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.

Can you make a single garment rather than a production run?

Yes, for brands developing a style. One development piece is fine, with no commitment to bulk: a development sample is USD 150 per style and covers yarn sourcing, knit programming, one prototype and one revision round, in 15-25 days (cashmere and mohair are quoted individually). If you then go to production, the minimum is 30 pieces per colour with sizes mixed inside the 30, and the full USD 150 is credited against a first bulk order placed within six months of approving the sample. We do not make garments for personal wear.

What if my first order is fewer than 30 pieces per style?

Our published MOQ is 30 pieces per colour, and that number comes from the dye lot rather than from machine time: yarn is dyed in batches, and roughly 30 garments' worth of yarn is the smallest batch that keeps both cost and shade under control. Because the floor sits on the dyed yarn rather than on the style, styles that share one yarn in one colour are counted together against it. Four styles at 25 pieces each, all in the same yarn and the same colour, is 100 pieces on a single dye lot and is accepted. What does not combine is a second colour or a second yarn - each is its own dye lot with its own floor. So the first question to settle is not how many styles you have, it is how many yarn-and-colour combinations they add up to.

Ready Sample Knitwear: Styles That Already Exist, From 30 Pieces

Most of what we make starts as your tech pack. These 51 styles started as ours. They are ready samples - knitted, photographed and costed already - so a physical sample can usually be with you in about seven days rather than the fifteen to twenty-five a new development needs from a confirmed tech pack and yarn. The minimum does not change: 30 pieces per colour per style, sizes mixable inside the 30. Neither does the customisation: colour, yarn, gauge, labelling and packaging are all still open, because a ready sample is a starting point rather than a take-it-or-leave-it. What it removes is the slowest part of a first order, which is the round trip between a drawing and the first thing you can hold.

The 51 styles span USD 6.50 to USD 66.00 per piece by quantity. Gauge spread: 34 at 12GG fine, 14 in the 7GG band and 3 at 3GG-5GG, which is why the group reads as a spring-summer range with a winter tail rather than the other way round - 20 are Spring/Summer, 17 all-season and 14 Autumn/Winter. By wearer: 31 men's, 13 women's, 5 kids' and 2 unisex. Fibre: cotton on 28 styles and mercerised cotton specifically on 15, wool on 14, cashmere on 6, and single styles in mohair, lyocell and linen. Every one can be re-coloured, re-yarned or re-gauged; a change of gauge or fibre moves it back into a normal development timeline, while a change of colour or labelling does not. Sampling is about 7 days as-is, about 15-25 days from a confirmed tech pack and yarn if the style is modified; bulk is 30-45 days depending on quantity.

适合产品

Suitable where the calendar is the binding constraint rather than the design: a first drop that has to be on sale this season, a capsule added to an existing range, a replenishment colour, a trade-show sample that has to exist before the show, or a buyer who wants to hold the fabric before committing to a development. Also suitable as a reference garment - ordering one ready sample and marking it up is a faster, cheaper brief than writing a tech pack from nothing, and it removes most of the ambiguity that causes a second sample round. Product types in the group include short-sleeve knit tops and polos, crew and V-neck sweaters, full-zip and button cardigans, turtlenecks, knit vests, a knit jacket, scarves, a knit dress and a two-piece set.

推荐市场

Recommended for North America, the Nordics, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and the wider EU. The spring-summer weight of this particular group - 34 of 51 styles at 12GG fine, most of them mercerised cotton short-sleeve tops and polos - suits buyers working a spring delivery on a short lead time. Nordic and Canadian buyers more often pull from the heavier tail: the 3GG chunky scarf, the cable cardigan and the jacquard turtlenecks. All prices quoted are FOB indications by quantity, not landed cost; duty and freight depend on your Incoterm and route.

生产备注

Two honest limits. First, a ready sample is a sample of a style, not of your colourway - if you change the colour, the first piece you see in your colour is still a normal sampling round, though it starts from a proven programme rather than from a drawing. Second, these styles were developed to our own specification, so measurements are ours until you change them; if you have an existing size chart, send it with the enquiry and we will grade to it rather than asking you to work around ours. Minimum order is 30 pieces per colour per style throughout, and the constraint that bites is colour count rather than piece count, because every colour carries its own minimum and its own dye lot. A brand can buy a sample before committing to a production run: USD 60 for a ready sample of a published style in about 7 days, or USD 150 for a development sample from your tech pack in 15-25 days. Samples are made as a step towards a brand's production run of 30 pieces per colour; we do not make garments for personal use. The fee is not refundable but is credited against a first bulk order placed within six months - 100% of a development sample, 50% of a ready sample.
