Custom Apparel OEM Buying Guide for Brands
How B2B buyers should brief a T-shirt, hoodie and shorts OEM factory before requesting a quotation.
Start with the product architecture
Define fabric weight, fit, target retail price, size range, color plan and packaging before comparing factories.
Match craft to order economics
Screen printing suits larger solid-color runs, embroidery suits premium logo placement, DTG supports detailed artwork, and heat transfer fits variable names or numbers.
Ask for production controls
Request sample approval, size tolerance, color confirmation, carton marking and final inspection checkpoints.
Request a supplier review
Send fabric, quantity, target country and artwork notes so T-Shirt OEM Factory can recommend the right blank style and decoration process.
