Frequently asked questions

What MOQ should I expect from a Chinese sweater factory?

Of suppliers that publish an MOQ, 129 accept 50 units or fewer, 42 accept 51–200, 49 set 201–500, 26 set 501–1,000 and 8 require more than 1,000. Custom yarn colors typically carry their own dyeing minimums, so a low garment MOQ may apply only to stock yarns. Confirm the minimum for your yarn and colorway.

Which certifications are common among sweater suppliers in China?

The most common are amfori BSCI (116 suppliers), ISO 9001 (112), the Global Recycled Standard (59), Sedex SMETA (50), WRAP (41) and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (36). For wool programs, buyers typically also ask for the Responsible Wool Standard, and GRS applies to recycled yarns. Check each certificate's scope and validity.

How long does sweater production take?

Lead times typically depend on yarn availability, gauge and whether garments are fully fashioned or cut-and-sewn. Sampling typically takes two to four weeks, and bulk often runs 45–90 days. Suppliers on this list publish lead times from under a week to 120 days, so confirm the schedule for your specific yarn and quantity.

Method: entries are the top-scoring published profiles for this category and country in SupplySpark's database when the list was last updated; ranking cannot be bought. Facts come from each supplier's public profile and evidence on file; confirm MOQs, lead times and certifications directly with the factory before ordering.
