Plan an apparel order before you request a quote

Use this practical guide to organize the information that shapes a realistic OEM or ODM quotation, sampling path and production plan.

The final MOQ, cost, sample timing, production window and compliance scope are confirmed after reviewing your product brief, materials and destination requirements.

Prepare an RFQ that can be assessed

Start with product category, reference images or a tech pack, target quantity, market and desired launch window. These details help define the next practical question.

Prepare your brief
02

Understand what shapes MOQ and sampling

MOQ depends on the style, fabric, colorways, trims and development requirements. Review the decision factors before assuming a minimum order applies to every product.

Fabric, trims, construction, print or embroidery, packaging, quantity and delivery destination all influence the scope of a quotation.
