The white label kidswear minimum order is 100 pieces per style, and age sizes can be mixed within those 100. Every order follows the same path: enquiry, quotation, sample, advance payment, production, quality check and dispatch, with the lead time confirmed in your quotation.
Below is what happens at each step for kidswear and babywear, and what we need from you.
What counts as one style
The minimum applies per style. For kidswear, a style is one garment type in one fabric, such as a cotton jersey T-shirt and shorts set or a cotton woven frock.
| Can be mixed within one style | Usually a separate style |
|---|---|
| Age sizes across the style’s range | A different garment type |
| More than one colour (split confirmed at quotation) | The same garment in a different fabric |
| Solid and print, where the fabric options allow | A significant design change, such as adding a collar |
So 100 pieces of a jersey romper can cover several age sizes from 0 to 24 months and more than one colour. A jersey frock and a woven frock would be two styles.
An example first order
A new babywear and toddler brand might start with two styles:
- Romper in cotton jersey: 100 pieces across age sizes from 0 to 24 months, in two colours.
- T-shirt and shorts set in cotton jersey: 100 pieces across ages 1 to 6 years, in the same two colours, with a screen-printed logo.
Both styles share a fabric and palette, so the range looks consistent in photos and on a shelf. The exact size steps and colour split are confirmed at quotation.
Kidswear is in our knit band, which is why the minimum sits at 100 pieces per style. Our post on kidswear size charts by age shows one way to split those pieces across ages.
Enquiry, quotation and sample
What to send with your enquiry
- The styles you want, and fabric for each: cotton jersey or cotton woven.
- Colours, or print references.
- Quantities per age size for each style.
- Fastenings and trims: snaps, buttons, elastic, frills.
- Branding: printed inside-neck label, care label, hang tag, screen print or embroidery.
- Packing: bulk, individual bags, or gift-ready sets.
- The destination country.
The destination matters more for kidswear than for most products. Labelling and safety requirements for children’s clothing depend on the destination country and are confirmed at quotation.
The quotation
We quote per style, by fabric, quantity and branding. The quotation also sets out the sample terms, payment terms, lead time and shipping method. We take enquiries from buyers worldwide. Shipping method, terms and documents are confirmed in the quotation.
The sample
We make a sample in your chosen style, fabric and size so you can check the fit, feel, fastenings and finish. For kidswear, the sample is worth testing properly. Put it on a child of the right age if you can, wash it, and look at it again. Our kidswear sample checklist lists what to look for.
Any changes are agreed before bulk production. If you change something significant, such as the fabric or the neckline, we may suggest a second sample.
Payment, production and quality check
After you approve the sample, you pay the advance and we start production. The advance is paid to start production and the balance before dispatch; the exact terms are in your quotation.
During production we cut the fabric, sew each piece, add fastenings, apply your print or embroidery, and attach your labels. Sets are matched and packed together.
Our quality check before dispatch covers measurements against the approved sample, seams and neck finishing, fastenings, branding positions and the count per style, colour and size. Once the balance is paid, the order is packed to your specification and dispatched.
Timelines and planning
We do not publish a fixed lead time, because it depends on the styles, fabric, branding, quantity and time of year. Lead time is confirmed in the quotation. Kidswear sells around seasons and occasions, so plan backwards from the date you want stock on sale:
- Festive and occasion ranges: frocks and shirt sets for family events sell in a short window. Start the enquiry well before it.
- School holidays and summer: T-shirt sets and shorts.
- Cooler months: full-length nightwear and long-sleeved sets.
- Gifting periods: gift-ready sets need packing decided early.
Send final artwork and label text with the enquiry, decide colours before the sample, and reply to sample feedback promptly. These are the steps that most often slow an order down.
Reordering kidswear
Reorders are simpler. Send the style reference, the new quantity per age size and any colour changes. If the fabric, branding and labels stay the same, a new sample is usually not needed. Use your sales to adjust the age split: children grow, and your customers’ children grow with them, so a brand often finds its top-selling ages shift over time.
Next step
Choose your styles from our white label kids clothing page and send us the details above. We reply with a quotation per style and, once it is agreed, make your sample.
