We Manufacture What Ordinary Factories Struggle To Make
Bente is a specialized custom apparel manufacturer in Dalang, Dongguan. Our own floor runs ~100 computerised flat-knit machines (Shima Seiki, Stoll), gauges 3G to 18G — jacquard up to 13 colours per chart, intarsia, fair isle, cable, 3D relief and high-density embroidery on knit. These are the crafts that ordinary factories decline. Knitwear MOQ is 100 pieces per design, samples come in 72 hours and bulk runs 2–3 weeks. Non-apparel items run through partner factories we name as partners, not as ours.
The capabilities ordinary factories struggle with
Multi-Colour Jacquard to 13 Colours
Up to 13 colours in a single knitting chart. Most mills cap at 4–6 and quietly simplify your artwork — we chart and knit the full design.
See 13-colour jacquard →Textured & Relief Knitting
Bitter-gourd relief, 3D structures, cable, Aran — charted and knitted on our own floor, not subcontracted to a third party.
See textured knitting →High-Density Embroidery on Stretch Knit
Embroidery on elastic knit fabric that does not pucker, sink the stitches or distort the ground underneath — the problem that defeats standard embroiderers.
See embroidery on knit →Flexible Low-Volume Production
A small, complex order gets the same knitting chart, the same physical sample and the same AQL 2.5 QC as a bulk run. MOQ 100 pcs per design for knitwear.
See flexible production →Rhinestone & Crystal Application
Heat-pressed, sewn-on and hand-set crystal decoration — the fixation method matched to the fabric so the stones survive the wash instead of shedding.
