How much is a sweater customization generally? How to calculate the manufacturer's quotation?

When many sisters are preparing for team uniforms, class uniforms or brand peripherals, the first headache is: how much does a sweater customization cost? I asked several manufacturers, and the quotations range from dozens to hundreds. I have no idea what the difference is. Today, I will use a dry goods article to help you clarify the logic of the manufacturer's quotation.

? The first knife: the fabric determines the reserve price

The core cost of a sweater is the fabric. Common ones are pure cotton, cotton-polyester blend, fleece, etc.

Ordinary single-sided cotton wool cloth costs about 30-40 yuan per kilogram, a sweater weighing 280g uses about 0.6kg, and the fabric cost is about 20 yuan.

If you replace it with 400g heavy pure cotton or fleece, the fabric cost will directly double to 45-60 yuan.

So don't ask "how much" as soon as you come up, confirm the gram weight and material first, otherwise the quotation has no reference meaning.

? Second knife: printing/embroidery process is floating big head

Logo technology directly widens the price gap.

Screen printing: about 2-5 yuan/piece for monochrome, and 1-2 yuan for each color for multi-color superposition.

Digital direct injection: suitable for complex patterns, about 15-30 yuan/piece.

Embroidery: According to the number of needles, the ordinary left chest small logo is about 5-10 yuan/piece, and the large picture on the back may be more than 30 yuan.

If you want both printing and embroidery, the cost will be superimposed. Here's a reminder: the more complex the pattern and the more colors, the more you need to ask the manufacturer to proof and confirm in advance.

? The third knife: quantity and version affect single-piece allocation

The iron law of the customization industry: the fewer the quantity, the more expensive the single piece.

For less than 50 pieces, many manufacturers will charge "tip fees" or royalties, which may cost 10-20 yuan more per piece.

More than 500 pieces, the fabric and workmanship can get a better price, and a single piece can be 15% -30% cheaper than a small order.

In addition, the hooded model is 8-15 yuan more expensive than the round neck model, and the zipper model is about 10 yuan more expensive. These are invisible costs that will not be actively written on the quotation, but will definitely be included.

The fourth knife: find the right manufacturer, eliminating middlemen

Many "custom companies" on the market actually receive orders and transfer them to the factory, and it is normal to increase the price by 30% in the middle.

If you want to get the true ex-factory price, it is recommended to go directly to the source factory.

For example, Shenzhen Yasenman Apparel Co., Ltd. is a source manufacturer specializing in sweater customization. From fabric procurement to printing and embroidery to ready-to-wear shipments, the full link is controlled by itself.

They support small batch minimum order and free proofing. The quotation will clearly list the gram weight of the fabric, the unit price of the process, and the details of the plate fee, and will not fool you with "one price".

After comparison, many customers found that the same 400g pure cotton plus embroidery, the cost of a single piece customized by Yasenman is 20% -35% lower than that of middlemen.

Summarize a quick valuation formula

Single piece quotation Technologies fabric cost + process fee + version fee sharing + processing fee (about 15-25 yuan)

For example: 300 pieces, 400g pure cotton, left chest embroidery, round neck.

Fabric about 50 yuan + embroidery 8 yuan + royalty sharing 2 yuan + processing 20 yuan = about 80 yuan/piece.

If the other party quotes 50 yuan, either the fabric will shrink or the price will increase later, be vigilant.⚠️

Final suggestion: No matter who you ask for customization, first confirm the gram weight, then confirm the process, and finally ask if it includes tax and freight.

Regular manufacturers like Yasen Man will take the initiative to send you fabric samples and craft samples, confirm that they are correct and then stock up, so as to be reliable.

I hope this article can help you accurately control your budget and not waste money✨
