How to find Chinese clothing factories for cooperation? Here I would like to share my experience in detail. To find Chinese clothing factories to customize your designed clothes(wholesale), please visit bdseamless.com.
How To Find Chinese Clothing Factories?
- Match the factory according to your own clothing material. Because Chinese clothing factories are divided into many types, such as knitting factories, embroidery factories, denim factories, etc., Our family mainly produces first- and second-line boutique clothing such as silk fashion, leather jackets, and high-end customization. They have their own positioning and areas of expertise. Therefore, before looking for a factory, you need to accurately match and search according to your own clothing material (fabric).
- How to findChinese clothing factoriesonline and offline?
Let’s talk about the online first, from shallow to deep, let’s take it step by step.
Firstly, make good use of this formula (region + clothing + factory type) from search portals such as Baidu and Google. For example, Guangzhou T-shirt processing factory, Dongguan denim processing factory, making good use of this universal formula can already save you a lot of detours.
There will be a factory website, you can get a lot of factory information, and then use contact information, telephone communication. But be sure to pay attention to the setters of speculation. If there is a middleman, your costs will naturally rise.
Secondly, online shopping Chinese clothing factories. At the top of the 1688 homepage, there are functions such as finding sources, finding factories, and finding industrial products. We click on the function [Find a factory], and all types in it have been divided, such as women’s clothing factory, men’s clothing factory, high-end customization, etc., you can screen according to your conditions.
Looking at recommendations, rankings, factory scales, customer reviews, etc. can provide you with information about this factory, and choose the factory that meets your needs. I suggest that novices can find factories or small workshops that can accept small batches of custom processing in the early stage, and I will explain the reasons for them in the future. 
Next, let’s talk about offline ones. Finding factories offline requires going out more. Two methods are taught here, which can greatly reduce your time and trial and error costs, and improve efficiency!
The first is to use express delivery. Do you know any friends or relatives who do express delivery, or friends of friends? Those express delivery guys generally belong to the business staff of the site, and they basically have a few big orders on their hands, such as the boss or order salesman of Shenzhen Nanyou who sells high-end clothes.
For example, the boss or order salesman of Shenzhen Nanyou who sells high-end clothes.
The first-hand information of this courier is much better than yours. If he knows some responsible persons of some factories around the radiation, or the person in charge of warehousing, he will tell you what the factory does and how the quality is. Then you can run with the courier for a day and invite him to dinner. In most cases, you can get some good factory resources.
The second is to use Baidu map to search. The first step is to search for keywords, such as searching for garment factories. Generally, companies of larger scale will be established, so that you can immediately know how many garment factories there are around you. There will be a factory inside.
The second step is to go to places where Chinese clothing factories are concentrated. For example, Tangxi, Guangzhou and Panyu, Guangzhou (our family is also in Panyu) are places where factories are concentrated. Large garment factories are generally used to making foreign orders.
There are tens of thousands of orders for a model, such as European orders, Japanese orders, Taiwan orders and African orders. Generally speaking, Japanese and Taiwan orders have relatively high quality requirements, and the inspections are very strict. The European orders and the African orders are large-scale goods, similar to Guangzhou Shahe goods. Generally, what kind of order the factory receives actually represents the quality of the goods made by this factory.
How To Cooperate With Chinese Clothing Factories?
As the owner of a garment factory for ten years, I tell you, you must remember not to ask how much it costs to make a piece of clothing as soon as you come up. We directly determine that you are a novice beginner. The Chinese clothing factories are different from the wholesaler. The wholesaler knows his cost price, and the factory price is calculated according to the customer’s requirements.
The first is to include labor and materials. Fabric is the most important factor affecting price, followed by style and craftsmanship. You need to provide a picture sample to let the manufacturer know the style.
If the packaging material also needs to provide the fabric composition or sample, or explain the fabric grade to the manufacturer to find, explain the quantity and the quality and workmanship requirements whether it needs to be patterned. According to your requirements , the factory can estimate a price, but the final price needs to be printed and sampled to be determined.
The second is pure processing. How is the processing fee calculated? Because in the garment processing industry, each place will give a set of industry standards based on the local salary level and the size of the factory. How much does it cost to cut a piece of clothing? How much does it cost to get off the parking space (for the garment maker)? How much is the end of the thread and buttons to be sewn?
The general practice of the Chinese clothing factories is to use a timer to record the time spent in each process to calculate the labor cost. It is to calculate the price of cutting clothes, parking spaces, car zippers, buttoning, opening pockets, ironing clothes, packaging, etc. After the sample is completed, you can know the fabric materials of a piece of clothing, so as to calculate how much fabric is required and how much to advance cost is required. Then the money for the fabric is confirmed.
The processing fee for a piece of clothing is to multiply the sum of all the labor costs given to underground workers by the corresponding magnification. The magnification is determined according to the scale of the factory. The larger the scale, the higher the magnification. Normally it is between 2.0-2.5. And like a large factory that only makes high-quality goods, multiplying by 3 people may not do it, depending on the specific situation
For example, the price of a piece of clothing for the worker at the bottom is 10 yuan, the magnification is 2.5, the processing fee the customer asks the customer is 25 yuan, the extra 15 yuan is the factory rent, water and electricity, management expenses, taxes, etc., and the leftover money is the boss’s profit.
Regarding the price, let me say one more thing. Many people like to bargain. It is obviously a small order, but because of a few cents of things, they have to be polished with the Chinese clothing factory. The processing industry earns hard money, not much, you are desperately pressing the price. , Maybe there will be bad situations, the more common ones are delays in delivery and mid-way price increases. Therefore, unreasonably lowering prices may be counterproductive.
If the delivery date is timely, the quality is guaranteed, and the cooperation as much as possible, wouldn’t it be better? I have a customer here, because the quality made by my factory is so good that it far exceeds his expectations, he took the initiative to add a processing fee of 10 yuan per item. This is a real case. Everything is based on quality!
