What We Can Do For You

From first sample to final shipment — every step under one roof in Guangdong, China

CORE SERVICE

OEM / ODM — Your Design or Ours

We manufacture seamless bras and shapewear to your specifications. Bring us your tech pack, or start from our proven pattern library — either way, you get factory-direct pricing with no middlemen.

Our 14-person sampling team turns around fit samples in 7–10 days. Once you approve the PPS (pre-production sample), bulk production takes 30–45 days with inline QC at 25%, 50%, and 75% of every run.

We handle pattern development, fabric sourcing, sample rounds, bulk production, quality inspection, and export packing — all in-house. No subcontracting. Your IP stays with us.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Quality Control

Every bra that leaves our factory has passed through five inspection points

Quality Control Inspection

Quality isn't a department. It's a process. Below is exactly how.

1. Fabric Inspection (Pre-Production)

Standard: 4-point fabric inspection system. 10% of every roll inspected under inspection light.

Rejection criterion: any roll >40 points per 100 linear yards.

  • Holes
  • Broken yarns
  • Color variation
  • Width deviation
  • Staining
  • Weave flaws

2. Cutting Inspection

Ply-stack height verified against pattern tolerance. Notch accuracy checked across the stack.

Random pick-sampling on the marker (3 pieces per 100). Color-continuity verified across rolls for large runs.

3. Inline QC (During Sewing)

This is where most factories skip. We don't.

25% inline check — first 25% of the run inspected for construction defects. If defect rate >3%, we stop the line.

50% inline check — same sampling, catches any drift during the run.

75% inline check — final inline before all pieces are completed.

4. Final Inspection

Standard: AQL 2.5 (general) / AQL 1.5 (critical defects). Sampling plan: ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 (Level II).

Every piece is visually inspected under standardized lighting. We check: seam integrity, hardware function (all clasps tested), size-tag accuracy, color consistency, and final measurements against tech pack.

5. Third-Party Inspection (Optional)

We welcome SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek, or any inspector of your choice. Our packing schedule can accommodate inspections without delay, provided you book 3 business days in advance.

What We Test For

Defect Rate

Our current rolling 12-month defect rate at final inspection is 0.8% (industry average: 2.5–3%). This is thanks to specialized sewing lines (operators repeat the same styles), heavy inline inspection (catching drift early), and pattern library stability (we reuse proven blocks).

Documentation

Every shipment ships with a QC report showing production run number, total quantity cut/sewn/passed/rejected, final inspection date, inspector initials, and any open issues with remediation.

CERTIFICATIONS

A Buyer's Guide to Certifications

OEKO-TEX, BSCI, and ISO 9001 — What They Actually Mean and How to Verify a Supplier's Claims

Every factory email you get will say "BSCI-audited, OEKO-TEX fabrics, ISO 9001 certified." Here's what each one actually does — in plain English.

OEKO-TEX Standard 100

What it covers: the fabric (and sometimes the finished product) is tested for harmful substances — azo dyes, formaldehyde, heavy metals, pesticide residues. It is not a full sustainability certification; it is a skin-safety certification.

How to verify: ask for the certificate number. Then search it directly on oeko-tex.com/en/label-check. If it doesn't come up, the claim is false.

Gotcha: "OEKO-TEX fabric" only means the fabric is certified. The finished bra — with trim, elastic, and hardware — may not be, unless the factory has a Class I product certification.

BSCI (amfori BSCI)

What it covers: a social compliance audit. Working conditions, wages, hours, safety, no child labor, no forced labor. It's an amfori-run program widely accepted across EU retail.

How to verify: BSCI audits don't have public certificates, but the factory can share its audit report (often a PDF dated within the last 2 years). The report shows an A–E grade. Below a C is a warning sign.

Gotcha: BSCI is an audit — not a certification. Passing today doesn't mean passing next year. Always ask for the most recent audit.

ISO 9001

What it covers: a quality management system. It means the factory has documented processes for how it handles orders, quality control, corrective action, and customer complaints. It does not mean the products themselves are certified — it means there's a repeatable, documented system.

How to verify: ask for the certificate. Check the issuer (it should be a recognized body like BSI, TÜV, SGS, Bureau Veritas). Check the expiry date.

