What information is needed to start a quotation?
Send the product type, reference sample or tech pack, target fit and size range, fabric composition and weight, colours, artwork, labels, packaging, quantity by style and colour, destination and required arrival window. Mark any unknowns so alternatives can be priced separately.
Ask the quotation to distinguish sample fees, material minimums, decoration, testing, freight and payment terms. The final price and schedule depend on the approved specification and quantity breakdown. See the OEM buyer guide for a comparison checklist.
What is the minimum order quantity?
There is no reliable single MOQ for every garment. The minimum may be set per style, colour, fabric order or decoration method. Custom dyeing, trims and printing can each introduce a separate material or processing minimum.
Share the style, fabric, colour count and target quantity, then request the minimum and price break for each option in writing. Ask whether sizes can be mixed within one colour and what happens if the final breakdown changes.
