Question 1

What is the minimum order quantity for custom flip-stripe sweatshirts, and is it firm per style or color?

Accepted Answer

MOQs typically start at 25 units per style and colorway. The minimum is firm per combination - so if you want a crew neck in two colors, each color counts separately toward the 25-unit floor. Your production team can walk you through how to structure a brief to keep MOQs efficient across multiple styles.

Question 2

How much does a sample cost, and how long does it take before production begins?

Accepted Answer

Sample cost depends on complexity - materials like merino wool or tweed, plus decorations such as chain-stitch embroidery or custom zipper pulls, affect the price. Expect a sample in roughly 2-3 weeks after your brief is finalized. This timeline is separate from production lead time, so you can evaluate fit, fabric hand, and branding details before committing to a full run.

Question 3

What is the typical production lead time for flip-stripe sweatshirts?

Accepted Answer

After sample approval, production lead time generally runs 4-6 weeks depending on order size and decoration scope. For example, a run of 250 hooded flip-stripe sweatshirts in fleece with screen print graphics, woven labels, and custom packaging would land closer to the 5-6 week mark. Your production team keeps you updated with tracking at every stage.

Question 4

Do you offer tiered pricing at different quantity levels for factory flip-stripe sweatshirts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pricing tiers exist at 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 units - cost per unit drops as volume increases. Rather than publishing fixed prices, we generate a quote from your brief so it reflects your exact specs: material (wool, fleece, tweed, or merino wool), decoration methods, and style. Submit a brief and your team returns a detailed quote within a few days.

Question 5

What does private label and white label branding include - woven labels, hangtags, packaging?

Accepted Answer

Private label branding covers the full scope: woven labels at the neck, screen-printed care info inside the collar, custom zipper pulls on hooded or zip styles, hangtags, and custom packaging including branded boxes, polybags, or mailers. You can bundle everything into one brief or add branding elements a la carte. White label options are also available if you need unbranded blanks ready for your own finishing.

Question 6

Can you source materials from a brief, or do I need to supply a tech pack with named fabrics?

Accepted Answer

Either path works. If you have a tech pack specifying a particular wool weight or a merino wool blend, the factory can match it. If you're starting from a concept - say a heavyweight fleece body with tweed contrast panels - your production team translates that brief into sourced fabric options and swatches for approval before sampling begins.

Question 7

Can you grade patterns from my custom measurements instead of stock templates?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Submit your size spec or a reference garment and the manufacturing team will grade a full pattern set to your measurements - whether that is a slim fit range from XS to 3XL or a relaxed crew neck cut. No stock templates required; every pattern is built to your brand's fit profile.

Question 8

Can I mix sizes and colors within one MOQ for a single flip-stripe sweatshirt style?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Within a single style - for example, a raglan flip-stripe sweatshirt in fleece - you can split your order across multiple sizes and colors as long as each colorway meets the per-color minimum. Your production team helps you build a size and color matrix in the brief so the factory can plan cutting efficiently.

Question 9

Which factory decoration methods work best for flip-stripe sweatshirt designs?

Accepted Answer

The flip-stripe detail pairs well with several custom decoration options from our vetted factories: screen print for bold spot-colour graphics across the stripe panels, chain-stitch embroidery for a textured vintage feel, and woven labels for clean brand placement. Custom zipper pulls add another branded touchpoint on hooded styles. Your team can recommend the right combination based on your design brief and target price point.
