What private label files should buyers prepare?

Prepare woven label artwork, care label text, hangtag artwork, size sticker rules and packaging instructions. Clear files help avoid sampling and packing delays.

What private label items can be discussed?

Woven labels, care labels, size labels, hangtags, polybags, size stickers and carton marks can be discussed.

What does Licheng Knitwear manufacture?

We focus on men's sweaters, cardigans, knit jackets, jacquard knitwear and private label knitwear. We support B2B buyers with OEM/ODM development, sampling and bulk production planning.

Do you support low-risk trial orders?

Ready sample styles and selected custom programs can support lower-risk trials before larger seasonal orders.

Can a brand order a sample before committing to a production run?

Yes. Brands, including new labels preparing a first collection, can pay for a sample and see it before placing a production order. Two routes: a ready sample of a published style at USD 60 per piece in about 7 days, or a development sample from your tech pack at USD 150 per style, covering yarn sourcing, knit programming, one prototype and one revision round, in 15-25 days. Cashmere and mohair styles are quoted individually and shipping is charged at cost. Production starts only after you approve the physical sample, at our minimum of 30 pieces per colour with sizes mixed inside the 30. A sample does not commit you to a production run; we do not make garments for personal use.

Is the sample fee refundable or credited against a bulk order?

Our sample fee is not refundable. Yarn sourcing, knit programming, machine setup and hand linking cost about the same whether one piece follows or five hundred, which is why the fee exists at all. It is credited against your first bulk order placed within six months of sample approval: 100% of a development sample fee, 50% of a ready sample fee.

Private Label Knitwear Support

Our private label knitwear support capability helps buyers building own-brand sweater, cardigan and knit jacket programs with labels, packaging and repeatable sourcing details. The work focuses on practical B2B development decisions rather than retail-style visuals, connecting product direction, material choices, sample review, production feasibility and export-ready quality control. Buyers can use this page to understand what information should be prepared, which technical decisions affect cost and lead time, and how Licheng Knitwear turns an initial sourcing request into a sample-ready or production-ready plan.

Capability Overview

Technical Details

Technical review covers brand trim planning, woven label placement, care label requirements, hangtag support, packaging direction, sample review and bulk consistency. The goal is to make each development route clear before sampling: what the buyer should provide, what the factory needs to confirm, which risks may affect cost or lead time, and which details should be checked again before bulk production. In a normal project review, the team checks the buyer's reference photo, tech pack, target quantity, expected price level, yarn direction, gauge preference, trim requirements, label plan and target market. If information is missing, the page should guide the buyer toward practical next steps instead of forcing a retail-style product decision too early. This helps reduce unclear quotation requests, sample revisions caused by missing specifications, and production delays caused by late packaging or QC requirements.

Suitable Products

This capability is suitable for men's sweaters, full zip cardigans, knit jackets, vests, jacquard sweaters and ready sample styles adapted for private label. It is especially useful when buyers need consistent product specifications, repeatable sample feedback, private label presentation or a sourcing plan that can move from idea to production without unnecessary rework. Buyers working on multi-style programs can use the same capability framework across sweater, cardigan and knit jacket developments so that yarn, gauge, workmanship, packaging and inspection expectations remain consistent across the collection.

Recommended Markets

Recommended for DTC brands, boutique retailers, e-commerce sellers, wholesale buyers and apparel brands across North America and Europe. The emphasis is on sourcing confidence, clear communication, realistic product development and material decisions that match buyer positioning instead of generic fashion imagery. For North American buyers, the focus is usually practical development, commercial styling and clear RFQ information. For European, German and UK buyers, the focus often includes material handfeel, restrained styling, quality consistency and careful documentation. For Nordic and Canadian buyers, the capability is frequently connected with cold-weather layering, heavier gauges and wool-blend directions.
