Guangdong province — Guangzhou, Dongguan, Shenzhen — has the highest concentration of fabric mills, trim suppliers, and garment factories in China. You can source fabric, cut, sew, print, pack, and ship within a 100 km radius. That density cuts lead times and lets factories react fast to changes. ### How do Chinese activewear factories compare to Vietnam or Bangladesh? China has the widest fabric range (performance knits, recycled polyester, nylon-spandex), lowest MOQs (300 pcs vs 1,000+ in Vietnam), and strongest sportswear expertise (technical construction, compression, sublimation). Vietnam is catching up on basics. Bangladesh is strongest in woven and commodity knitwear at higher volumes. ### What is the typical MOQ for activewear from China? 300 pieces per style per color is our standard for custom manufacturing, and most private-label programs run 300–5,000 pcs/style. We can start smaller — a 100-pc logo-on-blank trial run — so you can validate quality before scaling. With 24 lines at 200K+ pcs/month, volume reorders and multi-style programs are routine. ### Can I visit the factory before placing an order? Yes. Our factory in Guangzhou is open for visits. We can arrange airport pickup and a full factory tour including fabric warehouse, cutting room, sewing lines, printing department, and QC area. Many customers visit during the Canton Fair in April or October. ### How do I verify a Chinese manufacturer is legitimate? Three steps: check the factory's third-party social-compliance audit — we hold a current SMETA (Sedex) audit run by Bureau Veritas — order samples before committing to bulk, and start with a small trial order (300–500 pcs). We share our SMETA report upfront and welcome factory visits. ### What shipping terms do you offer? FOB (you arrange freight from Guangzhou port), CIF (we arrange sea freight to your port), and DDP (we handle everything including customs clearance and duty at your door). Most first-time customers start with CIF or DDP to avoid dealing with Chinese logistics directly. ## Related - [Custom Sportswear Manufacturer | OEM, ODM & Full Package, MOQ 300+](https://yueyiactive.com/custom-sportswear) - [Private Label Fitness Clothing Manufacturer | Custom Activewear & Sportswear](https://yueyiactive.com/private-label-sportswear) - [OEM/ODM Activewear Manufacturer | 200K/Mo, Private Label](https://yueyiactive.com/for-brands) --- ## Contact Yueyi Active - **Phone / WeChat**: +86 186-6690-3622 (add this number on WeChat to chat directly) - **WhatsApp**: [+86 186-6690-3622](https://wa.me/8618666903622) - **Email**: [sunny@yxsportswear.com](mailto:sunny@yxsportswear.com) - **Request a Quote**: [Get a Free Quote](https://yueyiactive.com/quote-request/new) ## Factory & Showroom **Yueyi Active** — Sportswear & activewear manufacturer in Guangzhou, China.
