Manufacturing in China, Answered.

Our standard MOQ is typically 100 to 300 pieces per style/colorway, depending on design complexity and fabric customization requirements. For custom-milled or proprietary technical textiles, minimums may adjust to fabric mill dye lots. We also support trial capsule runs and iterative sample orders for emerging brands.

Sampling turnaround is generally 7 to 14 business days once tech packs, patterns, and fabrics are confirmed. Bulk manufacturing typically requires 30 to 45 days after the Pre-Production Sample (PPS) has received final client approval, depending on order volume and finishing details.

DISTRICT 88 manufactures five specialized categories: Fashion & Lifestyle (heavyweight jersey, fleece, hoodies, loungewear), Sportswear (activewear, gym apparel, ergonomic constructions), Cycling Apparel (aerodynamic jerseys, bib shorts, technical chamois, Italian sublimation inks), Technical Apparel (bonded seams, waterproof-breathable membranes, multi-pocket utility), and Swimwear (chlorine-resistant, UV-protective 4-way stretch fabrics).

We source through certified partner mills and facilities adhering to recognized international standards. Available certifications upon request include OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (harmful substance testing), GRS (Global Recycled Standard for recycled polyester and nylon), GOTS for organic cotton, and social compliance audits such as BSCI and Sedex.

Yes. DISTRICT 88 covers the full development cycle: digital pattern making, grading, construction engineering, technical solutions, and material sourcing. Brands can submit completed tech packs, physical reference garments, 3D CAD files, or creative sketches with dimensional briefs.

Our regional sourcing network covers premium jersey and heavyweight cottons (220–500+ GSM), French Terry, recycled fleece, performance synthetics (nylon, polyester, elastane blends), seamless circular knits, specialized mesh, waterproof-breathable laminated membranes, and technical 4-way stretch textiles.

Sampling is strictly iterative: a first proto-sample is cut and sewn from your specifications, then evaluated for fit, silhouette, drape, and structural performance. We incorporate adjustments into revised counter-samples until every measurement and detail receives client sign-off before mass production.

Quality assurance is integrated into every phase of the manufacturing line: raw material shrinkage/colorfastness inspection, in-line assembly audits, dimensional tolerance verification (strict AQL standards), and 100% final pre-packing inspection. Brands receive comprehensive photo and measurement QC reports prior to packaging.

Our standard payment terms are 30% deposit upon order confirmation to secure raw materials and initiate production scheduling, and 70% balance upon final quality inspection approval prior to dispatch. We regularly execute orders under FOB (Shanghai / Ningbo / Shenzhen), EXW, CIF, and door-to-door DDP air and sea freight arrangements.

Yes. We manage complete private label finishing, including custom woven labels, heat-transfer tags, FSC-certified hangtags, custom polybags, barcoding, and master carton export packaging, paired with end-to-end customs clearance and international freight forwarding worldwide.
