5 Important Things to Consider When Looking for a Lingerie Manufacturer
When looking for a manufacturer, there are many things to consider, and it can be difficult to know what is important. It can also be very hard to know where to even start, so here are five important things to consider when looking for a manufacturer:
1. Experience: The more experience a manufacturer has, the better they’ll be able to understand your needs and produce high-quality products. Make sure to ask about their experience in producing lingerie or other products similar to what you’re looking for.
2. Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): This is the minimum amount of product that the manufacturer will produce for you. It’s important to find a manufacturer who has a low MOQ, so you don’t have to order large quantities and risk tying up your capital unnecessarily.
Most overseas manufacturers’ MOQs can often be quite high. This is because the manufacturer will need to cover the costs of setting up and producing your order, so they will need to ensure that they are making a profit on each product. If you can’t meet the MOQ for a certain manufacturer , don’t worry, there are many other options out there. You may need to do a bit more research and find a manufacturer that is willing to work with you, but it’s definitely possible to find one that has a lower MOQ size or can be flexible about the timing of your order. So before committing to a manufacturer, make sure to ask about their MOQ requirements.
3. Quality: It’s essential that you work with a manufacturer who can produce high-quality products consistently. Ask for samples of their previous work so you can assess the quality for yourself.
4. Manufacturing Processes: Find out how the manufacturer produces their products. This will give you an idea of the quality and level of control you can expect over the manufacturing process.
You should research as much as possible the manufacturer manufacturing processes. This will help you figure out if they are a good fit for your business. You should also ask about the types of sewing machines they have, if they have in-house patternmakers, in-house dying capabilities, etc. Make sure they have all the sewing machines needed to produce your garments, otherwise you will compromise quality and fit.
5. Turnaround Time: It’s important to find a manufacturer who can produce your lingerie in a timely manner.
