garment.
Review the construction on physical samples in standing and moving positions. Compare an appropriate size rather than asking wearers to size down for compression. A no-front-seam appearance should not be marketed as a guarantee of comfort or freedom from front-rise pressure for every body shape.
Review seam position, seam allowance, thread and stitch construction together with garment fit. A bulky seam in a high-contact area can feel different during repeated movement or when wet. A flat-looking seam is not automatically comfortable for every wearer.
Use wear trials relevant to the activity and inspect the garment inside out. Record the location and timing of discomfort, then compare revised samples. For shorts, include leg-opening movement and ride-up; for leggings, include inner-thigh contact and crotch-seam tension.
A single proportional enlargement is often insufficient for different body proportions. Petite, tall and extended-size development can require separate decisions for rise, inseam, waist-to-hip balance, thigh room and support construction.
Define body measurements and fit priorities for each proposed block. Request representative fit samples and boundary-size reviews before approving the range. These are development options subject to feasibility and sampling, not a claim that every catalogue style already offers those sizes.
Elastane percentage alone does not establish bra support. Underband stability, cup construction, coverage, strap geometry, lining and the interaction between fabric stretch and the wearer's bust all matter.
Define the intended activity and bust-size range, including underbust and bust measurements. Review lifting arms, bending and activity-specific movement on physical samples. Do not describe a yoga bra as high-impact support solely because its fabric is stretchy or its fit feels tight.
05 / 23 QUESTIONS
Fabrics & Performance
Fabrics, Stretch, Performance & Care
Explore Fabric Options ↗The checked 217-style table records nylon-elastane and polyester-elastane main fabrics, together with a polyester-only reference and a polyester-cotton reference. Some styles also list separate mesh or lining components. Use the individual SKU record for the exact composition.
Descriptive names such as peach, ice-silk or second-skin are not fibre names. The table links material information to products; it does not establish that every garment with the same percentages uses the same yarn, knit, finish or mill fabric.
Browse fabric references ↗They use different principal fibres, blended with elastane for potential extensibility. The fibre names are useful starting points, but they cannot independently determine handfeel, drying, cooling, opacity or suitability for an activity.
Compare actual fabrics with their knit structure, yarns, weight, finish and sample behaviour documented. A nylon blend is not automatically cooling, and a polyester blend is not automatically quick-drying. When performance influences the purchase decision, define the relevant test or review conditions instead of selecting by fibre label alone.
Composition identifies the declared proportions of fibres in a particular fabric component. It helps describe the material and informs further specification, but it is not a complete description of construction, finish or performance.
Read main fabric, lining and mesh separately rather than adding their percentages together. Ordinary elastane or spandex should not be renamed LYCRA® without evidence supporting that branded fibre claim. For consumer labels and purchasing documents, verify the exact component declaration and relevant market requirements instead of translating a marketing nickname into a fibre type.
No. Two materials can share fibre percentages while differing in yarn size, knitting structure, density, finishing, weight and manufacturing source. Their appearance, stretch response and feel may therefore differ substantially.
Treat identical ratios across catalogue SKUs as a composition grouping, not proof of one common material platform. If garments must match physically, compare approved swatches and request a shared material reference. A decision to use one common fabric across styles should be documented explicitly rather than inferred from the percentages alone.
Compare fabric references ↗GSM means grams per square metre: mass per unit area of the specified fabric. It describes fabric weight, not finished garment weight, and it should be recorded for a clearly identified component.
State the test or measurement basis and agreed tolerance if weight is an acceptance criterion. A heavier fabric is not automatically more supportive, opaque or durable. Those outcomes also depend on construction, fit and other variables. Do not add main-fabric and lining GSM values and present the result as one tested fabric property.
No. The current product specifications use main-fabric entries of 210–220, 220 or 220–230 g/m² according to the supplied collection rules. Read the value assigned to the individual SKU rather than applying one weight to the entire catalogue.
These entries are specification references, not laboratory results for every production batch. Separate mesh and lining weights are not established by the main-fabric value. If weight is critical, confirm the final material and acceptable range against a physical sample and the agreed measurement method.
Stretch describes how much a fabric extends under defined conditions; recovery describes how it returns after that extension is released. A fabric can extend easily yet retain unwanted growth after use.
Define the direction, load or extension, holding period and recovery time for meaningful comparison. Evaluate the finished garment as well as the fabric when fit retention matters. A hand pull or visual demonstration may identify issues for review, but it does not replace a controlled result or justify a broad recovery claim.
No. Elastane content alone does not establish verified stretch in two fabric directions or define how much extension and recovery occur. Knit structure, yarn arrangement and finishing influence the result.
If four-way stretch matters to your collection, specify the directions and performance criteria to assess on the proposed material. Agree a suitable method and record results rather than relying on the fibre percentage. A garment stretching on a model does not identify the test conditions, extension level or recovery behaviour required for a defensible claim.
