Fifty pieces per style is our white label maternity wear minimum order, with sizes from S to 3XL mixed however you like inside it. Every order starts with a quotation and a sample, and the lead time for your order is confirmed in the quotation rather than fixed in advance.
This post explains what the minimum covers for our white label maternity and nursing wear, what to check at sample stage, how the order moves from quotation to dispatch, and what affects timing.
What the minimum covers
The minimum is counted per style. Our four styles are maternity dress, feeding kurti, nursing top and maternity nightwear. Each needs at least 50 pieces.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Per style or per order? | Per style |
| Can I mix sizes? | Yes, any split from S to 3XL |
| Can I split a style across colours or prints? | Yes; the colour split per style is confirmed at quotation |
| Can I mix feeding openings within a style? | Ask us; one opening per style keeps things simple |
| Does a dress with and without an opening count as one style? | Usually two; we confirm at quotation |
So 50 feeding kurtis in two prints and six sizes meets the minimum. Thirty kurtis and twenty nursing tops does not, because each style is below 50.
Colour splits depend on fabric availability. Many buyers start with one feeding kurti and one nightwear set, which makes a first order of 100 pieces across two styles.
The sample stage
The sample is one piece in your chosen fabric, colour and feeding opening, ideally with your label attached. For maternity wear it matters more than for most garments, because the opening has to work in practice, not just look right.
What to check
- The opening. Can it be opened and closed easily with one hand? Is it fully hidden when closed? Does the zip or overlay sit flat?
- The fit. Is there enough room through the bust and front? Does a tie waist or wrap adjust smoothly? Does the front hem stay level over a bump?
- The fabric. Is it soft against the skin? How does it feel after one wash following the care label?
- The labels. Does the neck label or inside-neck print feel comfortable? Is the care wording correct?
- The pack. Does it look right when opened?
If possible, try the sample on someone who is pregnant and someone who is nursing. Changes agreed on the sample, such as a longer overlay or a different opening position, are carried into bulk production. If a change goes beyond our existing style, we confirm whether it needs a private label quote. Sample terms are confirmed in your quotation.
From enquiry to dispatch
Every order follows the same steps:
- Enquiry. Send styles, fabric, feeding opening, colours, sizes, quantity per style, branding and packing.
- Quotation. Quoted per style, by fabric, quantity and branding, with sample terms, lead time, shipping method, payment terms and documents.
- Sample. You review it and confirm, or ask for changes.
- Advance payment. This starts production.
- Production. Cutting, stitching, fitting the opening and finishing.
- Quality check. Each piece passes our quality check before it is tagged and packed under your brand.
- Balance payment and dispatch. The balance is paid before dispatch.
What affects timing
Lead time is confirmed in the quotation. These are the things that move it:
- Fabric. A colour or print that needs sourcing to your swatch can take longer than one already on hand.
- Feeding opening. Zips under panels and overlays add steps compared with a plain front.
- Branding. Custom woven labels, embroidery and printed packaging each need their own preparation.
- Sample rounds. A sample approved first time keeps things moving; each revision adds time.
- Quantity and number of styles. More styles and colours mean more set-up.
- Shipping method, which is confirmed in the quotation.
If you are planning around a launch date or a season, say so in your enquiry. The simplest way to protect a date is to approve the sample quickly and keep branding decisions settled early.
Planning a first order around the minimum
A few habits help make 50 pieces per style go further:
- Start with two styles that cover day and night, or pregnancy and nursing.
- Weight sizes towards M, L and XL, since maternity shoppers often stay in or near their usual size with room built into the cut.
- Keep one opening type across your feeding styles so the range feels consistent and the hang tag explanation stays simple.
- Limit colours to one or two per style for the first run.
- Keep the approved sample as the reference for every reorder.

Reorders
Reorders follow the same process, and the minimum is again 50 pieces per style. If the fabric, colour, opening and branding stay the same, a reorder usually needs no new sample. A new colour or opening may call for one. Keep a record of the style name, fabric, colour, opening type and label details for each order.
Before you enquire, gather the styles, fabric and opening for each, your size split, quantity per style, logo and branding, packing and the country of delivery. We take enquiries from buyers worldwide; shipping method, terms and documents are confirmed in the quotation.
