Frequently Asked Questions

A Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is the lowest number of garment pieces a manufacturer requires to set up cutting tables, dye lots, and sewing lines economically. In custom knitted apparel, a 100-piece MOQ per style/colorway represents the optimal balance for emerging fashion brands and startups to test market demand without carrying excess inventory risk.

Apparel manufacturing costs decrease as order volume increases. Fixed initial costs—such as pattern grading, marker nesting, screen stencil burning, and machine calibration—are distributed across more units in larger runs (e.g. 500+ pcs), significantly lowering the per-piece manufacturing cost compared to smaller sample batches.
