Why Work With Us

We Own the Factory — You Order Direct

Most "Christmas sweater suppliers" are trading companies reselling someone else's machines. We are the factory. That means shorter lead times, real control over quality, and no middleman markup on top of your price.

  • Own knitwear factory in Dalang, Dongguan — not a trading company
  • 100+ computer flat-knit machines (Shima Seiki / Stoll)
  • 5-person in-house design team — artwork to knit-ready pattern
  • Skip the middleman: order factory-direct, pay factory-direct

What We Make

Every Kind of Custom Christmas Sweater

From premium jacquard to novelty ugly sweaters — we knit it all in our own factory.

Intarsia & Fair Isle

Large clean colour blocks (intarsia) and traditional repeated patterns (Fair Isle) for classic holiday knitwear.

Ugly Christmas Sweaters

Novelty and 'ugly' sweaters — LED light-up, 3D appliqué, pom-poms and bells, on request.

Private Label / ODM

Your brand's woven labels, hang tags, packaging and custom size charts — or we design the whole sweater for you.

Minimum Order

MOQ 100 pcs — Counted Per Design, Not Per Colour

The most common misunderstanding in custom knitwear is how the minimum is counted. A MOQ of 100 pieces is per design, not per colour or per size. That means a single design can be split across sizes and a few colourways — 5 sizes × 4 colours × 5 pieces each still counts as one design.

This matters because it lets you offer your retail customers real choice (multiple sizes and colours) without multiplying your minimum. Each new design carries its own 100-piece minimum — the pattern is re-programmed on the machine, which is where the setup cost sits.

Need fewer than 100 pieces? Ask about our lower-MOQ options on lighter programs. But for a true knitwear run, a per-design minimum keeps the unit cost realistic.

Sampling

72-Hour Sampling, Before You Commit to Bulk

Round 1 — the design sample

A physical knit sample in 72 hours so you can check the pattern, motif and structure before committing to bulk.

Round 2 — colour & gauge

Confirm Pantone-matched yarn colours and weight on a second sample, or fine-tune if needed.

Sample fee credited

The sample fee is deducted from your first bulk order — so sampling effectively costs nothing when you proceed.

Materials & Yarn

Pick the Yarn That Fits Your Brand

The yarn barely changes unit cost, so choose what feels right for your market.

Acrylic-Cotton Blend

Our soft, non-scratchy anti-pilling default — affordable, easy care.

Wool & Merino

Premium warmth and hand-feel for higher-price retail and gifting.

Cotton

Breathable and natural — a comfortable holiday knit.

Recycled / Sustainable

Recycled yarn and GRS-certified options on request.

Pantone-matched yarn colours, plus custom woven labels, hang tags, care labels and packaging.

72 hours or faster on a pre-production sample.

Transparent pricing

Clear MOQ, sampling fee, and unit-price structure, no hidden layers.

QC before shipping

Photo approval and AQL 2.5 inspection on every bulk order.

FAQ

Quick Answers for B2B Buyers

Are you a factory or a trading company?+

We own the factory. Our knitwear production runs on ~100 computer flat-knit machines on our own floor in Dalang, Dongguan — we are not a trading company and there is no middleman markup.

What's your minimum order quantity?+

100 pieces per design. MOQ is counted per design, not per color or size — so you can split sizes and colorways within one design.

How fast is sampling?+

72 hours for a physical knit sample. We also provide free digital proofs before any physical sample is cut.

Can you produce my own design?+

Yes — jacquard, intarsia, Fair Isle, fine gauge and embroidery are all supported. Send artwork, a sketch or just an idea, and our in-house design team turns it into a knit-ready pattern.

Do you ship worldwide (DDP)?+

Yes. We ship DDP to your door — freight and duties included, so you know your landed cost upfront.

How much does a custom Christmas sweater cost?+

Unit price depends on design complexity, yarn, quantity and finish — roughly $8–18 EXW for a typical jacquard sweater at 100–1000 pcs. Send your design and quantity for an exact quote.

Is MOQ counted per design or per colour?+

Per design. A 100-piece MOQ is one design, split freely across sizes and colourways — multiple colours or sizes don't multiply your minimum.

Do you have any certifications?+

Rather than paying certification fees, we put that money into equipment and workflow — and we welcome factory visits and third-party inspection (SGS/QIMA/BV). We use AQL 2.5 quality control on every order.

Can you use recycled or sustainable yarn?+

Yes — recycled yarn and GRS-certified options are available on request for eco-conscious brands.

Can you make LED light-up Christmas sweaters?+

Yes — we build LED light-up sweaters, plus any novelty or ugly-sweater design you can dream up.

Can I use my own labels, size chart and packaging?+

Yes — custom woven labels, hang tags, care labels, Pantone-matched colours and your own size chart, programmed into the machines.

What are your payment terms?+

30% deposit to lock your machine slot, 70% balance before shipping. We accept T/T, PayPal and L/C — and you get photos for approval before dispatch.

What's the sample fee?+

Sampling is 72 hours, and the sample fee is credited against your first bulk order — so it costs nothing when you proceed.

Can you design the sweater for me (ODM)?+

Yes. Our 5-person in-house design team turns your idea, sketch or brand brief into a knit-ready pattern — full ODM from concept to bulk.
