Custom Underwear for the Asia-Pacific Islands Market in Cupro with Garment Dyeing for Surf and Water-Sports Brands

Custom Underwear for the Asia-Pacific Islands Market — Cupro with Garment Dyeing

We supply underwear to island-market buyers built for warm humid days and air-conditioned interiors. Cloth weight, openness of weave and colour fastness are specified for heat, humidity and salt air first: Cupro at 180-210 gsm, shade-matched to hold up under strong UV, chlorinated water and frequent laundering. Programmes start at 300 pieces per style per colour and ship to Manila or Cebu.

The failure modes in this region are consistent: long lead times that miss the selling season, and no reliable way to track a order once it enters production. We lock the specification before bulk — weight, shrinkage, stitch density and tolerance — and prepare the documents ICC requires, so containers clear instead of accruing demurrage at the port.

Import, duty and delivery

ICC / BPS import commodity clearance is arranged before the goods leave the factory. We ship LCL or FCL to Manila or Cebu, provide the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and quote landed cost so duty and GST are visible before you commit. Reorders draw on the approved specification held on file, which matters for resort programmes that reorder every season.

FAQ

How long does sampling take?

A first prototype is typically ready in 10 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 4 days each.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Standard programmes start at 300 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.

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.

Can you match a specific colour?

Yes. Send us a Pantone TCX reference or a physical swatch. We return lab dips for approval and hold bulk shade within the agreed tolerance band before cutting.
