Fabric Sourcing FAQ

General Information

Do customized fabrics have a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Yes, customized fabrics usually have a minimum order quantity (MOQ).
For regular woven synthetic fabrics, the typical MOQ from domestic mills is 1,000 meters per color.
MOQ may vary depending on fabric type, specifications, and finishing processes.

Can the MOQ be lower than 1,000 meters?

In some cases, lower quantities can be evaluated, subject to factors such as:

  • Whether the fabric is a regular item
  • Availability of greige fabric or similar colors
  • Acceptance of price or lead time adjustments

We can help communicate with mills to explore feasible options.

What is the typical lead time for customized fabrics?

For regular woven synthetic fabrics, domestic production lead time is typically 15–40 days. The actual lead time depends on fabric type and processing requirements.

Why do lead times vary between different fabrics?

Lead times vary mainly due to fabric type and processing complexity, for example:

  • Regular plain or twill fabrics: shorter lead time
  • Special constructions or functional finishes (e.g. waterproof, wrinkle-resistant): longer lead time

We provide a clear lead time estimate before order confirmation to support your production planning.

Do you offer sampling?

Yes. Color swatches or fabric samples are available for most woven synthetic fabrics.
Sampling time and cost depend on the specific fabric.

Can fabric testing be arranged?

Yes, fabric testing can be arranged through third-party testing laboratories upon request. Testing items and costs depend on the required standards.

Which testing standards do you support?

Common testing standards include ISO, AATCC, and buyer-specified standards.
Please advise your testing requirements in advance.

Color Tolerance

How do you control color consistency?

What is the acceptable color tolerance?

Color tolerance is usually controlled within an industry-accepted range. Specific tolerance requirements can be discussed and confirmed before production.

Can you match colors based on Pantone or swatches?

Yes, color matching can be done based on Pantone references or physical swatches provided by the customer.
