CN Sweaters
OEM/ODM Knitwear Process
From RFQ to Shipment
A clear, milestone-based process to keep sampling fast, bulk consistent, and delivery predictable—so you can launch on time and reorder with confidence.
Which Route Are You Starting From?
This process applies to both cooperation routes; only the starting point differs.
You have a tech pack
Execution to your specification, with approvals against your measurement chart.
OEM knitwear manufacturing →You have a concept
Factory-supported development from an existing style or a reference you like.
ODM sweater development →You need the terms first
Minimums, sampling and bulk timing, peak-season planning.
MOQ and lead time →No Guesswork: What You Provide vs What We Deliver
A clear breakdown of our collaborative inputs and outputs to ensure efficiency.

10-Step Execution Process
Every step defined by your input and our precise delivery.
How We Lock "PP = Bulk"
Eliminate inconsistency fears. Sample making takes 3–7 days. Once approved, the PP sample locks the standard for:
- Measurement points + tolerances
- Yarn/fiber + stitch structure
- Color confirmation
- Trims (labels, buttons, zippers, etc.)
- Packing requirements (bag, carton, labeling)
QC Control Points
We focus on stable quality and clean appearance—especially what impacts sell-through and returns.
- Measurements & size consistency
- Appearance (clean finish, neat details)
- Loose ends / repairs
- Color/shade consistency (across sizes)
- Hand-feel & workmanship
- Trims installed & Packing accuracy
Clear Lead Time & MOQ Rules
No guessing. Predictable timelines to help you plan your season launches.
*Higher quantity usually lowers unit cost.
- <500 pcs: ~15–35 days
- 500–1000 pcs: ~25–45 days
- >1000 pcs: by agreement
Bigger orders are assigned more machines in parallel; small batches have limited machine allocation. Order before September to avoid peak season (Aug-Jan) delays.
