Start with the standard per-style quantity
The standard minimum is 60 pieces per order, and each style, colour and size combination needs at least 25 pieces. A style means the agreed garment design and specification being considered for production.
Colour allocation is reviewed separately. Do not assume that a fixed minimum applies to every colour without reviewing the actual yarn, dye and production plan.
Describe the size and colour mix
List the planned quantities by colour and size so the production team can review whether the allocation fits the chosen garment and materials.
If several designs are being discussed, show each style separately. A total across unrelated styles does not automatically satisfy the minimum for each one.
Check trims and packaging as separate requirements
Labels, custom buttons, zippers, patches and packaging may have their own supplier constraints. Ask which items have separate minimums and which alternatives are available.
Confirm whether any unused trim quantities or additional preparation work are included in the quotation.
If your target is below 60 pieces
For quantities below 60 pieces per order, the Startup Brand Program can help review design, yarn, trims and sampling options.
This is not an automatic minimum or a guaranteed order. Explain the product, pieces per style, colour and size allocation so the project can be reviewed.
Share the quantity plan before requesting a quote.
Use the Startup Program to request an eligibility review when a style is below the standard 60-piece minimum.
Discuss your project →A customer enquiry: the colour-size breakdown matters
In a proposed small cardigan run, a customer requested several sizes and colours. The preliminary response explained that the proposed distribution needed to be revised before production options could be assessed. The constraints were specific to that proposal: show each colour-size combination and ask the production partner which minimums apply, rather than assuming the same split will work for every yarn and style.
