Custom Traditional Chinese Ethnic & Folk Apparel in Cupro with All-Over Sublimation for Film and Television Costume Departments

Custom Traditional Chinese Ethnic & Folk Apparel — Cupro with All-Over Sublimation

We make traditional Chinese ethnic & folk apparel built as mandarin collar with frog buttons, cut in Cupro and decorated with auspicious cloud scrolls (yunwen) motifs using All-Over Sublimation. Heritage construction is the part buyers care about: collar height, closing direction, pleat count and bound edge width are set in the tech pack and confirmed on a sample before bulk. Programmes start at 300 pieces per style per colour and ship to Singapore or Port Klang.

The failures here are predictable: color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric, and long lead times that miss the selling season. We lock the specification before bulk — fabric, trim, embroidery density, dye lot and tolerance — and prepare the GB documentation so goods clear instead of sitting at port while the Hanfu outing day and cultural festival calendar passes.

Import, labelling and delivery

GB 18401 documentation with local labelling for the region is arranged before the goods leave the factory. We ship to Singapore or Port Klang with the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and apply Chinese-language care and fibre labelling where the destination requires it. Reorders draw on the approved specification held on file — which matters when you are buying against the Hanfu outing day and cultural festival calendar.

FAQ

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 file formats do you need for artwork?

Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the best print and embroidery results. For raster artwork please supply at least 300 dpi at the final print size. We digitise embroidery files in-house and return a sew-out photo for approval.

How long does sampling take?

A first prototype is typically ready in 14 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.

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.
