Linen Apparel Export Manufacturing for Global Trade Company

1. Client Background

Client Type: Global Trade Company

Business Model: Sourcing + export service for multiple overseas buyers

Order Characteristics: Multi-style, multi-color, mixed-size ratio

The client supports a network of international buyers and needed a linen apparel manufacturer that could consistently deliver export-quality garments, manage style diversity, and reduce operational risk across repeated shipping cycles.

Their key challenges were quality consistency between orders, clear documentation for export, and on-time shipment readiness—especially for multi-style collections shipped to different destinations.

2. Project Objective

• Produce export-ready linen apparel for multiple overseas customers
• Standardize quality control and measurement tolerance across styles
• Support low MOQ (60 pcs/style) for flexible buying programs
• Coordinate labeling, packing, and carton standards for shipping
• Build a repeatable workflow for ongoing seasonal orders

3. Product Overview

Product Types: Linen shirts, dresses, relaxed pants/shorts, lightweight sets

Target Channels: Wholesale buyers + regional retailers + e-commerce sellers

Season: Spring / Summer (with repeat restocks)

Key Focus: Stable sizing, consistent fabric hand feel, export-ready packing

4. Custom Requirements

The export program required both OEM customization and shipment-ready execution:

• Linen fabric selection with controlled finishing (pre-wash / optional garment wash)
• Multi-style production planning (mixed sizes and colors per PO)
• Private label support: woven labels, size labels, care labels (multi-language if needed)
• Barcode/UPC sticker placement support on request
• Carton marks, packing list alignment, and shipment documentation coordination
• Measurement tolerance standardization across different styles
• MOQ: 60 pcs per style
• Style Range: 6 styles for the first export program

5. Linenwind Export Manufacturing Solution

Linenwind implemented a “production + export readiness” workflow: confirm materials and shrink control targets first, then finalize sampling approvals before bulk production. This reduced risk when running multiple styles and ensured consistency between sample and bulk.

During production, inline checks focused on stitching, measurement tolerances, and label placement. For export readiness, we standardized folding methods, polybag specs, size-sticker positions, and carton packing ratios to match the trade company’s shipping requirements.

Final inspection verified appearance, measurements, and packing accuracy, ensuring each SKU was shipment-ready and easy to receive at destination warehouses.
