What German buyers ask us for first
DACH buyers rarely start with price. They start with documentation, consistency and whether you can prove what you claim.
- “Can you show us material and testing documentation?”
- “We need proof that the fabric is not a health risk to the wearer.”
- “The measurement chart has to be exact — our customers return anything that drifts.”
- “We want to know who makes our product and under what conditions.”
- “Communication has to be precise, not ‘roughly two weeks’.”
- “A cheap price is useless if the second production run differs.”

Pricing, MOQ and how to bring your cost down
Price matters after the requirements are met. The levers:
| Cost factor | How it moves your price |
|---|---|
| Fabric certification | Certified fabric options cost more than standard stock fabric. |
| Fabric weight and finish | Heavier weights and special finishes raise both cost and perceived value. |
| Decoration | Embroidery and speciality print add labour; screen print is economical at volume. |
| Documentation scope | Lab testing and additional records are quoted as optional line items. |
| Quantity and freight | Volume lowers unit cost; sea freight lowers landed cost on large runs. |
Typical unit cost
US$4 – US$32 per piece, depending on fabric, quantity and decoration. Exact pricing comes with your free quote.
