Founded in the year of 2000, Ningbo Jinmao Import & Export Co., Ltd. has established itself as an industry-leading garment import and export enterprise. With an annual turnover exceeding thirty million U.S. dollars after 20 years of navigating international market changes, we integrate advanced manufacturing technologies with sustainable textile resources.
As a leading garment import and export company in Ningbo, we are deeply conscious of environmental dynamics. We maintain rigorous compliance through the quality and environmental management system certifications of ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015. Our team of over 50 professionals coordinates men’s, ladies’, and kids’ apparel divisions with specialized in-house design and technical teams focused on complex knitting and thin woven patterns.
Our professional design and development team translates sketches, ideas, and photos into technical mockups. We recommend high-performance materials matching your brand’s requirements and consistently source functional, sustainable accessories and trending apparel fabrics.
Operated by pattern-makers and sample-makers with an average of 20 years of industry experience. Specializing in high-density knitwear and lightweight woven structures, our sample room speeds up sales prototyping and ensures high accuracy before mass production.
With an average tenure of over 10 years, our customer relations team manages requirements across 30+ countries. We handle direct requests for advanced textile embossing, complex printing, custom embroideries, and strict regulatory compliance.
Unlike traditional screen printing or embroidery, 3D fabric embossing uses high-pressure, CNC-engraved brass or steel molds combined with precisely calibrated heat to physically alter the structure of the textile fibers. This creates a permanent, raised design that is highly resistant to washing. For optimal results, we select fabrics with a high synthetic content, such as Scuba Knit or Polar Fleece, which thermoset during the embossing process. When working with natural fibers like French Terry or organic cotton, we apply a specialized backing or interlining to reinforce the embossed shape and maintain detail throughout the life of the garment.
To produce clean, crisp embossed edges without scorching the fabric, our technical teams control three key parameters:
By using silicone-filled matrix embossing, we can also inject liquid silicone between the fabric layers during the hot-press process. This technique fills the raised areas, ensuring the embossed effect retains its shape even when the garment is stretched.
Global buyers require clear, verifiable documentation for sustainable practices. Ningbo Jinmao works with strategic yarn suppliers to offer materials certified under Oeko-Tex Standard 100, the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), and organic cotton certifications. These materials ensure that custom embossed hoodies meet strict chemical safety regulations (such as REACH and Prop 65) while delivering a premium feel.
Fast-changing consumer trends require brands to work with manufacturers capable of quick turnarounds. Our network of 30+ audited partner factories (including BSCI, WARP, Sedex, and Disney facilities) features both large-scale production lines and highly flexible smaller workshops. This balanced setup allows us to run agile prototype drops while maintaining the capacity needed for large-scale production orders.
Once order details are confirmed, we create a fit sample—a physical prototype built to the customer’s precise sizing specifications. We select matching fabrics, determine correct knit tensions, and adjust patterns to ensure accurate draping.
Providing this initial sample ensures that our clients can evaluate the overall fit, handfeel, and pattern accuracy before we move to bulk production.
We perform rigorous lab dip testing to match Pantone references under standard lighting conditions (D65, TL84). Our quality control team reviews all decorative print components, custom zipper configurations, custom drawcords, and inner branding elements.
This thorough review ensures that all design details are aligned with our client's brand guidelines before starting the manufacturing run.
Before full-scale production begins, we construct a final pre-production (PP) sample using the actual bulk-dyed fabrics, trims, and final manufacturing methods. The PP sample acts as the master quality standard for the entire production run.
Our factory floor teams begin bulk cutting and assembly only after receiving written approval of the PP sample from the client.
With approvals complete, we transition to bulk manufacturing. In-house Quality Control officers are stationed directly on the production line, checking stitch tension, seam durability, and embroidery precision in real time.
We work with trusted third-party testing labs like SGS and BV to verify fabric weights, color fastness to rubbing, and tensile strength, ensuring full compliance with international standards.
Every finished garment goes through metal detection, visual inspection, and final measurement checks before being packed into individual polybags. We prepare custom shipping documentation, export clearances, and certificates of origin to facilitate smooth customs processing.
We handle all aspects of global logistics, arranging sea, air, or express freight based on our clients' schedules and budget requirements.
Our options include high-definition digital direct-to-garment (DTG), rotary water-based prints, flock printing, discharge printing, and high-visibility fluorescent prints.
We offer high-density 3D puff embroidery, sequin work, towel embroidery, and multi-thread flat stitches, all processed on high-speed Tajima machines.
From vintage acid washes, snowflake washes, and silicon washes to anti-pilling, brushing, and water-repellent treatments, we customize finishes to your specifications.
We provide full-service manufacturing based on client-provided tech packs, CAD designs, and material specifications. We handle sourcing, dyeing, cutting, sewing, embossing, quality control, and export packaging.
Production Lead Time: PP sample approval in 7-14 days; bulk production completed in 30-60 days.
Our design team creates original, retail-ready styles based on concepts, reference images, or trend analysis. We develop custom patterns and match sustainable fabrics to fit your brand identity and target budget.
Pattern Development: CAD pattern drafting in 1-3 days; finished prototype delivery within 14 days.
