1. Make the first request easy to evaluate
For a team, small business or new sportswear brand, define the garment's purpose before discussing decoration. State who will wear it and what combination of products you are considering.
Keep the first brief manageable. List each design and color separately rather than presenting a large total without its combinations. This helps identify the actual garment, customization and quantity conditions that need review.
- Product category and a garment reference
- Intended wearer and use
- One clearly identified design for each combination
- Estimated quantity and size breakdown
- Authorized artwork and requested positions
- Receiving country and any required date
2. Ask how quantity requirements apply
Ask whether the applicable minimum is linked to the garment, design, color, decoration or complete order. A small overall quantity does not automatically establish which combinations can be produced.
KitReload discusses sample, small-batch and bulk inquiries individually. Minimum quantities, feasibility and quoted charges depend on the confirmed product and customization; do not assume a universal MOQ or a website-wide unit price.
| Requirement | What to clarify | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Garment combinations | Separate tops, shorts and sets | One total can hide different specifications |
| Colors and designs | Quantities for each combination | Conditions may apply per combination |
| Samples | Purpose, specification and arrangements | A sample is not automatically free or on a fixed schedule |
| Decoration | Artwork and requested positions | Suitability depends on garment and design |
3. Decide what you need to review before the batch
Explain what a sample or approval would need to establish: fit, fabric, colors, artwork placement or another specific requirement. Discuss the available approval arrangements and any costs or timing before ordering.
A digital design approval and a physical garment review answer different questions. Clarify which review is needed for your project and what the main order will be produced against. Do not assume a reference photograph confirms actual materials or final shades.
4. Prepare one reliable artwork and size list
Use clear artwork files that you are authorized to reproduce. Describe print positions and dimensions rather than relying on an image without instructions. If items need names or numbers, connect those details to the correct garment and size.
Request size information for each garment. Separate youth and adult requirements where relevant, and avoid copying size labels from an unrelated product. Save the final version that you approve for production.
5. Discuss branding and packaging without assumptions
Small brands and resellers can raise their own artwork and packing requirements during the inquiry. Explain the requested format and how garments should be grouped or presented.
Any product-specific decoration, label or packaging request needs feasibility review. Do not assume private-label manufacturing, certifications or a packaging service is included unless the actual quotation confirms it.
6. Compare the full quote, not only the garment line
Review the confirmed garment specification, quantity breakdown, decoration, approval process, production estimate and shipment arrangements. Ask which charges and destination responsibilities are included.
International transit and custom production are separate stages. Confirm payment instructions only after the requirements and quote are finalized. Read the custom-order cancellation, shipping and quality-issue policies before committing.
Common questions
Does KitReload publish one MOQ for all custom sportswear?
No. Minimum quantities are confirmed for the chosen product and customization. Send the quantity you are considering so the actual conditions can be reviewed.
Can a reseller request its own artwork and packaging?
Yes, these requirements can be discussed. Customers must have artwork rights; decoration and packaging feasibility, arrangements and additional charges require confirmation.
Can I order directly from a concept image?
Use the image as a starting reference, not as proof of stock or a complete specification. Confirm the garments, materials, colors, sizes, customization and quotation before ordering.