Evaluate the exact fabric, colour, garment size and fit under agreed lighting, stretch and underlayer conditions. Coverage in a relaxed swatch or a dark-colour photograph cannot establish coverage in a lighter colour or a stretched garment.
Include the intended movements and any relevant dry or damp state in the review plan. Record the setup and acceptance decision so later samples can be compared consistently. An opacity assessment should identify its limits rather than being treated as a universal guarantee for every wearer and condition.
Only use that claim when evidence supports the intended meaning and conditions. A model performing a squat, a high fabric weight or a dark colour is not enough to establish opacity throughout the intended size and colour range.
Define the movement, stretch, lighting, underlayers and wearer fit used for assessment. Review representative samples and record exceptions or limitations. Avoid making an unqualified claim from one favourable photograph; the catalogue and this FAQ do not certify any SKU as universally squat-proof.
They need distinct, appropriate evidence for the proposed fabric or garment. Air permeability, moisture-vapour transfer, liquid moisture management and drying behaviour describe different properties and should not be treated as interchangeable test results.
Specify the performance question, method, sample conditioning and acceptance criterion with a suitable testing party. Record which material and colour the result covers. Fibre composition or a description such as lightweight cannot by itself confirm breathability or quick-drying performance, and one moisture test should not be stretched into several unrelated claims.
Brushing describes a surface treatment that raises fibres to change the surface character. It is not a fibre composition, and the word alone does not specify the degree of brushing, which side is treated or the resulting durability.
Request a physical reference and describe the desired surface on the relevant side of the fabric. Review appearance after the agreed care process and assess pilling or abrasion where important. Do not assume that every brushed fabric has the same softness, insulation or resistance to wear.
Record the structure alongside composition, weight and the intended component. Rib dimensions, mesh openness or a jacquard pattern can materially affect appearance and behaviour, so a structure name should be supported by a clear reference.
Identify scale, orientation and placement on the garment, and confirm whether a decorative effect is knitted, woven or applied. Review the physical sample for coverage and stretch where relevant. A reference photograph helps communicate appearance but cannot confirm the yarn, construction or performance of an unverified material.
Keep each component on its own line with its location, composition and any confirmed weight or material reference. The main fabric's information should not automatically be copied to a lining or mesh panel.
A bill of materials can connect these entries to the drawing and sample version. Where a component is not documented, request clarification rather than borrowing data from a visually similar SKU. Distinguish material records from the finished garment's overall labelling requirements; a combined label decision needs the correct product and market context.
Custom-dyed or specially developed fabric starts from one fabric dye lot, approximately 500 kg, subject to the fabric mill, composition, construction, colour and finishing requirements. This is a fabric minimum, not a fixed number of garments.
Actual garment yield depends on product category, sizes, fabric width, marker layout and loss. Approve a physical colour reference and the required fabric specification; do not convert the fabric minimum into a guaranteed garment quantity. Individual materials may have different final requirements.
Care instructions should reflect the actual finished garment, including its fabrics, trims, prints and assembly, rather than a generic rule based only on fibre percentages. Check the proposed care process against appropriate evidence and destination-market requirements.
Record any limitations and confirm label wording before production. A main fabric that tolerates a process does not prove that an applied logo or elastic will behave the same way. The FAQ provides development guidance, not a universal wash label or a substitute for product-specific compliance review.
Buyers can define performance requirements for review, but no test coverage is automatically included or guaranteed. Identify the claim or risk first, then agree the method, laboratory or responsible party, sample selection and acceptance criteria.
Clarify costs, timing, report ownership and the exact material, colour or garment version covered. Testing a fabric does not necessarily validate the assembled garment. Results should be interpreted within their scope; they should not be converted into unrelated promises about cooling, UV protection, antimicrobial action or high support.
Moisture transport and visible sweat marks are different properties. A fabric may move moisture while still showing a wet-to-dry colour contrast. Shade, surface texture, fabric structure, garment fit and moisture amount can affect the appearance.
Compare the actual proposed colours and finished garments under consistent lighting, moisture application and observation times. Assess drying separately with an agreed method if a quick-dry claim is required. Avoid a sweat-proof or no-sweat-marks guarantee based only on fibre composition.
How are breathability and quick-dry performance confirmed? ↗Pilling involves surface fibres becoming entangled through rubbing. Yarn, knit structure, surface finishing and wear conditions influence the risk. Brushing can change surface character, but a soft handfeel alone neither proves poor durability nor guarantees resistance to pilling.
Compare candidate materials using an agreed pilling method and exposure, then review relevant garment wear and washing. State the method and result scope if publishing a claim. Absolute never-pills language is unsuitable without a defensible basis; also review contact with bags, rough equipment and other clothing.
How should fabric care instructions be confirmed? ↗Colour changes how a garment conceals contrast, while stretching changes the coverage of its fabric structure. Similar composition or GSM does not establish identical opacity across colours, sizes or body shapes.
