Sourcing Notes
What buyers should confirm before placing an activewear order
Activewear sourcing works best when the product details are clear before quotation. Buyers should confirm the target category, model reference, quantity, size range, color direction, fabric preference, logo method, packaging needs and destination country. These details help the sales team recommend practical options instead of giving a generic price.
For private label projects, sample confirmation is important because activewear fit depends on pattern, fabric stretch, seam placement and compression level. A sample can help check body fit, hand feel, logo position, opacity, waistband comfort and packing details before bulk production starts.
| Order detail | Why it matters | What to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Affects fabric availability, MOQ and production planning | Estimated pieces per style and color |
| Fabric | Changes stretch, hand feel, opacity and cost | Reference fabric, GSM or usage scenario |
| Logo / label | Affects sampling method and lead time | Vector artwork, placement and size |
| Packaging | Important for retail, e-commerce and wholesale orders | Hang tag, bag, carton and barcode needs |
