01Compare manufacturers using a complete quotation
A useful factory quotation identifies the garment specification, quantity tier, logo and trim add-ons, sampling, packing, freight and payment terms. Comparing only the lowest unit price can hide differences in fabric, lining, pockets, labels or delivery. SWAN's online builder separates the estimated product cost from international freight so buyers know what still requires confirmation.
02Turn a design idea into a repeatable specification
Send artwork, a reference sample, measurement chart or tech pack. The product brief should confirm inseam and outseam, waist construction, size range, fabric, lining, pockets, print scale, logo positions, labels and packing. The approved sample and final measurement chart become the working standard for bulk and repeat orders.
03Select manufacturing options for the target market
Peach skin supports soft resort styles, pongee suits lightweight volume programs, nylon gives a crisp technical surface, four-way stretch supports movement and seersucker adds texture. Mesh briefs, compression liners, unlined builds, elastic or fixed waists and multiple pocket constructions can be reviewed around the intended customer and price point.
04Plan quality control and international delivery before production
Approval points cover material, measurements, artwork scale, color, logo placement and trims. Bulk checks can include cutting, sewing, waist measurement, drawcord security, print consistency, finishing and packing. Express, air, sea and selected DDP options are quoted after packed weight, volume, destination and required delivery date are known.