Check each proposed shade on a finished garment at a representative fit and stretch, including bends and squats under agreed lighting and contrast conditions. Evaluate any lining or pattern adjustment for its effect on heat, comfort and stretch. Approval of a black sample should not approve the entire colour range.
How should opacity be evaluated? ↗Hot-yoga selection should consider wet comfort, garment weight, cling, coverage, drying behaviour and colourfastness to perspiration. Nylon or polyester content alone does not determine performance in a warm, humid session.
Review actual samples during a relevant wear trial and agree any required laboratory testing. Odour, antibacterial activity and moisture management are separate claims. Do not infer an antibacterial treatment, lasting odour control or a health benefit from a general quick-dry fabric description.
Colour transfer can involve rubbing, perspiration or washing, and those conditions need separate review. A dry visual check or an approved shade does not establish colourfastness during wet contact.
Identify the actual colour and material lot, then agree suitable rubbing, perspiration and laundering checks with a qualified laboratory where needed. Review contrasting components together and retain references. A strong colour story should be assessed for contact risks before production, particularly for dark trims beside pale main fabrics.
A tight fit, high elastane content or firm handfeel does not quantify pressure on the body. Garment dimensions, material force-extension behaviour and body measurements interact to create the wearing pressure.
Define whether the brief means a subjective held-in feel or a measured compression requirement. The latter needs a suitable testing approach and explicit acceptance conditions. Do not imply medical compression or health outcomes from ordinary yoga-wear construction.

Customization & Private Label
OEM, ODM, Customization, Private Label & Packaging
Explore Customization ↗The website provides a route for discussing manufacture against a buyer-defined design and specification. Treat OEM as a proposed project scope: the exact construction, production responsibilities and commercial terms need review before acceptance.
Provide a controlled tech pack, material requirements, size chart and approved artwork where available. Identify any decisions you expect the development team to resolve. The presence of an OEM route on the website does not establish that every technique, fabric or capacity requirement can be delivered without assessment.
Catalogue selection and development discussion can provide an ODM-style starting point, while private-label requirements can cover branding, labels and packaging. The available design work and the right to use any proposed design must be established for the project.
Distinguish a branding-only change from new pattern, material or construction development. Agree deliverables, ownership and approval responsibilities rather than assuming ODM includes unlimited design work or exclusivity. A catalogue record is a starting reference, not a blanket licence to every related design asset.
Custom development typically starts from 100+ pieces. The applicable minimum is confirmed against the design, materials, colours and production scope.
MOQ starts from 100 pieces. Final minimums depend on style, fabric, colour allocation and customization requirements.
Discuss OEM scope ↗Discuss ODM and private label ↗You can propose changes to an existing catalogue style as a defined adjustment brief. Retain its SKU as the starting reference and clearly identify which elements should remain unchanged and which need development.
Changing a fabric, neckline, length or internal construction can require more than adding branding. List each requested difference and request a feasibility review, revised specification and sample plan. Do not assume that the existing catalogue images or measurements remain accurate after modification; the approved revision should control the developed product.
A tech pack is a suitable basis for a development request when it clearly describes the design and specifications. Review is still needed to establish feasibility, missing details, responsibilities and the proposed sampling scope.
Include drawings, construction notes, measurements, materials, trims, artwork placement and revision identifiers. Flag provisional fields rather than allowing them to be mistaken for approved instructions. A file submission does not confirm that development has started or that the stated requirements, quantities and schedule have been accepted.
A reference garment can communicate silhouette and construction when you own the sample and have the necessary rights to use the design information. It should be accompanied by a brief explaining what to retain and what to change.
Identify measurements, materials and features that cannot be reliably established from appearance. Do not request the reproduction of another brand's protected marks or assume ownership of a physical sample grants rights to its design. Agree how the new specification and sample will document the proposed product.
Light customization for selected in-stock styles starts from 100 pieces. Options may include care or wash-care label replacement, hangtag removal or customization, printed or heat-transferred logos, customized packing methods and packaging replacement.
Confirm the selected garment, application method, artwork, label wording and packaging before approval. A digital logo mockup does not establish production compatibility or wash durability. Stock availability and any separate process requirements must be checked for the actual order.
They can be reviewed as connected development choices, but changing both requires a new material-and-colour approval basis. A colour approved on one fabric does not automatically transfer unchanged to another construction or finish.
Identify the target composition, weight, structure, handfeel and colour reference separately. Ask how the proposed material will be sourced and sampled, and what quantities or timing it introduces. Keep original catalogue specifications distinguishable from the proposed variant so quotations and approvals do not combine incompatible versions.
Yes, a buyer-supplied chart can be included in a development request for review. Specify whether the values describe bodies or finished garments and provide measurement diagrams, units, base size and grading increments.
