Programme · Small batch OEM

Small batch apparel manufacturing, from 100 pieces — on the same lines as our bulk programmes.

Most factories treat a 100-piece order as an inconvenience. We built ours into a programme: 100 pieces per style and colour, the same QC checklist, the same finishing standards, and a transparent unit-price curve at 100 / 500 / 1,000 pieces so you can see exactly where volume starts paying.

Who it suits

Why brands start at 100 pieces

Small batches are not a compromise — they are how modern brands de-risk their first production run.

Test before you scale

Run 2–3 styles at 100 pieces each, measure sell-through for a season, then put your re-order budget behind the winner instead of guessing with a 1,000-piece gamble.

Launch a DTC label

Sleepwear, loungewear and everyday basics are the natural first category for a DTC launch — low return rates, strong margins, and styles that do not expire with seasons.

Capsule & gifting drops

Limited capsules, corporate gifting and subscription boxes need small, reliable runs — not container MOQs. 100 pieces per colour keeps drops fresh without dead stock.

Unit economics

The honest version of small batch pricing

We quote the curve up front, so there are no surprises when you re-order bigger.

At 100 pieces
Full OEM service: tech pack review, lab dips, counter sample, inline and final QC. Unit price typically 15–30% above bulk — the cost of buying flexibility.
At 500 pieces
Dye lots and cutting consolidate; unit price drops meaningfully. Most re-orders land here once a style has proven sell-through.
At 1,000+ pieces
Bulk pricing with the same QC programme. Fabric can be booked at sample stage to hold your lead time and dye lot.
What never changes
The same amfori BSCI-audited, ISO 9001-certified lines, the same QC checklist at 100 pieces as at 10,000, and a bulk test report on request.
Terms
Counter samples 7–14 working days; production 35–45 days. Shipping EXW Jiangyin or FOB Shanghai.
