T-shirt manufacturing in Foshan usually moves through several decisions before a production line starts: product review, fabric confirmation, pattern development, sampling, approval, cutting, sewing, finishing, inspection, packing, and delivery.
Step 1: Review the reference and specifications
The factory first checks the style reference, tech pack, measurement chart, size range, fabric, trims, artwork, quantity, and destination. Missing information is clarified before sampling so the first sample answers the right questions.
Step 2: Confirm fabric, trims, and construction
Composition, weight, stretch, colour, rib, thread, labels, and packaging all affect the final T-shirt. Fabric and trim options should be documented so the sample and bulk order use the same approved specification.
Step 3: Develop and approve the sample
Pattern and fit work turns the brief into a physical garment. The team checks measurements, seams, neckline, sleeve balance, logo placement, and finishing. See our sample development service for the full process.
Step 4: Cut, sew, and finish
After approval, fabric panels are cut and move through sewing operations, finishing, and inspection. Factory sewing is easier to control when operators work from the approved sample and a clear measurement and construction record. Our garment factory sewing guide shows the production sequence.
Step 5: Inspect, pack, and ship
Quality checks can cover fabric, measurements, seams, artwork placement, inline production, final garments, and packing. Shipping timing depends on order size, material availability, decoration, and destination, so the final schedule should be confirmed with the quotation.
MOQ and lead time
MOQ is not a single number for every T-shirt. It changes with style, colour, fabric, decoration, and whether a custom material must be developed. HaoboMFG often starts discussions around 50 pieces per style, then confirms the workable quantity and timing from the actual brief.
