Custom Tank Top for the Asia-Pacific Islands Market in Recycled Polyester (rPET) with Heat Transfer Printing for Surf and Water-Sports Brands

Custom Tank Top for the Asia-Pacific Islands Market — Recycled Polyester (rPET) with Heat Transfer Printing

We supply tank top to island-market buyers built for typhoon season with salt-laden air. Cloth weight, openness of weave and colour fastness are specified for heat, humidity and salt air first: Recycled Polyester (rPET) at 140-170 gsm, shade-matched to hold up under strong UV, chlorinated water and frequent laundering. Programmes start at 150 pieces per style per colour and ship to Yokohama or Kaohsiung.

The failure modes in this region are consistent: unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing, and packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable. We lock the specification before bulk — weight, shrinkage, stitch density and tolerance — and prepare the documents JIS requires, so containers clear instead of accruing demurrage at the port.

Import, duty and delivery

JIS and Japanese household goods labelling is arranged before the goods leave the factory. We ship LCL or FCL to Yokohama or Kaohsiung, 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

Do you provide compliance documents?

We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for JIS and Japanese household goods labelling, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Standard programmes start at 150 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 long does sampling take?

A first prototype is typically ready in 12 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 5 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.
