OEM manufacturing generally starts with the buyer's design, tech pack or reference sample. The manufacturer produces garments according to the agreed specifications. ODM involves more support with product concept development and design. The scope of each project should be confirmed before work begins.

Provide the product type, technical specifications, size chart, material and construction requirements, branding details and estimated order quantity if available. A reference sample or product image can help clarify the project. Final quotation requirements depend on the garment and project scope.

Material and trim options can be reviewed according to your product specification, target cost, performance needs and sourcing conditions. Final selections depend on availability and project requirements.

Branding and packaging requirements can be included in the agreed product specification. Available methods, materials and components should be confirmed during project review.

Sampling is useful for reviewing fit, materials, construction and appearance before bulk manufacturing. Whether and how samples are required should be confirmed according to the project scope and buyer's approval process.

MOQ can vary with product design, materials, trims, construction, size and color breakdown, and sourcing conditions. Share your estimated quantity so the applicable order requirements can be reviewed.

Sampling and production timelines depend on product complexity, material availability, order quantity, sample approvals and the production schedule. A project-specific timeline should be confirmed after the requirements have been reviewed.

Inspection requirements should be agreed for each project and may include material verification, in-process checks, measurement and workmanship review, finished-garment inspection and applicable packing checks.
