OEM and ODM knitwear manufacturing.

WTBF supports OEM knitwear production from your specifications and ODM product development from an early reference. Confirm yarn, fit, samples and quantities before bulk production.

What is the difference between knitwear OEM and ODM?

For WTBF projects, OEM starts from the buyer’s agreed garment specification, while ODM includes developing the product direction together. Choose the route by identifying which yarn, construction, fit and branding decisions are fixed and which require development. Both routes need sample approval, an agreed quotation and a confirmed production specification.

OEM means manufacturing to a buyer’s specification. ODM means working with the manufacturer on product development before agreeing the specification for production.

Knitwear manufacturing questions

What is WTBF’s minimum order quantity?

Small orders of 50–100 pieces are accepted. Bulk orders from 1,000 to 1,000,000 pieces can be discussed. Confirm the quantity per style, colour and size, yarn availability and production schedule when requesting a quotation.

Which knitwear products can you manufacture?

WTBF accepts all types of sweaters and knitwear, including pullovers, cardigans, knit polos, base layers, vests, short-sleeve knitwear, dresses, skirts and matching sets. Women’s, men’s and children’s styles, plus-size and small-size options can be discussed.

Can you make private-label knitwear from my design?

Yes. Send your tech pack, reference images or an existing sample. Yarn, knit structure, measurements, decoration, labels and packing are reviewed together. The approved sample and agreed specification form the basis for production.

How long do sampling and production take?

Eligible projects can have samples in 3 days and dispatch in 7 days after requirements and materials are confirmed. These are conditional fast-track options, not standard lead times for every order. Complex styles and large orders need a confirmed production schedule.

Can buyers outside your country request a quotation?

Yes. WTBF welcomes inquiries worldwide. Include your delivery country, quantities, product specification and required arrival date. Freight, delivery terms and any destination-specific testing or documentation requirements are agreed for the order.

What do you need to quote a sweater order?

Send the product or reference, quantity by style and colour, size range, yarn or composition preference and delivery country. Include a target price, required date and label or packing requirements if available. You can send tech packs and reference files by email.
