Outdoor Wear Manufacturing Clusters in China
Ganzhou, Jiangxi
As you can see above, Outdoor wear buyers are wise to visit the southern, coastal, provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, as this is where most relevant manufacturers are based.Outdoor Apparel Tech Packs and Material Specifications
China’s Outdoor wear manufacturers are OEM suppliers. Hence, you shall not expect a catalog with ready made designs for your selection.
That is who our factory are. Respect buyers’ design with their thoughts. Hence, a full Tech pack with all details are very necessary.
to provide you with a Tech pack, you need to know what to include in one, when importing Outdoor wear from China:
The Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ), in the apparel industry, is sometimes rather complicated.
What many overseas importers miss, is that there’s actually more than one MOQ to keep track of. So, in order to just get to the point, I explain them all below:
Product MOQ: This is the minimum number of units the supplier must produce to make a reasonable (albeit very low) profit. This MOQ is, as explained, set by the manufacturer.
Size MOQ: In addition to the MOQ per product (or design), all manufacturers have some sort of minimum quantity requirement set per size.
While lower than the Product MOQ, the “Per Size MOQ” can be at least half as big. Hence, an MOQ order of, say, 500 pcs, may only leave room for two sizes.
Fabric MOQ: This is set by the material subcontractor. It varies often between different materials, and even subcontractors. Sometimes, the Product MOQ is a reflection of the Fabric MOQ.
Color MOQ: Same as the fabric MOQ, but per color instead of each fabric.
Regulations, Safety Standards and Labelling Requirements
Outdoor apparel is not regulated as a group of products.
The very same standards and regulations that apply to all types of clothing, is also applicable to Outdoor apparel.
As such, buyers in the United States and the European Union must keep track of the following standards and regulations:
Your brand haven’t started your apparel in the above way, that means you need find a correct supplier to help you.
That will be filled into your work procedure and then to be a real professional clothing brand.
