Seetime Luxury supports apparel brands, gyms and sourcing teams planning custom activewear, gym wear and related sportswear programmes. We review the product brief, customization requirements and production route before sampling and bulk production.
Choose the Right Production Route
| Your starting point | Suitable route | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| You have original designs, tech packs, size charts or specified materials. | OEM development | Technical pack, measurements, fabric requirements, artwork and target market. |
| You want to adapt an existing or semi-developed style. | ODM development | Reference style, desired changes, colours, branding and quantity. |
| You need labels, logo application, hang tags or packaging for a branded launch. | Private-label production | Brand files, logo method, labels, packaging details and delivery requirements. |
Buyer Planning Facts
- MOQ: bulk orders start at 50 pieces. The final MOQ is confirmed by the style, fabric, colourways, size range, logo method, packaging and customization requirements.
- Bulk timeline: bulk production is usually completed within 30 days after the sample, materials, artwork and specifications are approved.
- Production control: the project moves through order review, material and trim checks, pre-production approval, in-process inspection, and final inspection and packing checks.
- Testing: third-party testing can be arranged for a buyer or target-market requirement. Scope, laboratory, sample plan, timing and cost are agreed before production; final compliance comes from the issued report.
Starting with a smaller activewear order
If you are planning an order from 50 pieces, see the low MOQ activewear manufacturing guide for the information that affects quantity, sampling and production planning.
Developing custom leggings
For a leggings project, review the custom leggings manufacturer guide before confirming the fabric, waistband, construction, fit and branding requirements.
Product Scope
Training T-shirts, tanks, hoodies, shorts, joggers, sportswear sets and other activewear-related apparel can be reviewed for OEM, ODM or private-label production. Leggings, sports bras and compression products need early confirmation of fabric, fit, construction and testing requirements before production planning.
MOQ and Production Timeline
Our standard bulk MOQ starts at 50 pieces. The final MOQ depends on the style, fabric availability, colourways, size range, logo method, packaging and customization requirements. Typical bulk production can be completed within 30 days after the approved sample, materials, artwork and specifications are confirmed. Each project receives its own confirmed schedule before production begins.
What to Confirm Before Bulk Production
| Project checkpoint | What is reviewed | What the buyer should confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Order review | Approved specifications, size chart, materials, branding, packaging and inspection requirements. | The written product brief matches the intended order. |
| Material and trim check | Fabrics, labels, logo materials and accessories against confirmed requirements. | The selected material and branding components are suitable for the garment and market. |
| Pre-production approval | The approved sample and production-ready details before bulk cutting. | Fit, measurements, colours, placement and construction are ready for bulk production. |
| In-process inspection | Construction, measurements, workmanship and visible issues during production. | Any agreed inspection requirements are clear before the production run begins. |
| Final inspection and packing check | Finished goods, measurements, appearance, labels, packaging and carton marks before shipment. | Finished order requirements and shipment markings are correct. |
Testing for Buyer and Market Requirements
If a buyer or market requires third-party testing, the scope, standard, laboratory, sample plan, timing and cost must be agreed before production. Testing fees are separate. Final compliance can only be confirmed by the issued report for the submitted sample and selected requirements.
