Question 1

What is the minimum order quantity for custom baby t-shirts, and is it firm per style or color?

Accepted Answer

MOQs vary by factory and depend on the complexity of your baby t-shirt design, but many of our 1,500+ vetted manufacturers start as low as 25 units per style per color. The MOQ is set per colorway and style, so if you are running a ribbed version in three colors, each color needs to meet the minimum independently. Your production team can walk you through options during the brief stage and match you with a factory whose MOQ fits your drop size.

Question 2

How much does a sample cost and how long does it take, separate from production?

Accepted Answer

Sample cost and timeline depend on the factory and your baby t-shirt specs - materials like organic cotton or bamboo, decoration methods such as embroidery or screen print, and overall construction. Typically a first sample ships in about 10-15 business days once your tech pack is approved. Your production team handles the sample brief, manages revisions, and confirms the sample is right before you green-light production. Sample fees are quoted on a per-project basis after your brief is submitted.

Question 3

What is the typical production lead time for baby t-shirts?

Accepted Answer

After sample approval, a standard production run of custom baby t-shirts in jersey knit with screen-printed graphics and woven labels generally takes 4-6 weeks depending on order size and factory capacity. More complex builds - like sublimation all-over prints or padded styles - may add a week or two. Your production team tracks every milestone from fabric sourcing through shipment so you can plan your drop with confidence.

Question 4

Do you offer tiered pricing for baby t-shirts at different quantities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pricing tiers exist at common break points - 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 units - with per-unit cost decreasing as volume increases. We never publish fixed unit prices because every baby t-shirt project is different; your brief captures materials, decoration, and specs, and then your production team returns a detailed quote with pricing at each relevant tier so you can pick the quantity that fits your budget and launch plan.

Question 5

What private label and white label options are available for baby t-shirts?

Accepted Answer

Full private label scope is built in. That includes custom woven labels at the neck, printed care-info labels, branded hangtags, and custom packaging such as branded boxes, polybags, or mailers. You can bundle everything into one brief or add items a la carte as your brand evolves. White label blanks are also available if you want to start with an unbranded baby t-shirt base and add your own branding elements later.

Question 6

Can you source specific materials like organic cotton or bamboo from a brief, or do I need a full tech pack?

Accepted Answer

Either approach works. If you have a named-fabric tech pack specifying organic cotton, bamboo, or jersey knit, your production team will match it to a factory that stocks or can source that exact material. If you are starting from scratch, just describe what you want in your brief - for example, GOTS-capable certified cotton for a sustainable baby t-shirt line - and the team will recommend materials, pull swatches, and build the tech pack for you.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If you supply your own size specs or a graded measurement chart, your production team will build patterns from your data rather than defaulting to stock templates. This is especially important for baby t-shirts where fit varies significantly across age ranges. The team can also help you develop a custom size run from a single base size if you need guidance on grading increments.

Question 8

Can I mix sizes and colors within one MOQ for baby t-shirts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can split your order across multiple sizes and colors within a single MOQ as long as each individual color meets the factory's per-color minimum. For example, a slim fit baby t-shirt order of 100 units could be divided across four sizes in two colorways. Your production team will confirm the breakdown with the manufacturer during the brief stage so there are no surprises at production.