Explain the intended fit and target size range. The chart still needs feasibility assessment and sample validation on the proposed pattern and fabric. A custom size label alone does not change garment dimensions, and approval of a chart on paper should not replace the agreed fit and size-set review.
The site's customization brief allows discussion of methods such as transfer, screen printing or embroidery. Suitability must be assessed against the actual fabric, artwork, placement and performance requirements; no method is pre-approved for every garment.
Provide artwork dimensions and colour references, then review a decoration sample for appearance, stretch interaction and care behaviour. Confirm any method-specific minimums or charges in writing. An attractive digital logo preview is a placement illustration, not proof of adhesion, durability or production feasibility.
Labels can be specified in a private-label brief, with each label's function, material, dimensions, wording and placement reviewed separately. The final arrangement needs approval against the garment and destination requirements.
A brand label does not replace a care or composition label. Check the product-specific wording, responsible-party information and any required language with appropriate market guidance. The website does not promise automatic compliance in every country. Preserve a versioned artwork proof so label contents do not drift between sampling and packing.
Packaging requirements can be proposed for review, including individual bags, product identification, carton marks and packing ratios. State the actual destination and sales-channel requirements instead of requesting a generic premium pack.
Confirm materials, dimensions, artwork, quantities and any variable labels separately from the garment specification. Packaging claims, such as recyclability or recycled content, require appropriate evidence rather than appearance alone. The website does not establish a standard package, universal packaging MOQ or automatic compliance with every retailer or market rule.
Supply editable vector artwork where suitable, together with a visual proof, dimensions, placement and colour references. Include any required font treatment and confirm that you have the rights to use the marks and graphics.
Provide separate files for different applications, such as garment logos, labels and hangtags, with clear revision names. Explain which elements may be resized and which must remain fixed. A screenshot alone may not support accurate production; agree the final file format and approved proof with the responsible production party.
Approve each material against a physical colour reference and review the components together. Fibre, knit structure, surface finish and thickness can change colour appearance; one colour code is a communication reference rather than proof of an exact visual match.
Agree the viewing light sources, acceptable visual relationship and any instrumental tolerance before bulk. Record separately approved main fabric, mesh, lining, elastic and thread references. A material or supplier change requires review rather than automatic reuse of the previous approval.
Can custom colours be developed? ↗Logo durability depends on compatibility between the application, fabric, colour, placement and process conditions. Stretchy or dark fabrics may require a different review from a stable, pale material. A logo file alone cannot confirm performance.
Test the proposed application on the actual material and colour, including relevant stretch and laundering conditions. Review cracking, lifting, colour migration and any heat marks. Agree the procedure and acceptance criteria before production; decoration changes need reapproval when material or process changes.
Pad movement can be influenced by pad shape and thickness, pocket dimensions, opening position and the relationship between lining and shell. Removable and fixed constructions have different cleaning, comfort and replacement trade-offs.
Compare a physical construction sample during movement and after laundering. Check pad recovery, outline visibility, pocket access and fabric distortion. Discuss the proposed construction as a development requirement; catalogue imagery alone does not establish that a product includes pads or a particular internal bra structure.
Seamless and cut-and-sew describe different construction routes. Seamless knitting can shape knitted zones, while cut-and-sew joins patterned fabric pieces. A garment described as seamless may still contain joining seams, elastic or separate components.
Choose the route around the required shape, size range, colour, branding and performance brief. Confirm machinery access, specialist partners, sampling and material minimums for the actual design. Do not infer seamless manufacturing capability from a no-front-seam legging or a photograph of circular knitting equipment.
Identify the destination, sales channel, responsible importer and proposed label content before artwork approval. Fibre description, origin, care information, responsible-party details and language requirements may need market-specific review.
Ask the buyer or their qualified adviser to confirm the current requirements for the actual product and market. Keep approved artwork and product specifications aligned, including main fabric and other components where relevant. A factory's generic label template is not a universal compliance approval.
Different claims require different evidence. Recycled-content documentation concerns material identity and traceability; antibacterial activity and UV protection need suitable product-specific assessment. One certificate or a supplier description cannot substantiate every claim.
Define the exact claim, component, percentage or performance requirement, intended market and any laundering or use conditions before sourcing. Request the relevant records and confirm their scope. Do not extend a fabric-level result to all finished garments, colours or future lots without a justified basis.
Agree the treatment of drawings, samples, patterns, artwork and development files before sharing sensitive material. Paying a development fee does not automatically establish every ownership right or an exclusive selling arrangement.
Document permitted use, access, subcontractor obligations, retention or return of files, and any exclusivity scope, term and territory. Confirm who can approve public photographs or client references. These points require a project agreement; the website does not imply an automatic NDA or exclusivity promise.
07 / 13 QUESTIONS
Sampling & Production
Sampling, Development & Production Timing
Sampling & Development ↗Yes, you can prepare a sample request for a catalogue style or proposed development before deciding on bulk production. Sample availability, charges, materials and timing need to be agreed for the specific request.
