For startups and small brands

Sweater Manufacturer for Startups and Small Brands.

Launch your first knitwear collection with a factory that explains every minimum, cost and step before you pay for a sample.

Low-MOQ knitwear, explained

Small enough to start, set up to grow.

Most new labels come to us with one of three things: a tech pack, a sketch or reference photo, or a style they like in our collection. Any of them is enough to start. We review the yarn, gauge and construction, tell you what the style costs at your quantity, and knit a first sample, normally ready 3–5 days after the details are confirmed.

Our standard MOQ is 300 pcs per style, split across colours from 50 pcs per colour and across sizes. If you want to test the market first, trial orders below 300 pcs are welcome. The unit price is higher because programming and machine set-up are spread over fewer pieces, and the quotation shows the difference. See how knitwear MOQ works.

Three ways to start

Start from what you already have.

Start from our styles

Choose from 300+ existing designs and change the yarn, colour, fit or details. The quickest and lowest-cost route for a first collection.

Lead timeFirst sample 3–5 days; bulk normally 30–40 days after pre-production approval.
PaymentNormally T/T 30% deposit and 70% balance against copy B/L.

Plan a lean first collection

Four choices that keep minimums and costs down.

Fewer styles, more colours

One style in three colours reaches 300 pcs more easily than three styles in one colour each.

Stock yarn colours

Stock yarns avoid the mill minimums that dyed-to-order colours carry.

Plain knits first

Plain and rib knits need 50 pcs per colour; multi-colour jacquard and intarsia need 80–100.

Labels ready early

Neck labels, care labels and hangtags can be added from the first sample or the pre-production stage.

FAQ

Questions from new brands.

Do you work with new brands?

Yes. New labels are welcome. We explain minimums, costs and timing before you pay for a sample, and help you simplify a style so it fits your budget.

Can I order fewer than 300 pieces?

Yes. Trial orders below 300 pcs are welcome. The unit price is higher because set-up costs are spread over fewer pieces, and we quote according to the quantity per style and colour.

Do I need a tech pack?

No. A sketch, a reference photo or a style from our collection is enough to start. If you have a tech pack, we work to it. See what a sweater tech pack includes.

How are my designs protected?

OEM designs are handled confidentially, and we are happy to sign an NDA before you share your files.

Can you add my brand labels and packaging?

Yes. Neck labels, care labels, size labels, hangtags, barcodes and retail-ready packaging can be added. See private label knitwear.

Which markets do you ship to?

Europe, Asia, Australia, North America, South America and the Middle East, on FOB Shanghai or Ningbo, EXW or CIF terms.
