Cardigan Customization Program for Surf and Swim Brands with Tie-Dye Wash
Cardigan Customization Program for Surf and Swim Brands
This programme covers the full path from a cardigan concept to repeatable bulk supply for surf and swim brands. The build starts from everyday-casual references — cardigan in cotton jersey — then locks fabric weight, wash behaviour and fit tolerance so every reorder matches the approved sample.
Most cardigan buyers arrive with one of these problems: colour faded after a few washes, or the fit drifted between sizes. The fix is a written spec before bulk: shrinkage allowance, stitch density, colour tolerance and a golden sample kept at the factory.

How we produce it
- Tech pack review, fabric confirmation and lab dip approval
- Pattern, grading and a Cotton Jersey-spec prototype
- Fit sample and wearer test, then pre-production sign-off
- Bulk cutting with tie-dye wash applied under controlled settings
- In-line inspection, final AQL 2.5 check and packing
Quality control
Every bulk lot is compared against the approved sample for shade, hand feel, measurements and wash behaviour. Cardigan reorders stay comparable over time because the spec, the lab dip and the golden sample are all on file.
FAQ
How long does sampling take?
A first prototype is typically ready in 7 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 3 days each.
How is shipping handled?
We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 200 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for BSCI, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
