What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom activewear?
Our MOQ for custom activewear typically starts at 100–300 pieces per style per color. The exact minimum depends on the fabric type, design complexity, and trim customization. We also offer lower MOQ options for test runs and small-batch launches. Standard in-stock fabrics generally have lower MOQs. Custom-knit or branded performance fabrics may require higher minimums due to mill yarn-dye or finishing minimums. Simple styles with fewer operations (e.g., basic leggings, tanks) can be produced at lower MOQs. Complex designs with multiple panels, boning, or molded cups require higher volumes to be cost-efficient. Custom labels, hangtags, zippers, and branded trims have their own minimums. These are typically lower than garment MOQs and can be ordered separately for small-batch runs. Each colorway and size variant adds to the total order volume. Consolidating colors and sizes helps you reach MOQ thresholds more efficiently. For startups: We recommend starting with 1–2 core styles in 2–3 colors at lower MOQs to validate the market, then scaling up with subsequent reorders. Our team can help plan a phased production strategy. Ready to discuss your production volumes? Contact us with your style details and we will provide a tailored MOQ quote.MOQ by Key Factors
