In this issue, I would like to share with you my experience in finding factories over the years. It’s super informative. As a novice, you can follow the following methods to operate immediately. Get up.
The first one is to find an acquaintance, find a factory where you have worked or interned before, or talk to Among your classmates, friends, former colleagues, etc., see if there is a factory with a good reputation that you know or have worked with, and ask them to recommend it. If someone is introduced by an acquaintance, negotiation and cooperation will be smoother.
Second, find fabric suppliers, printing factories, embroidery factories, and accessories suppliers that you know. There are also many garment factories that they know and have worked with, and you can ask them for referrals. If your original cooperative relationship is relatively good, they will be happy to help.
Third, join Maimai. Maimai is a professional industry communication platform where you can expand your network and get to know each other. After meeting many peers and big names in the industry, you can join the peer exchange WeChat group. If you need anything, just say it in the group and many peers will respond.
The fourth one is to visit the industrial belt in person, jeans: Xintang, Guangzhou, Junan, Shunde, sweaters: Dalang, Dongguan, Zhuhai, needle and woven fabrics: Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Shenzhen, fur: Haining, men’s underwear: Zhongshan Xiaolan, women’s underwear: Nanhai, Foshan, down jackets: Zhejiang area. Before going, it is recommended to search and contact some target factories on the Internet before going there.
Collect the clothing factories of the required categories through the above channels. , first call to get a preliminary understanding of what types of products each factory is best at doing? For example, a knitting garment factory makes sweatshirts, T-shirts and the like with relatively simple craftsmanship. If it combines its own product style, can it also make styles with more complex craftsmanship? Woven garment factories make shirts, skirts, trousers and other categories. Woven fabrics are also divided into thick materials and thin materials. Can chiffon and silk fabrics among thin materials be made well? Once you have a preliminary understanding, make good records, and then go to the factory for on-site inspection and communication to see if they match? If both parties are willing to cooperate, they can discuss the terms of cooperation. After everything is OK, the actual cooperation begins, including making plans, negotiating prices, signing contracts, paying deposits, production, delivery, and paying the balance.
Factories of a certain scale will require a certain minimum order quantity. If your order quantity is very small, they may I won’t cooperate with you, but don’t worry too much. If you search more, see more, and communicate more, you will definitely find the right one.