Include the SKU or design reference, colour, size and the questions the sample should resolve. A catalogue image is not a physical sample, and a sample request does not reserve production. The preview creates a local brief only; it does not submit an order or arrange sample dispatch.
Provide the design or SKU, intended sample size and colour, material requirements, measurements and the construction details to evaluate. Identify branding or packaging only where they are part of the sample's purpose.
Mark any open decisions so temporary choices are not mistaken for final specifications. Agree who supplies missing artwork, patterns or references and what constitutes a successful review. A concise but controlled brief is more useful than several conflicting screenshots or messages with no clear approval owner.
Sample charges should be quoted against the defined work: materials, pattern or construction development, decoration, sample quantity and any other agreed services. There is no confirmed universal sample fee or free-sample policy on this website.
Ask the quotation to distinguish development charges from courier costs and additional revisions. Confirm payment conditions before work begins. Do not assume a sample fee will be refunded or deducted from a bulk order unless that arrangement is expressly included in the written agreement.
The included revision scope must be agreed before sampling. A revision can mean correcting an agreed specification or introducing a new design requirement; those are different kinds of work and may be treated differently.
Define the number or scope of rounds, who consolidates comments, and how extra changes will be quoted. Keep accepted details stable between rounds. There is no published promise of unlimited revisions, and approval of one sample does not automatically cover later material, artwork or pattern changes.
A development sample explores or resolves design, fit and construction decisions. A production-related approval sample should represent the agreed production specification and materials to the extent expressly confirmed for that stage.
Sample names vary between businesses, so state the purpose and any deviations instead of relying on the label alone. Identify which decisions the sample can approve and which remain open. A prototype made in substitute fabric should not silently become the control for bulk material behaviour or final colour.
Record every substitute material, trim or decoration in the sample report, linking it to the relevant garment component. Explain what it replaces and which assessments are affected by the substitution.
For example, a temporary fabric can help review construction while remaining unsuitable for final stretch, colour or handfeel approval. Mark such limitations before the review takes place and identify the confirmation needed on the intended material. Preserve the deviation list with the sample version so it cannot be lost when the garment changes hands.
Submit one consolidated, versioned response identifying the sample, each observed issue and the requested action. Use annotated photographs and measurements where they clarify a correction, and distinguish mandatory changes from optional preferences.
State which details are approved and which require another review. Conflicting comments from several stakeholders can reopen resolved decisions, so nominate an approval owner. Keep the response connected to the controlling specification and preserve the earlier version; informal messages alone are difficult to audit when a later sample differs.
Agree a release checklist covering the product specification, material and colour references, measurement chart, construction, branding, labels, packing and commercial scope. Include the sample version that controls production and any resolved deviations.
Identify the person authorized to approve and record approval in writing. If testing or inspection is required, agree its method, timing and acceptance criteria before release. A favourable comment about a sample photograph is not an adequate substitute for a defined production approval with outstanding issues closed.
3–4 days standard · 3–7 days custom
Indicative planning lead times. Final timing depends on specifications, material availability, quantity, sample approval and order confirmation.
Ask what event starts the quoted period, such as acceptance of the brief and availability of agreed materials. Distinguish working time from buyer review and sample transit. Pattern changes, artwork approval or unavailable trims can alter the plan, so obtain a revised schedule when the agreed scope changes.
15 working days standard · 20–25 working days custom
Indicative planning lead times. Final timing depends on specifications, material availability, quantity, sample approval and order confirmation.
Do not combine production time with freight transit or customs processing into an unsupported delivery promise. Confirm whether the stated milestone means completion, inspection readiness or dispatch. Quantity changes, material changes and reopened approvals can affect the schedule; a date entered in the local brief is a target, not an accepted commitment.
Review sampling time separately ↗Material availability, colour approval, specification revisions, sample feedback, testing arrangements and production scheduling can all affect the plan. The impact depends on when a change occurs and which activities rely on it.
Maintain a dated decision list showing the responsible party and next required approval. When a milestone moves, review dependent stages rather than changing only the final date. Keep buyer review time and transport time visible. This planning guidance does not establish a contractual extension policy or allocate responsibility for a particular delay.
A change after approval requires a documented review of cost, materials, production status and schedule. A small visual change may affect fit, colour coordination, decoration compatibility or already purchased materials.
Identify the revised specification and affected styles, then agree any new sample, testing, fees and timing before implementation. Retain the prior version and approval history. An approval for one material or construction should not be silently transferred to a changed product.
What must be approved before bulk production? ↗Plan separate milestones for brief completion, material approval, sample review, production release, inspection, dispatch, transport and destination handling. Factory production time is only one part of the launch schedule.
Assign an approval owner and a latest acceptable decision date for each milestone. Include time for possible revisions and logistics uncertainty. Reconfirm the plan when materials or specifications change; indicative website timing is not a guaranteed arrival date or an automatic rush-order service.
