Buyer Questions

Frequently Asked Questions for Activewear Manufacturing

How do you guarantee leggings and shorts are 100% squat-proof and opaque?

We knit our performance tights on 28-gauge to 32-gauge high-density interlock machines using 75% Nylon / 25% Spandex at 240+ GSM. We conduct rigorous mechanical stretch opacity audits under backlighting to guarantee zero see-through during squats or bends.

What stitch construction do you use to eliminate chafing during workouts?

We use Japanese Yamato 4-needle 6-thread flatlock machines that abut the raw fabric edges and interloop them completely flat. This leaves zero raised inner ridges, preventing friction burns during long runs and intense gym sessions.

Will reflective heat transfers and silicone logos peel off after washing?

No. We apply industrial pneumatic heat-presses calibrated with precise temperature, dwell time, and pressure parameters. Our transfers undergo 50+ wash and tumble-dry testing cycles at 40°C without peeling, fading, or micro-cracking.

Can you manufacture with GRS-certified recycled polyester and nylon?

Yes. We source certified Global Recycled Standard (GRS) post-consumer recycled polyester and nylon yarns. We can provide full transaction certificates (TC) for your brand’s sustainability audits.

What is your sample lead time and minimum order quantity?

Fit and stretch prototypes take 7–10 business days, followed by 3–5 days for express DHL/FedEx courier delivery. Bulk production MOQ starts at 200 pcs per style/colorway across mixed sizes.

Can you produce matching sets (sports bra + leggings, or jacket + track pants)?

Yes. We knit and dye performance tops and bottoms in the identical dye lot bath, ensuring 100% shade match, identical stretch modulus, and consistent handfeel across the complete coordinated activewear set.
