Custom Knitwear OEM/ODM FAQ
Knitwear Development & Production Questions
Do you own the manufacturing facility?
No. We operate as a knitwear development and supply chain company rather than presenting ourselves as a single factory.
We coordinate production with specialized partner factories according to the yarn, gauge, knit structure and finishing techniques required by each project. Our team manages development, sampling, production coordination and quality control throughout the order.
What types of knitwear can you produce?
We support custom development of sweaters, cardigans, knitted tops, dresses and knitted accessories such as beanies, scarves and gloves.
Common machine gauges include 3GG, 5GG, 7GG, 12GG and 14GG, with knit techniques including jacquard, intarsia, cable and pointelle. We can also coordinate embroidery, screen printing, digital printing, beading, sequins, crochet and washing when suitable for the design.
What is your production timeline?
Our typical lead times are:
Sampling: 7–15 days
Bulk production: 20–35 days after sample approval
Actual timing depends on yarn availability, order quantity, gauge, knit structure, specialty decoration and production scheduling. We confirm the estimated timeline after reviewing your project requirements.
What is your sampling process?
Sampling begins after we review your tech pack, reference sample, sketch or product requirements.
We coordinate yarn selection, gauge, knit structure, measurements, colors and decoration requirements before developing the sample. The sample is then reviewed for fit, construction, hand feel and workmanship before bulk production.
Typical sampling time is 7–15 days. Bulk production begins after the required sample and specifications are approved.
What are your MOQ terms?
We support two main order types:
Stock programs: from 50 pieces per style
Suitable for available styles with simpler customization or branding.
Custom OEM/ODM production: from 200 pieces per style
Suitable for custom yarns, colors, measurements, knit structures, private labels or specialty decoration.
Final MOQ may vary depending on yarn requirements, color quantity, gauge, knit complexity and finishing processes.
What yarn options are available?
Our commonly coordinated yarn options include Merino wool, cashmere, cotton, wool blends and other commercially available yarn blends according to project requirements.
Yarn selection depends on the required hand feel, garment weight, gauge, appearance, performance and target cost. Yarn cards or available samples can be reviewed during development when applicable.
How do you maintain quality standards?
Quality control is coordinated against the approved sample and confirmed order specifications.
Depending on the project, checks can include:
- Yarn and material verification
- Measurements and construction
- Knit structure and workmanship
- Color and decoration
- In-process inspection
- Final inspection
- Packing and labeling
Where required, inspection standards such as AQL can be agreed according to the buyer's quality requirements.
What customization do you offer?
We support customization across the main stages of knitwear development, including:
- Yarn and color selection
- 3GG / 5GG / 7GG / 12GG / 14GG development
- Custom measurements and sizing
- Jacquard, intarsia, cable and pointelle
- Embroidery, screen printing and digital printing
- Beading and sequins
- Crochet and washing
- Woven labels, care labels, hangtags and packaging
Available options are confirmed according to the design, quantity and production feasibility.
Can you combine knitting with embroidery, printing or beading?
Yes. Depending on the knit structure and garment design, we can coordinate machine knitting with specialty processes such as embroidery, screen printing, digital printing, beading, sequins, crochet and washing.
During sampling, we evaluate factors such as stretch, fabric stability, garment weight and decoration placement to determine whether the selected technique is suitable for the knitted garment.
Can you develop designs from concepts?
Yes. For ODM projects, we can begin with a sketch, reference image, mood board or general product direction.
Our team can help translate the concept into workable knitwear specifications by coordinating yarn selection, gauge, knit structure, measurements, colors and suitable decorative techniques before sampling.
A complete tech pack is helpful but is not required for the initial discussion.
What support do you provide for new brands?
We support emerging brands that need guidance through their first or early-stage knitwear development projects.
Our team can assist with yarn and gauge selection, sampling, production feasibility, MOQ planning, private label requirements, quality control and bulk production coordination.
Stock programs start from 50 pieces per style, while custom OEM/ODM development starts from 200 pieces per style.
What are your shipping and logistics terms?
We commonly support EXW and FOB terms and can coordinate shipment arrangements with freight forwarding partners according to the destination and order requirements.
Export documents, packing requirements and shipping arrangements are confirmed before dispatch. Buyers may also use their nominated freight forwarder when preferred.
Do your products comply with international standards?
Compliance requirements are reviewed according to the destination market, product type, materials and buyer specifications.
Where required, we can source yarns or materials with relevant documentation or certifications, such as OEKO-TEX®, RWS or GRS, subject to supplier availability and the specific project.
Certification status and supporting documents should be confirmed for the selected yarn or material before bulk production.
