Ningbo Jinmao Import & Export Co., Ltd. was established in the year 2000, bringing over two decades of experience, stability, and excellence to the global apparel industry. Navigating challenges and market shifts, we have scaled our annual turnover to over thirty million U.S. dollars. Today, as a leading garment import and export company in Ningbo City, China, we operate with a deep commitment to environmental stewardship, holding the premium certifications of ISO9001:2015 (Quality Management) and ISO14001:2015 (Environmental Management System).
Our dedicated internal infrastructure consists of more than 50 highly experienced staff members who govern product management, international compliance, and multi-channel distribution. We cater to Men's, Women's, and Children's wear sectors, and host independent professional design and technical pattern development teams specializing in advanced knitting techniques and thin woven apparel styles.
The jersey knit T-shirt is no longer just a basic wardrobe staple. In the modern commercial environment, it represents a complex cross-section of high-performance textile engineering, comfort wear, and corporate sustainability. From retail giants and luxury lifestyle brands to enterprise workwear distributors, the global demand for jersey knit fabrics is growing. The rise of athleisure, smart-casual dress codes, and organic streetwear has pushed manufacturers to innovate beyond traditional cotton blends.
We leverage advanced single jersey, interlock, pique, and ribbed structures. These offer targeted breathability, stretch recovery, and texture properties optimized for different retail uses.
Based in China's textile hub, we optimize the complete supply chain—from raw fiber selection and high-speed circular knitting to ecological dyeing and smart logistics.
We supply fabrics certified by BCI, Oeko-Tex, and GRS. Our materials include organic cotton, recycled polyester, and Lenzing Modal, matching the sustainability goals of international markets.
We operate an independent, professional design and development team focused on bringing your product ideas to life. Whether you provide sketches, inspiration photos, or basic tech packs, we turn them into real garments. We recommend fabrics matching your cost target and product performance requirements, while constantly updating our library with trendy, functional, and eco-friendly accessories.
Our sample room employs master pattern makers with an average of 20 years of experience in knitwear and light woven structures. We quickly turn design concepts into physical samples. Having an in-house sample room drastically increases the efficiency of developing new prototypes and pre-production approval samples, saving valuable time before starting bulk manufacturing.
Our business team has an average industry tenure of over 10 years. Having served more than 100 brands and exported to over 30 countries, we understand the quality standards and regulatory compliance requirements of global retailers. Upon receiving your brand parameters, our team immediately structures recommendations for printing, embroidery, fabric selection, and certification requirements.
We work with more than 30 partner factories holding BSCI, Warp, Sedex, and Disney certifications. Our network includes large manufacturing plants with multiple production lines for bulk orders, alongside smaller workshops for small-batch programs. If you don’t meet the minimum order quantity for a specific fabric, we recommend similar alternatives from our stock fabric collections.
An inside look into our production facilities, warehouse facilities, and modern textile technologies.
Factory Capacity & Order Routing: We operate production bases in Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan, and Zhejiang. Backed by 30+ long-term partner factories, over 10,000 skilled workers, and 100+ automated lines, we produce over 10 million pieces of ready-to-wear clothing annually.
Quality Assurance Protocol: Our localized QC offices oversee production in each region. We monitor bulk manufacturing step-by-step and provide QC assessment reports in real-time. For fabric procurement, we work with reliable raw material suppliers and offer third-party testing reports (SGS, BV, Intertek) checking for composition, weight, color fastness, and tensile strength.
Timeline: Pre-production sample creation takes 20-30 days. Once the sample is approved, we complete bulk production within 30-60 days depending on fabric availability and complexity.
Creative Design Translation: If you supply rough sketches or tech ideas, our design team develops detailed pattern templates and 3D digital renderings. For physical reference images, we provide precise mock-ups. Simply share your requirements, and we will bring them to life.
Material Recommendations: Our merchandisers help you select fabrics that fit your budget, durability requirements, and style profile.
Pattern Development and Sampling: Our pattern makers and sample room staff average 20 years of experience. We provide custom paper patterns within 1-3 days and finish the sample within 7-14 days.
Select from our premium materials, each optimized for different handfeel, weight, and wear conditions.
We offer diverse printing, embroidery, fabric treatments, and garment wash effects to customize your knitwear collections.
We provide advanced printing methods including: Digital Print, Discharge Print, Flock Print, Water Print, Fluorescent Print, and Embossing. These ensure high wash-fastness, sharp resolution, and soft handfeel.
Our embroidery services include flat stitch, 3D puff embroidery, sequin work, towel embroidery, and mixed-media patches. These are executed on computerized multi-head machines for crisp logos and designs.
Our fabric processing services include anti-pilling, moisture-wicking, anti-bacterial treatments, silicon washing, and eco-friendly dyeing. These customize the fabric's performance and feel to match your requirements.
Our production facilities utilize modern waste-water management systems and organic-certified dyes. Our processing is Oeko-Tex and BCI certified, ensuring that all chemicals used are safe for both consumers and workers.
Whether you require a heavy silicon wash for an ultra-soft handfeel or moisture-wicking coatings for activewear, our technical division ensures consistent results across all production batches.
From initial design sketches to final port shipping, we manage every production phase to minimize defect rates and guarantee on-time delivery.
We create a fit sample using final measurements and fabrics. This allows clients to test dimensions, silhouette drape, and fabric texture before committing to production.
We submit color labdips, strike-offs for print and embroidery, brand labels, polybag samples, and custom cartons for confirmation. This ensures every detail matches brand requirements.
We sew a pre-production sample using final bulk fabrics, trims, and packaging. This acts as the quality benchmark for our production lines and quality control teams.
Once the PP sample is approved, we start bulk production. Our QA teams run in-line inspections, checking for construction errors, thread tension, seam strength, and dimensional tolerances. We generate real-time QC reports and welcome third-party audits before dispatch.
Before packing, we pull final samples from the production run for client review. Once approved, we coordinate customs declaration, container stuffing, and freight routing. We optimize transit times and port loading to deliver your order efficiently.
Modern consumers and regulations demand environmental accountability. As an ISO 14001:2015 certified garment exporter, Ningbo Jinmao leads in sustainable fashion manufacturing. We work with certified yarn spinning mills and environmental fabric suppliers to supply clean materials:
