Are you looking for the best sportswear manufacturer in China? Want some helpful advice on how to find a manufacturer? Well, it's not that hard, as long as you know what you are looking for and what your needs and requirements are. However, to help you choose a suitable sportswear manufacturer, you can refer to the following suggestions.

Production capacity

You must pay attention to this issue, not for your current orders, but your future activities. If you are a new business, your first orders may be small. But what if your business turns around and you need to increase the number and frequency of your orders? You must make sure that your current manufacturer is available to assist your operation in the future; otherwise, you may find yourself starting from scratch again to find a new manufacturer. Discuss your future requirements with your factory's manufacturer and choose wisely the company that will grow with your brand.

Catalogs

See what kind of catalog the manufacturer has and if the items in it are what you are looking for. Always remember that the larger the catalog,  the more variety there will be for you to choose from. From shorts to t-shirts to tank tops to sports bras to workout pants and more, their catalog should show everything to satisfy you and your workout-addicted clients.

Customization

Make sure you work with a manufacturer that not only offers customization options for your clothing but also allows you the ease and flexibility to design your own. The manufacturer should be able to understand all of your bulk creative needs and promise to turn your imagination into a beautiful reality. In addition, a good manufacturer will ensure that you are provided with samples containing all of your creative input before proceeding to wholesale production.

Samples

It is a good idea for the manufacturer to provide samples of the items ordered. They may charge you for this, but it's a good investment if you don't want to end up with a whole batch of incorrect items.

Minimum order and shipping costs

When finalizing a manufacturer, first you must understand the selling power of your brand and need to make sure your business is a good fit for their manufacturing services and ask about their order minimums. Many sportswear manufacturers do not cater to small start-ups and young brands that need more support and often in smaller quantities. However the lower the number of orders, the better the buying experience.
