Our sports bra minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per style, with sizes XS to 2XL mixed within it; for bra-and-legging sets and shorts sets, how the two pieces count towards the minimum is confirmed at quotation. Every order runs through a sample you approve, an advance payment to start production and a balance before dispatch, with lead time confirmed in the quotation.
That is the short version. The detail below covers what counts as a style, how sets and pads affect an order, how the sample stage runs, and how to plan around your own dates.
What counts as a style
A style is one garment type in one fabric. Our styles are sports bra, bra-and-legging set and shorts set, each in nylon-elastane or polyester-elastane.
Within one style you can:
- mix sizes from XS to 2XL freely;
- order more than one colour, with the colour split confirmed at quotation based on the fabric options and your quantities;
- size set tops and bottoms separately, because many customers wear a different size on each.
A second fabric, or a second style, is a separate style with its own minimum. Options such as removable pads, on styles built for them, are part of the style you choose, so decide them before sampling.
Examples
| Plan | Meets the minimum? |
|---|---|
| 100 sports bras, nylon-elastane, three colours, XS to 2XL | Yes, one style |
| 60 sports bras and 40 shorts sets | No, each style needs its own minimum |
| 100 sports bras and a bra-and-legging set, same fabric | Bras yes; the set’s count confirmed at quotation |
| 100 sports bras, 50 in each fabric | No, each fabric is a separate style |
If your plan falls short in more than one style, concentrating on one style with more colours is usually the stronger first order. You learn more from one product in a full size run.
How the sample stage works
We make the style you choose, in your fabric and colour, with your branding where possible. For a set, the sample includes both pieces so you can see them together.
Check:
- Fit on people of the right sizes, through bending, stretching and reaching overhead.
- The underband: it should stay in place without rolling or digging in.
- Straps and back shape: comfortable, sitting where they should.
- Pads, if chosen: flat inside the bra, and easy to remove for washing.
- Coverage on the bra, and on leggings in a deep squat.
- Colour match between top and bottom, in daylight.
- Logo, inside print or label, care label and hang tag.
- Everything again after one wash.
Send us your comments or approval. Once approved, the sample becomes the reference for the full order and for our quality check of seams, elastic and finish. Changes are simplest now. Our page on minimum order and samples explains sampling across our range.
The order, step by step
- Enquiry. Styles, fabric, colours, quantities, pads, branding, set packing.
- Quotation. Priced per style, by fabric, quantity and branding. Lead time, shipping method, terms and documents confirmed.
- Sample. Made, checked and approved.
- Advance payment. Starts production.
- Production. Cutting, sewing, elastic, branding and finishing.
- Quality check. Against the approved sample, before packing.
- Balance payment. Before dispatch.
- Dispatch. Packed as specified, including sets in one bag if chosen.
What decides lead time
Lead time is confirmed in the quotation. It depends on:
- availability of your chosen fabric and colours;
- the number of styles and colours;
- pads and other style options;
- the number of logo positions across top and bottom;
- set packing, especially pairing sizes into one bag;
- how quickly artwork and sample feedback come back.
The last point is the one you control. Final logo, care wording, hang tag design and a clear list of set pairings at enquiry keep everything moving. So does one person giving complete sample feedback in a single message.
Planning around your dates
If you are launching for a season, a studio opening or a sales campaign, give us the date at enquiry. The quotation will say whether it is realistic. Count back from it: sample, approval, production, quality check, shipping, then your own time to receive, photograph and list.
Reorders follow the same path, usually more quickly because the sample is already approved. Quote the same style, fabric, colour and pad option, keep the same branding files, and tell us clearly what has changed. Our guide to what changes the sports bra price per piece explains how quantity and colours affect cost, which helps when sizing a reorder.
Send us the styles, fabric, colours, rough quantities, pad preference, logo and positions, labels, set packing and your target date. See the full range on our white label sports bras and gym sets page. We take enquiries from buyers worldwide. Shipping method, terms and documents are confirmed in the quotation.
