The standard starting point
Standard production starts at 60 pieces per order, with at least 25 pieces per style, colour and size combination. Colour and size allocation are reviewed against that minimum, based on the style, yarn and production plan.
Each style still needs at least 25 pieces per colour and size. A combined total across unrelated styles does not remove that per-combination minimum.
Check the practical constraints
Yarn availability, construction, requested colours and custom trims can affect the route. Labels, zippers, patches and packaging may have their own supplier quantities.
Ask which quantities apply to the garment and which belong to an individual material or trim. Confirm available alternatives before changing a design.
Development options below 60 pieces
For quantities below 60 per order, the Startup Brand Program can help review design, yarn, trims and sampling options. The minimum for custom production is 60 pieces per order, with at least 25 pieces per style, colour and size.
State the target pieces per style, planned colours and sizes, and the materials you are considering.
Prepare the first quantity plan
Separate the style count from total pieces, then show the quantity by colour and size. For a set, list each garment component and state that the quantity is in sets.
Confirm any additional work or supplier minimums in the quotation scope before approving a sample or production plan.
Need help planning a smaller quantity?
Read the Startup Brand Program terms and share the style, quantity and colour plan for a feasibility review.
Discuss your project →A customer question: is the minimum per style or per colour?
A buyer asked specifically whether the minimum applies per style and per colour, while also asking about available ready-to-select garments. In a separate small-run enquiry, the initial proposal required the buyer to clarify the colour and size allocation before further quantity options could be assessed. List the quantity for each style, colour and size, then ask which garment, yarn or trim constraints apply. These enquiries and an earlier project-specific estimate do not establish a universal per-colour rule.
