Common Questions
Answers buyers usually need before starting
Keep the project conversation practical with clear expectations around sampling, production and quotation inputs.
Which resource should I read first if I am new to yoga apparel sourcing?
Start with the Yoga Apparel Buyer Guide if you need a broad overview of product planning, sourcing decisions, and approval stages. If your project is mainly private label focused, the Private Label Activewear Guide may be the better first step.
When should I request fabric swatches instead of samples?
Request fabric swatches when your main decision is material comparison. Swatches are useful for checking hand feel, stretch, recovery, opacity, and color direction before you move into sample development.
Can I request a quotation from the resources page?
Yes, but the quotation will be more accurate when you can provide product type, reference images or a tech pack, fabric preference, estimated quantity, branding details, and shipping destination. If the project is still at concept stage, consultation is usually the better starting point.
What is the MOQ for projects mentioned in these guides?
Reference MOQ starts from 300 pieces. The final MOQ and size or color allocation depend on the product, fabric, construction, branding, and packaging.
What should I do if I am not sure whether my project fits OEM or ODM?
Review the OEM/ODM Yoga Apparel Guide first, then submit your concept, reference styles, or specification package through the consultation form. The recommended route depends on how complete your product information is.
Can these resources help with size charts and quality checks?
Yes. The Activewear Size Chart Guide helps with measurement structure and grading logic, while the Quality Checklist helps buyers review key checkpoints before bulk production and final packing.
