You need to know some key points to deal with garment manufacturers overseas. I will advise physically visit the factory, discuss with them in the face-to-face meeting.

This will eliminate being cheated. This is possible only if you have contact with any factory. But what if you don’t’ have any? Read this article to know how to find it. Let me give you some tips to consider how to deal with them. 

Send your inquiry to the factory with all required specifications. Ask them to quote. Know their MOQ and payment terms and conditions. You may not have everything disciplined professionally, seek their help to organize things if you are doing it for the first time.

Before quoting they may want to know details about the requirement of products like, what material they should use, any print/embroidery/custom color fabric required or not, what accessories you may need, what would be instructions for packaging. Study other brands how they are organizing the product spec, prepare one for you, send it to the factory. 

 

Buy a sample first

Don’t place the order on the first day of your work. Check out their quality. Ask them to make a sample with the custom requirements. After seeing the output, if you are happy, then, proceed on to confirming the order. Factory may charge for the sample. Pay that specific small amount for that. Maximum factories refund the sample charge once you place the order. 

 

Develop a good relationship

the relationship is the base of business and base of trust. Try to talk to the factory very often, rather than texting or email. Share your business goals and how the factory may help you reach there. Factory may share the ideas what other customers of them are doing.
