Reviewed October 28, 2026DIRECT ANSWER
What buyers need to know
Start with the product type, estimated quantity, intended use, size range, artwork status and destination market. The applicable MOQ, sample route and production timing are confirmed after the selected product, material and construction requirements are reviewed.
SPECIFICATION SNAPSHOT
Confirmed details at a glance
Use this table as a starting point. Final product details are confirmed against the selected style and approved sample.
| Starting information | Product, quantity, use, sizes, artwork and destination |
|---|---|
| MOQ | Selected custom projects from 10 pieces; confirm minimum per style, design, colorway and size allocation |
| Mockup | Artwork, color and logo placement review |
| Sample review | Fit, material, construction, branding and workmanship |
| Bulk approval | Begins against the approved sample and specification |
| Schedule | 3–7 day sample target after confirmed details and usable artwork; sourcing, new patterns and revisions can change timing |
BUYER DECISION TABLE
Match the specification to the intended use
| Option | Best suited to | Confirm before approval |
|---|---|---|
| Digital mockup first | Projects still resolving artwork, color and logo placement | Provide vector logos and visual references where available |
| Physical sample review | New fits, materials, construction or private-label programs | Record the approved fit, color, material, seams and branding |
| Repeat specification | Reorders based on an already approved product | Identify the previous specification and list every requested change |
What from 10 pieces does and does not mean
Selected custom projects are advertised from 10 pieces. Send separate quantities for each garment, design, colorway and size. The team must confirm whether your allocation qualifies; do not assume that ten mixed products or unrelated designs share one minimum.
When to request another sample
- A different pattern, adult / youth fit or measurement chart
- A different main fabric, liner, mesh or hem system
- Changes to side split, pocket, waistband or seam construction
- Artwork changes that alter panel alignment or branding positions
Confirm the complete quote
- Unit and sample charges, including any development work
- Whether requested labels and packaging are included
- The production schedule and shipping basis for the destination
- Reorder availability and minimums for the approved specification
What to prepare before requesting a quote
- Product type and estimated quantity
- Target users and intended sport
- Required sizes and fit direction
- Vector logo or available artwork
- Reference product and construction priorities
- Destination country and preferred contact method
Why MOQ and timing are project-specific
Materials, printing method, construction, size assortment, artwork readiness and packaging can change the production route. A supplier should confirm the schedule and applicable MOQ against the actual brief instead of treating one number as universal.
What the approved sample controls
The approved sample is the practical reference for fit, color direction, material, artwork placement, seam construction, labels and other confirmed details before bulk work begins.
WHEN NOT TO USE THIS DIRECTION
Limits buyers should confirm
- Do not treat one MOQ as universal across different products, materials and specifications.
- A digital mockup cannot replace physical checks for fit, hand feel, opacity or construction.
- Do not set a production schedule before material, artwork, quantity and packaging are reviewed.
BUYER FAQ
Questions to confirm before approval
Is one MOQ used for every custom fightwear product?
No. The applicable MOQ depends on the selected product, material, construction, artwork, quantity mix and project requirements.
Can a digital mockup replace a physical sample?
A mockup helps approve layout, but it cannot confirm fit, hand feel, opacity, stretch, seam comfort or finished workmanship.
What information is needed to start?
Provide the product type, estimated quantity, intended use, sizes, artwork status, destination and any construction priorities.
