Macro Industry Solutions

Redefining Knitwear Production Through Circular Practices

Modern fashion brands require reliable manufacturing partners that prioritize environmental responsibility. Ningbo Jinmao operates a certified production system designed to support brand environmental goals. Our facilities use energy-efficient machinery to reduce water consumption and heat loss in the dyeing phase. Our fabrics are pre-certified with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and Global Recycled Standard (GRS), verifying the use of compliant chemicals and clean water treatment.

By using BCI cotton, organic cotton, Australian cotton, Lenzing Modal, and recycled polyester, we help brands construct circular apparel models. These efforts reduce fabric waste, optimize patterns via CAD modeling, and lower carbon footprints throughout the production lifecycle.

Garment Quality Control Laboratory
Quality Control & Testing

Independent Regional Inspection & Laboratory Testing

We maintain an in-house QC team with inspectors stationed at regional production hubs. They monitor bulk orders and issue real-time QC assessment reports at key production milestones.

For fabric sourcing, we partner with certified suppliers to provide professional third-party test reports (SGS, BV, Intertek) verifying composition, weight, color fastness, and dimensional stability. This structure ensures that materials perform reliably before cutting begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Detailed information on pricing, sample processes, minimum order quantities, and shipment procedures.

What are your prices?
Our pricing is calculated based on seasonal yarn costs, order volumes, styling details, and raw material types. Please contact our business team with your tech pack or reference design to receive a current, structured quotation sheet.
Do you have a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Yes. MOQ requirements vary depending on the style, construction, and fabric selected. Standard knits using pre-stocked dye lots have more flexible MOQs, while custom yarn-dyed patterns require larger minimum runs. We analyze requirements on a case-by-case basis.
Can you supply the relevant documentation?
Yes, we provide standard export documentation, including Certificates of Analysis/Conformance, Origin Certificates, Commercial Invoices, and Bill of Lading sheets, along with fabric certifications (Oeko-Tex, BCI, GRS) as requested.
What is the average lead time?
Sample production generally takes 7-14 days. For bulk production, simple styles average 3-4 weeks after pre-production sample (PPS) approval, while complex designs require 4-5 weeks. Final timelines depend on cargo schedules and the customer's inspection process.
What kinds of payment methods do you accept?
We accept advance T/T and L/C at sight. For clients with sufficient credit insurance coverage in China, we can also discuss post-shipment T/T payment terms.
What is the product warranty?
We warrant our materials and workmanship. In the event of a quality deviation, our policy is to evaluate the issue and work with the client to resolve it to their satisfaction, regardless of the warranty timeline.
Can I apply for samples before placing an order?
Yes. We construct samples using the same methods and standards as final bulk production. Sample fees are charged prior to development to cover materials and pattern engineering and are typically credited back upon bulk order placement.
Is the product list on your website all your products?
The products shown represent only a selection of our core categories and styling capabilities. We specialize in custom OEM/ODM production based on client specifications. If you do not see your required design, please contact our team to discuss customization.
