FAQ

What is the MOQ and how do I request a quote?

Typical MOQ is about 1,000 pieces per style. Email rill@topfortunemail.com or WhatsApp +86 13524210501 with garments, quantities, colors, sizes, branding, laundry profile, and market.

Which fabrics work best?

TC or poly-cotton, polyester blends, cotton-rich fabrics, stretch wovens, and twill or canvas aprons can suit cafe programs. Approve swatches and PPS rather than assuming performance.

Can you customize apron length, pockets, and ties?

Yes. Specify bib or waist style, length, tie or buckle, pockets, pen slot, towel loop, fabric, color, and logo. Prototype and PPS confirm utility.

What cafe branding methods are available?

Embroidery, woven labels, heat transfer, and suitable print are common. The best method depends on fabric, logo, placement, washing, and abrasion.

Are samples and a PPS available?

Yes. We provide a proto or fit sample as needed, then the buyer approves a pre-production sample for fit, fabric, shade, construction, branding, labels, and packing before bulk.

How do you handle sizing for several outlets?

Provide a wearer survey or target-market size curve, specify unisex or separate fits, approve grading and a size set, and retain signed measurements for reorders.

Do you make school uniforms?

No. We focus on B2B cafe, hospitality, corporate, and workwear OEM/ODM for adult professional teams, not school uniforms or children’s clothing.

Do you export outside China?

Yes. We export OEM/ODM workwear programs to Europe, the Middle East, Oceania, Southeast Asia, and the Americas. Share destination markets for correct packing and documentation.
