Where textiles are made in China
Guangzhou brings together fabric markets and garment workshops. Humen, in Dongguan, specialises in womenswear. In Fujian, Jinjiang and Putian account for a large share of sportswear and sports shoe production. And Keqiao, in Shaoxing, hosts one of the world's largest fabric markets. The right workshop depends on your product, your volume and your standards.
From tech pack to approved batch
- Tech pack: materials, fabric weight, size chart, logo placement, labels.
- Prototype, adjusted until approved.
- Pre-production sample, in real materials and conditions.
- Production, with in-line follow-up.
- AQL inspection before shipping, with photos and a report.
- Shipping, LCL or full container.