08 / 16 QUESTIONS
Quality & Inspection
Quality Control, Inspections & Documentation
Quality & Order Support ↗Check the agreed points of measurement against the approved chart using the stated method, units and sample condition. The inspection plan should identify the sizes and quantities sampled and the tolerances used for acceptance.
Flat widths, circumferences and stretched measurements must not be mixed. Record individual results and relevant deviations so the decision can be reviewed later. This describes an inspection basis; it is not a claim that a particular sampling level or measurement procedure is automatically included in every order.
Review the garment against the approved sample and written construction requirements, including seam placement, alignment, stitch appearance, loose threads and visible defects relevant to the style. Agree which issues are unacceptable and how findings are recorded.
Evaluate both external appearance and accessible internal construction. A visually neat seam does not establish its strength or stretch performance. The inspection scope, sample selection and acceptance rules should be confirmed for the order rather than inferred from a general statement about quality control.
Use identified material references and approved physical colour standards, linked to the specification and sample version. Compare the intended production material rather than treating a screen swatch or generated product image as the approval standard.
Agree viewing conditions, any relevant testing and the treatment of shade variation within or between lots. Keep main fabric, lining, mesh and trims identifiable. Record changes to the approved source or finish so a visually similar replacement is not assumed to have the same composition or performance.
Check these features against the approved construction drawing and sample, then assess their intended operation. Verify position, dimensions, attachment and interactions with the garment, such as a zip closing freely without catching nearby fabric.
Pocket presence and internal construction must be confirmed for the specific SKU. If seam strength, fastening durability or other performance is required, define a separate assessment or test. A quick visual check can reveal defects but should not be described as a laboratory result or lifetime guarantee.
Compare the applied branding and labels with the approved artwork, dimensions, placement and product information. Check variable fields such as size, colour or barcode against the actual garment and packing instructions.
Review legibility, attachment and any agreed decoration performance separately. A correct logo appearance does not establish wash durability, and a completed label does not by itself establish legal compliance in every market. Keep approved proofs available to the inspector so checks are made against controlled references rather than memory.
Reconcile the physical allocation with the approved order matrix and packing instructions at SKU, colour and size level. Totals alone can conceal an incorrect assortment even when the overall piece count matches.
Identify the unit used, especially where independently ordered tops and bottoms are presented as coordinated outfits. Check carton identifiers and any agreed inner-pack ratios against the packing list. The inspection plan should state whether counts are complete or sampled; the website does not promise a particular counting method for every order.
Yes, you can include a buyer checklist in the project brief for review. It should identify the product, measurable requirements, acceptance criteria and the stage at which each check is expected.
Separate visual checks, measurement checks, functional review and laboratory tests. Resolve conflicting requirements with the approved specification before production. Submission does not mean every item has been accepted or included at no cost; agree scope, resources, reporting and responsibility in writing, particularly for retailer-specific requirements or special testing.
A proposed independent inspection needs project-specific agreement on access, timing, scope and responsibilities. The website does not establish a standing right of entry or automatic acceptance of every inspection provider or procedure.
Share the proposed checklist, sampling approach, report requirements and booking conditions before confirming an appointment. Agree who pays, what happens when findings require review, and whether inspection must precede dispatch. An inspection report should be evaluated within its stated sample and scope, not treated as proof that every item has been tested.
Put the requirement in the written order specification before production approval. Identify the method and version, sample type, colours or sizes covered, conditioning, acceptance threshold, responsible laboratory and reporting requirements.
Agree when samples are drawn, how they are identified, who pays and what review follows an unsatisfactory result. A test requested after production may not fit the original schedule or scope. Do not assume an AQL reference, certification or supplier statement includes the particular performance test your brand needs.
Use a consistent document set: current specification, material list, measurement chart, artwork proofs, colour references, approved sample record and packing instructions. Each should carry a revision identifier and clear approval status.
Record which document controls if there is a conflict, and withdraw superseded versions from working use. Keep commercial and inspection conditions alongside the product approvals. The objective is traceability from the finished item back to agreed requirements, not a larger volume of unconnected files or informal messages.
Identify the order, SKU, colour, size, affected quantity and the specific deviation from the agreed requirement. Provide clear photographs or video, relevant measurements and the approved reference used for comparison.
Keep affected goods and packaging identifiable while the issue is reviewed, and avoid mixing confirmed defects with uninspected stock estimates. Record when and how the problem was found. This evidence supports a fair assessment; reporting an issue does not automatically establish cause, responsibility or entitlement to a particular remedy.
Compare garment measurements, shape and appearance before and after an agreed laundering procedure. Record fabric and trim lots, sample size, wash conditions and recovery time before measuring. Shrinkage, growth, twisting and loss of support are different observations.
Review material relaxation, elastic behaviour, construction and the care instruction together. A single unrecorded home wash does not establish the cause. Approve the actual care route with the finished garment and avoid assigning fault to the wearer or factory before examining the evidence.
