Fabric and construction are the first cost drivers
The same hoodie, dress or activewear set can change cost when fabric composition, GSM, stretch, lining, trims or construction complexity changes.
GSM is useful, but it does not define quality by itself. Handfeel, opacity, shrinkage, recovery, color and supplier availability matter.
Quantity changes setup economics
Small orders spread sourcing, setup, sampling, print preparation, labels, QC and packing across fewer units. Larger orders may improve unit economics but also require more inventory commitment.
Canton Fashion reviews MOQ and price by project instead of publishing a universal price table.
Shipping and packing belong in the same discussion
Carton marks, polybags, hangtags, delivery country and timing affect export coordination. The buyer should send these details before asking for the final quote.
A good quote request includes product, material, quantity, size range, label and packaging needs, timeline and delivery market.
