- White-label or own brand
- Carton & packing control
- Repeatable QC per reorder
What goes wrong in wholesale sourcing
At volume, small quality errors become expensive claims. These are the issues that come up most:
- “The third reorder did not match the first — customers noticed.”
- “Cartons and assortments arrived wrong, so we had to repack in our warehouse.”
- “No one could give us a straight answer on lead time.”
- “Claims went nowhere because there was no inspection evidence.”
- “Our own brand label was sewn in wrong, or not at all.”
- “Shipping schedules slipped and we missed our season.”
How we solve each one
| What you told us | What we do about it |
|---|---|
| Reorder quality drift | Pattern card, fabric lot and print settings archived per style so reorder three matches order one. |
| Wrong cartons and assortments | Carton marks, size/colour assortments, polybag specs and packing lists confirmed in writing and photographed. |
| Vague lead times | A written production schedule at order confirmation, with progress photos at cutting, sewing and packing. |
| Claims without evidence | Pre-shipment AQL reports with photos saved against every order, so claims are settled on facts. |
| Branding handled wrong | Labels, hang tags, barcodes and carton marks controlled as one checklist before packing. |
| Missed seasons | Production slots planned around your shipping window, not ours. |

Pricing, MOQ and how to bring your cost down
Volume pricing rewards planning. These factors decide your landed cost:
| Cost factor | How it moves your price |
|---|---|
| Order volume | Unit cost drops sharply at 300 / 1,000 / 5,000 pieces per style. |
| Fabric and weight | The single biggest lever on cost per piece across a range. |
| Decoration complexity | Print colours, embroidery density and patch work add cost at scale. |
| Packing and labelling | Barcode labels, polybag types, inserts and carton specs are line-item priced. |
| Freight mode | Sea freight cuts cost per unit on large orders; air suits urgent restocks. |