What a Fully Compliant Factory Looks Like

What We Carry

Our factory is BSCI-audited (current grade A), ISO 9001:2015 certified (expires Dec 2026), and our fabric library is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified across 90%+ of SKUs. We can share all certificates and audit reports upon NDA — just ask.

If you need a specific certification your market requires (ACTA for US, REACH SVHC for EU, AATCC 135 for shrinkage), we can source lab-tested materials on demand.

MOQ GUIDE

How We Set MOQs

Ready Stock From 10 Pcs, Custom From 1,000 Pcs — Two Tracks, Two Minimums

The most common question we get is: "What's your MOQ?" The answer isn't one number — it depends which track you're on.

Ready Stock vs Custom Production

Ready StockCustom Production
What you're buyingExisting styles, as-isYour design, your specs
MOQ10 pcs1,000 pcs per SKU
Who it's forBoutiques, pop-ups, small retailers testing the marketEstablished brands, private label, scaling businesses
Lead time3–7 days4–6 weeks
Custom labelNot on 10 pcsYes, fully branded

Track 1: Ready Stock — 10 pcs minimum

We keep a curated range of best-selling seamless bras and shapewear in our warehouse. If you're a boutique owner, a pop-up operator, or a new brand testing the market — 10 pieces is enough to prove you're a wholesale buyer, and we're happy to ship.

No pattern fees. No tooling costs. No minimum fabric buys. You pick from what's on the shelf, and it ships within a week.

This is our answer to the question everyone asks: "Can I start small?" Yes. Ten pieces is real wholesale, not a sample order disguised as one.

Track 2: Custom Production — 1,000 pcs minimum

When you need your fabric, your colors, your label, and your pattern — that's custom manufacturing. And here, the honest minimum is 1,000 pieces per SKU.

The math is straightforward: a bra has 30–50 components. Every supplier has an MOQ per component. Fabric mills want 500m. Hardware suppliers want 1,000+ pcs. At 1,000 pcs per SKU: fabric utilisation is efficient with minimal waste, cutting dies and pattern costs amortize across a meaningful volume, QC sampling rates are statistically valid, and production lines run at rhythm delivering consistent quality.

Below 1,000 pcs, the FOB price doesn't look like wholesale anymore — it trends toward boutique atelier pricing. A bra that FOBs at $6 in a 1,000-pc run might cost $12–$15/pc at 300 pcs. We'd rather be upfront about that than quietly inflate your quote.

What if you need fewer than 1,000 custom pieces?

  • Start with ready stock. Validate the market with our existing styles at 10 pcs. Once you have traction, custom production at 1,000 makes economic sense.
  • Combine styles. Multiple designs that share the same fabric and trims can help reach the combined 1,000-pc threshold.
  • Capsule strategy. One style, 1,000 pcs, measure sell-through, then expand your line.

Tell us your brand stage and what you're trying to do. If custom at 1,000 isn't right for you yet, we'll point you to our ready-stock shelf instead of pushing you into a bad deal. Sometimes the right answer is "start with 10 pcs and come back."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ordering, MOQ, lead times, shipping, customization, and compliance

Ordering & MOQ

What is your minimum order quantity?

Ready stock: 10 pieces. Custom production: 1,000 pieces per style per color.

Can I split an order across multiple sizes?

Yes. For custom production, 1,000 pcs per SKU/color is the minimum; within that you can request any reasonable size distribution. Ready-stock orders start from 10 pcs total.

Can I split across multiple colors?

Not below 1,000 pcs per color for custom production. Each color requires its own fabric dye-lot.

Do you have a higher MOQ for custom-developed styles?

Same 1,000-pc minimum, but you'll pay a one-time development/sampling fee (typically $200–$600) which is usually credited against your first bulk order.

Lead Times

How long is sampling?

7–10 business days for a standard sample round. Complex custom work may take longer; we'll quote upfront.

How long is production?

30–45 days for bulk production after PPS (pre-production sample) approval. Complex orders or new fabrics may extend this to 50 days.

Do you offer rush production?

Sometimes, with a 15–20% rush fee. Depends on current factory loading.

Payment

What are your payment terms?

Standard terms: 30% deposit to start production, 70% against Bill of Lading copy (or before shipment for small orders). For established repeat clients we can discuss alternative terms.

What currencies do you accept?

USD, EUR, and RMB. Wire transfer (T/T) is standard. L/C at sight accepted for orders over USD 50,000.

Shipping
