Quick answers

More on samples, payment and certifications in our FAQ.

  • MOQ for T-shirts is flexible: it depends on the style, fabric and decoration, and trial orders are welcome when they are realistic for the product. Share your quantities per style, colour and size and we will suggest the most practical route.

  • Most T-shirts are made in single jersey (about 120–220 gsm). Slub jersey (130–200 gsm) gives a textured fashion look, interlock (180–260 gsm) a smoother, heavier premium tee, and rib (180–300 gsm) suits fitted tops and bodysuits.

  • Yes. GOTS-certified organic cotton T-shirts are made through certified factories in our network, and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 tested fabrics are available for skin-contact styles. Certificates and documents are available on request.

  • Sample development usually takes 7–21 days once the brief is clear, and bulk production usually takes 45–90 days, depending on order complexity and material availability.
