FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
About Activewear Manufacturing
Your questions about activewear & sportswear production for Australia answered.
What are your typical MOQs for activewear?
Fully Custom Designs (OEM/ODM)
MOQs vary by construction method (e.g., seamless knit vs cut‑and‑sew) and by fabric/branding choices.
- Leggings/Tights: 100–300 pcs per style
- Sports Bras: 100–300 pcs per style
- Shorts/Joggers: 100–300 pcs per style
- Sets (Bra + Legging): 100–150 sets per style
- Sweaters/Hoodies: 80–150 pcs per style
Factors that impact MOQs:
- Fabrics/Finishes: Mélange, jacquard, brushed “peach”, recycled yarns
- Dyeing/Colours: Custom‑dyed colours (PMS match) often require higher minimums at the mill
- Prints/Branding: Digital prints, screen prints, silicone transfers, woven/jacquard waistbands, custom trims/labels
Australia Starter Program:
- We offer “starter programmes” for new AU brands with reduced colour counts or shared base fabrics to lower initial risk and help you hit launch timelines.
In‑Stock Catalogue Styles (Blanks/Quick‑Turn)
Choose from our catalogue of stocked styles for ultra‑low MOQs and fast turns.
- MOQ: From 1 piece per style
- Branding: We can add your logo (e.g., silicone/ PU heat‑transfer, where suitable)
- Ideal for sampling the market, small drops, and test launches in Australia.
How long do samples and bulk production take?
Sampling lead time: depends on design complexity and material requirements.
- Standard designs/materials: approximately 8–12 days
- Specialised designs/materials: approximately 10–15 days
Mass production lead time: typically 35–45 days after pre‑production (PP) sample approval.
Notes for Australian buyers
- Tip: Lock in fabrics, trims and colourways early — PP sample approval timing is the biggest lever on delivery.
- Shipping to AU (indicative): express 5–9 days, air freight 10–15 days, sea freight 25–35 days to major ports (allow an extra 5–10 days for customs and last‑mile).
Can you match Australian sizing and fit?
- Yes.
- We use AU‑aligned size blocks and can grade to AU 4–24 (women) and AU XS–3XL (men).
- Provide your best‑selling measurements or a size chart; we’ll align fit through 1–2 rounds of fit samples.
- Plus size blocks are engineered separately to maintain compression, recovery and seam integrity.
What fabrics do you recommend for the Australian climate?
- High‑stretch nylon/spandex blends, or nylon/ polyester/ spandex blends for premium leggings and bras: cool handfeel, strong recovery, squat‑proof.
- We highly recommend seamless knitted fabrics and craftsmanship, as we work with several well-known brands that are very successful in the Australian market like ECHT, doyoueven, KBS sportswear etc., and their seamless fitness styles are very popular.
- Polyester/spandex blends for cost‑effective sets and colourfast prints.
- Brushed “peach skin” for winter lines; microfibre or mesh panels for breathability in warmer states.
- Recycled options (e.g., recycled nylon/poly) available with GRS documentation on request.
- We test for colour fastness (sweat/wash), pilling, seam strength; UPF and chlorine resistance available for specific ranges.
Can you do custom colours, prints and branding (private label)?
Colours (Fabrics)
- In‑stock catalogue styles:
- We can’t change the base fabric colour on stocked items. Colours are fixed to what’s available in the catalogue.
- Fully custom (OEM/ODM):
- You can choose from our standard colour cards for cut‑and‑sew styles, or provide a Pantone reference for seamless knit programs.
- We’ll run lab dips/strike‑offs for approval before bulk.
Prints and Branding (Applies to both in‑stock and fully custom)
- Logo/graphic methods:
- Heat transfer (silicone/PU), screen print, digital print (DTF/sublimation where suitable)
- Private label options:
- Custom hangtags, care/content labels, brand/size labels, packaging
Do you support DDP to Australia? How are duties and GST handled?
- Yes, DDP is available for many shipments. We’ll include freight, duties and GST in a single invoice where feasible.
- Alternatively, we can ship FOB/CIF and coordinate with your broker. You’ll pay 10% GST and applicable duty (activewear usually 5% under HS 61/62 unless FTA conditions apply).
- We provide a commercial invoice, packing list, HS codes and certificates as required.
