Logo, label, hangtag, packaging and carton mark needs
Delivery country, target launch date and shipping preference
Target price if you have one, clearly marked as a target
Cost drivers
What changes price, MOQ and sample timing
Canton Fashion quotes by project. The same garment category can change cost significantly when fabric, GSM, color count, size ratio, process or packing changes.
| Driver | Why it matters | What to send |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric and GSM | Material availability, handfeel, opacity, shrinkage, stretch and weight affect sample and bulk cost. | Composition, GSM target or reference sample |
| Quantity and color split | MOQ is reviewed per style and color; more colors can raise total minimums and setup work. | Quantity by style, color and size |
| Print, embroidery and trims | Decoration setup, artwork files and trims can change sampling and QC needs. | Logo files, position, size and process target |
| Private label packaging | Care labels, hangtags, bags, stickers and carton marks need files and packing rules. | Artwork, material preference and packing method |
| Delivery market and timeline | Destination and launch timing affect export coordination and shipping options. | Country, deadline and preferred shipping mode |
