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 factorHow it moves your price
Fabric certificationCertified fabric options cost more than standard stock fabric.
Fabric weight and finishHeavier weights and special finishes raise both cost and perceived value.
DecorationEmbroidery and speciality print add labour; screen print is economical at volume.
Documentation scopeLab testing and additional records are quoted as optional line items.
Quantity and freightVolume 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.