A seam must accommodate the extension required by the garment. Needle, thread, stitch formation, tension, feeding and seam allowance can interact with the fabric; a seam that looks neat at rest may behave differently under stretch.
Inspect the inside and outside on actual production material, including high-strain locations such as crotch and waistband joins. Compare movement and laundering samples, document the failure type and review process settings. Do not prescribe one stitch count or seam type as a universal solution for every fabric.
No. An AQL value is part of a statistical acceptance-sampling scheme; it is not a promise about the exact defect percentage in a shipment and is not a substitute for an agreed defect classification.
Before inspection, agree the applicable standard and edition, lot definition, inspection level, sampling plan and acceptance or rejection numbers for each defect category. Confirm how safety-critical issues are treated. No default AQL 2.5 programme is claimed here; the inspection arrangement must be confirmed for the order.
Compare the affected goods against the approved sample, current specification and documented changes. Identify whether the difference involves material, colour, measurement, workmanship, branding or packing, and map it to the affected lot and quantity.
Separate the suspect goods and agree the investigation, inspection and disposition in writing. Possible actions may include sorting, rework or another negotiated remedy, depending on the evidence and contract. No automatic refund or replacement is implied. Unapproved substitutions should trigger review before further release.
Which documents should control the approved product? ↗Not automatically. A certificate must be checked for its holder, validity, product scope and the actual materials it covers. A certificate for one fabric does not establish that every lining, trim, print or finished garment is included.
Request the relevant certificate details and connect them to the proposed material and product. Verify label-use permission separately where applicable. This is a review checklist, not a claim that POSEOEM or all catalogue products hold a particular certification.
09 / 12 QUESTIONS
Payment & Shipping
Payments, Shipping, Customs & After-Sales
Prepare a Project Brief ↗Payment methods must be confirmed through a verified quotation or agreement with the contracting entity. This preview does not publish bank details, enable checkout or establish a universal list of accepted payment channels.
Before transferring funds, verify the beneficiary against the contractual party and independently confirm any changed instructions through a trusted channel. Do not treat a website brand name or an unsolicited message as sufficient authorization. Keep transaction references with the order records so payments can be reconciled against the agreed scope.
Payment milestones and conditions belong in the written commercial agreement. The website does not confirm a fixed deposit percentage, balance date or credit arrangement for all projects.
Clarify what each payment covers and which approval or production milestone it relates to. Distinguish sample charges, development fees, goods and freight where applicable. If the project scope changes, request updated written terms instead of applying the earlier payment schedule to new work. Preparing a local inquiry draft does not create a payment obligation or confirm an order.
The quotation should name the currency and the terms under which payment will be settled. No universal currency acceptance or exchange-rate policy has been confirmed for this website.
When comparing offers, check whether conversion, bank charges or intermediary fees affect the total received or paid. Ask whether the quoted price has an expiry date and how a later revision would be agreed. Do not compare numeric amounts in different currencies as if they were equivalent or assume the invoice currency can be changed without review.
Express, air freight and sea freight are supported planning options. The appropriate method depends on the destination, shipment size and project requirements.
Freight cost and transit timing require a destination-specific quotation. No fixed shipping cost or arrival date is promised by the website.
A buyer-nominated forwarder can be proposed, with the handover location, booking responsibility and required documents reviewed as part of the order arrangements. It is not automatically accepted for every project.
Clarify collection readiness, packing details, cargo identification and the responsibilities on each side of handover. Confirm how delays or changes in booking will be communicated. The forwarder's transit estimate is separate from the production schedule, and use of a nominated carrier does not by itself determine all risk, cost or customs responsibilities.
Customs services and duties-paid delivery must be explicitly agreed for the destination and shipment. The website does not promise DDP, duty inclusion, door-to-door service or clearance in every country.
Define the delivery basis, named place, importer responsibilities and included charges before comparing freight offers. Requirements vary by market and product, so use current advice from the responsible customs or logistics professional. A freight price without a clear scope should not be interpreted as an all-inclusive landed cost or guaranteed arrival date.
Discuss the commercial invoice, packing list and transport documents appropriate to the agreed shipment. Additional origin, product or market-specific documents may be required and should be identified with the responsible logistics or customs party.
Specify the issuer, required information, format and timing before dispatch. Do not assume that every certificate or preferential-origin document can be supplied. Ensure product descriptions, quantities and values are consistent across the agreed records. This is a planning checklist, not confirmation that every document is included for every destination.
Document the condition of the delivery and identify the shipment, cartons, SKU, colour, size and affected quantity as soon as the issue is found. Preserve packaging and record relevant carrier or receipt details.
Provide photographs of both the outer packaging and the goods, together with the packing-list comparison. Follow any reporting deadlines in the applicable transport and order agreements; no universal deadline is established here. Distinguish damage in transit from a suspected production defect so the evidence reaches the appropriate responsible party.
