What Questions Should You Ask an Activewear Manufacturer Before Ordering?

Before ordering activewear, ask the manufacturer about material specifications, minimum quantities, sample approvals, production scheduling, inspection criteria, and payment milestones.

Clarify whether the quotation includes labels, packaging, testing, and delivery, and ask how substitutions or defects are addressed. Confirm who owns patterns and artwork and whether production is subcontracted.

Put the answers into the purchase order or agreed specifications so both sides work from the same written requirements.
