Every minimum we have, in one table
No form, no call, no “contact us for details”. If a number changes we change it here first and everywhere else the same day.
What is the minimum order for every product?
| Garment | Minimum | Sample | Bulk | Sizes per run |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hoodies | 25 pieces | 7 days | 15 days | Up to 6 |
| Sweatshirts | 25 pieces | 7 days | 15 days | Up to 6 |
| T-shirts | 25 pieces | 7 days | 12 days | Up to 6 |
| Tracksuits and sets | 25 sets | 7 days | 15 days | Up to 6 |
| Streetwear bottoms | 25 pieces | 7 days | 15 days | Up to 6 |
| Team uniforms, sublimated | 25 kits | 7 days | 15 days | Full size run |
| Jackets and outerwear | 30 pieces | 10 days | 20 days | Up to 5 |
| Caps and bucket hats | 50 pieces | 7 days | 15 days | One size or 2 |
| Beanies | 50 pieces | 7 days | 15 days | One size |
| Activewear and leggings | 50 pieces | 10 days | 18 days | Up to 6 |
| Socks | 100 pairs | 10 days | 18 days | Up to 3 |
Minimums are per style and per colourway. Three colourways of one hoodie is 75 pieces, not 25.
Why do minimums differ by product?
Because the fixed cost of starting a run differs by product. A cut and sew garment is cut from fabric that already exists on a roll. A knitted product commits a yarn lot to a colour before a single piece is made.
| Driver | Effect on the minimum |
|---|---|
| Fabric dyed to order | Raises it, the lot has to be committed |
| Yarn dyed to order | Raises it further, socks and beanies |
| Component count | Raises it, jackets carry the most trims |
| Machine programming | Raises it, sock jacquards and knitwear |
| Cutting from stock fabric | Lowers it, most fleece and jersey |
| Sublimation, printed per piece | Lowers it, no colour setup at all |
What does a small run cost compared to a large one?
Roughly 30 to 45 percent more per unit at 25 pieces than at 300. The index below is relative, not a price list, because a real price depends on fabric, weight, decoration and trims.
| Quantity | Relative unit price | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| 25 pieces | 1.40× | Marker waste, line changeover, setup spread thin |
| 50 pieces | 1.25× | Setup spread over twice the pieces |
| 100 pieces | 1.12× | Screen printing becomes viable |
| 300 pieces | 1.00× baseline | Efficient run length |
| 1,000 pieces | 0.88× | Fabric bought by the lot, line runs uninterrupted |
The trade is straightforward. You pay more per piece and you risk far less money finding out whether the piece sells.
What is included in a quote, and what is not?

Freight is quoted as a separate line so you can see it and compare it, rather than buried in a unit price.
How does sample cost work?
Sampling is charged at cost, invoiced before we cut, and credited back in full against your first bulk order once you place it.
If you sample and do not proceed, you keep the garment and we keep the sample fee. That is the whole arrangement and there is nothing else behind it.
