Requirements depend on your market and product. We confirm what applies and arrange testing at accredited labs before shipment.
What affects MOQs and lead times

- The material and finish, especially special platings, colours or dyes
- Packaging that must be printed in your brand

- Testing or certification your market requires

Questions
Can I use my own colours and prints?
Yes. Factories make lab dips for colours and strike-offs for prints, which you approve before bulk production starts.
Can you source organic cotton products?
Yes. We work with GOTS-certified suppliers and check that certificates cover the actual products and stages of production.
How do you check colour consistency between batches?
Each batch is compared with your approved lab dip under the same standard light during inspection, and shade bands are agreed in advance.