Resolution needs to be reviewed against the agreed specification, evidence, affected quantity and contractual responsibilities. The website does not establish an automatic refund, replacement, return or credit policy for every B2B order.
After the issue is assessed, record the agreed corrective action, responsible party and timing in writing. Keep the affected goods traceable and obtain instructions before returning or disposing of them. A remedy for one order should not be presented as a permanent guarantee for unrelated products or future projects.
Compare the same specification and delivery scope, including development, samples, revisions, tests, inspection, branding, packaging, freight and any destination charges relevant to the shipment. Allocate one-off costs across a realistic quantity rather than comparing garment prices alone.
Identify the named delivery place and who pays each item. Confirm duties, taxes, clearance and importer responsibilities with the appropriate destination professionals. No fixed landed cost, tariff rate or duties-paid service is promised by this general budgeting checklist.
Do you provide customs clearance or duties-paid delivery? ↗Provide the order, SKU, colour, size, lot or carton reference, affected quantity and a clear description of when the issue appeared. Include close and overall photographs, measurements where relevant, and the wear and washing conditions. Preserve representative affected and unaffected pieces.
Compare the evidence with retained samples and the approved requirements before assigning cause. Agree any return, testing or disposal instructions first. The review should distinguish isolated damage, material or process variation, specification disagreement and broader lot issues; the remedy follows the evidence and agreed terms.
How should a suspected quality issue be reported? ↗Close a complaint with a documented cause review, agreed correction and a check that the correction worked. An immediate commercial remedy can support the buyer, but it does not by itself resolve the production cause.
Record the affected material or process, owner, revised control point and verification sample. Link the change to the next order's specification and inspection brief. Refunds, credits, replacements, response deadlines and cost sharing must be agreed for the case rather than assumed from this workflow.
How are confirmed product or quality issues handled? ↗10 / 7 QUESTIONS
Sourcing from China
Sourcing Yoga & Activewear from China
Read Buyer Guides ↗Define the product and development requirements first, then evaluate suppliers against that brief. Relevant construction experience, clear specifications, sample quality and transparent responsibilities are more useful than an unsupported best-manufacturer claim or a long category list.
Request consistent information from each candidate and verify company identity separately from product capability. Review how materials, fit, approvals and inspection would be managed. A supplier suited to a simple catalogue garment may not be the right match for a new construction with demanding performance requirements.
Review legal identity and operational evidence together. Ask who owns or operates the relevant production site, which work is performed there, and which stages are coordinated through partners. Company descriptions alone may not resolve the distinction.
A trading or coordination business can provide useful services, but its role should be transparent. Compare the contracting party, quotation issuer and production scope, and seek relevant verification where needed. Photos of machinery or a factory address do not automatically establish ownership or responsibility for your order.
Use a specific product challenge to evaluate the development process: a fit requirement, material change or construction feature from your brief. Ask how it would be specified, sampled, reviewed and documented through revisions.
Examine the clarity of measurement points, material records and sample comments rather than judging only the final photograph. Check who makes technical decisions and how unresolved issues are escalated. A catalogue's size does not demonstrate the ability to develop every construction, and a successful unrelated garment is not complete evidence for your design.
Request a written sample scope identifying the product, size, colour, materials, purpose, expected deliverables and any known substitutions. Confirm the fee, courier arrangements, revision treatment and the event that starts the proposed schedule.
Check the contracting identity and payment instructions before transferring funds. Agree which aspects the sample can approve and what will require later confirmation. This separates a construction prototype from a production-material sample and reduces the risk of paying for a result that does not answer your buying questions.
Compare offers against the same product specification and quantity matrix. Differences in material, construction, branding, packaging or delivery basis can make a lower headline price an unsuitable comparison.
List included and excluded samples, tests, inspections, freight and other charges, then check currency, validity and payment conditions. Record any unresolved assumptions instead of silently treating them as included. Use the physical sample and agreed specification alongside the commercial comparison; a spreadsheet total cannot establish product quality or a supplier's ability to deliver the required design.
Combine verified company records with relevant sample review, controlled documents and a structured remote discussion of the actual production plan. Ask to see evidence tied to your garment and requirements rather than relying only on a promotional tour.
A live call can clarify processes but cannot independently prove all ownership, capacity or compliance claims. Consider an agreed independent assessment where the risk warrants it. Keep dated records of answers, sample versions and unresolved points so later decisions remain traceable across time zones and teams.
Confirm the contracting entity, current specification, approved sample, materials, colours, size allocation, quantities, packaging, price and delivery basis. Include payment conditions, schedule assumptions, inspection arrangements and the process for handling changes or issues.
Identify approval owners and record outstanding items before releasing the order. A catalogue selection or successful sample alone does not resolve all commercial and production details. Keep one versioned order file so the buyer and production coordinator work from the same requirements rather than different messages or earlier quotations.
