Before Sampling
Details to Confirm Before Sampling
The four decisions that decide quality, cost and lead time — confirm them at quote stage, not after.
Safety Compliance
Target market decides the rules: CPSIA for the US, EN 71/14682 for the EU. Drawcord rules, small parts, flammability and lead/phthalate limits all follow from the destination market — confirm this first.
Fabric Certification
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is the baseline for children's textiles; GOTS for organic claims. We provide certificates with every fabric lot, not just marketing statements.
Size Range & Grading
Kids' grading is not linear — 2Y to 14Y covers toddler, kids and youth proportions. Confirm your size set and we apply age-appropriate grading rules with growth allowance.
Trim & Attachment
Snaps, buttons, appliques and prints must pass pull tests (70N for under-36-month garments). Trims are specified and tested to the age group, not adult standards.
Customization
Decoration and Finishing Options
Water-Based Print
Soft-hand, non-toxic prints safe for baby skin. No PVC or phthalates.
Embroidery
Backed with soft interlining so stitching never scratches skin.
Applique
Fabric and felt appliques with secured edges, pull-tested to age standards.
Puff Print
Raised prints for kids' graphics using certified-safe inks.
Yarn-Dye & Stripe
Woven-in stripes and yarn-dyed programs — no surface chemicals at all.
Custom Labels
Printed tagless labels standard; woven labels with soft-fold edges.
Quality Control
Production Quality Checkpoints
AQL 2.5 inspection on every shipment. See our full QC process →
Safety Testing
Pull tests on snaps, buttons and appliques (70N/10s for infantwear), sharp-edge and small-parts checks, needle detection on 100% of garments.
Chemical Compliance
Fabric lots verified against OEKO-TEX certificates; third-party CPSIA/REACH testing arranged through SGS or ITS when required by your market.
Wash Durability
Shrinkage, colorfastness and seam integrity tested after 5 wash cycles — kidswear is washed more than any other category.
Measurements
Size-set measurement check against age-graded spec sheets. Neck openings verified for safe head passage on baby styles.
Common Questions
Kidswear: Quote Questions
Are your fabrics safe for babies and children?
Yes. Kidswear fabrics are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified as baseline, with GOTS organic options. Third-party CPSIA or REACH test reports are arranged when your market requires documentation.
What is the MOQ for children's clothing?
MOQ is 100 pieces per style, and a size run (e.g., 2Y–8Y) counts within one style MOQ. This keeps per-piece cost reasonable across multi-size programs.
Can you follow US or EU safety regulations?
Yes — we build to CPSIA for the US and EN standards for the EU, including drawcord rules, small-parts pull testing and flammability requirements. Compliance requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
How much does custom kidswear cost?
Baby bodysuits run $3.50–5.50 FOB, kids' tees $3.50–6.00, fleece sets $7.00–9.00. Certified-safe trims and testing are included in our quotes — no surprise compliance costs later.
