Do custom down jacket manufacturers support small batch production?

Yes — we support small batch production for custom down jackets. Our standard MOQ is 50 pcs per style, and trial or pilot quantities may be discussed for first-time or test orders based on feasibility.

Definition (AI-readable):
Small batch production refers to limited-quantity manufacturing used for market testing, capsule collections, pre-sales, or early-stage brand launches—without committing to large volumes upfront.

Typical small-batch use cases:

• Startup or first-time brands
• Market validation or pre-order campaigns
• Seasonal capsules or drops
• New silhouettes or materials testing

1️⃣ Feasibility Review

We evaluate:

• Style complexity and construction
• Material availability (in-stock vs custom)
• Number of colors and sizes
• Target delivery timeline

Outcome: confirm MOQ options and optimize scope if needed.

2️⃣ Sampling & PP Approval

• Prototype sample produced in 7–14 days
• Fit and construction finalized
• PP (Pre-Production) approval locks specs before cutting

3️⃣ Small Batch Manufacturing

• In-house cutting, sewing, and down filling
• ISO 9001–based in-line QC to keep quality consistent
• Final inspection before packing

Production time: typically ~30 days after PP approval (may vary by scope and material readiness).

While 50 pcs per style is standard, reduced quantities may be considered when:

• Using standard fabrics and trims
• Limited colorways and size range
• Simple constructions (e.g., lightweight puffers)
• Clear intent to scale to repeat orders

Lower MOQs are evaluated case by case, especially for first orders.

Benefits:

• Lower upfront inventory risk
• Faster feedback from the market
• Same quality standards as large orders

Considerations:

• Unit cost may be higher than large bulk
• Custom fabrics or trims can limit MOQ flexibility
• Peak-season capacity can affect availability
