Most knitwear factories ask for 500 pieces per style. We run first orders from 100 pieces per design, so a brand can test one style before committing to a season.
A low MOQ knitwear manufacturer produces sweaters, cardigans or knit tops in small runs, usually 50–300 pieces per design. JIERQI's minimum is 100 pieces per design, which covers stock yarns, custom yarns and custom labels.

100 pieces per design, in one colour. That applies to sweaters, cardigans and knit tops, including styles with custom yarns or custom labels.
Yes. Small runs carry a higher unit cost than 500+ pieces because machine set-up and yarn minimums are spread over fewer garments. We quote both so the trade-off is visible.
Sizes can be mixed freely within a design. Colours can be split, but each colour needs its own yarn booking, so three colours usually means three smaller lots inside one order.
Sampling takes 7–10 days on stock yarns. Production runs 30–45 days after approval for orders of 100–300 pieces.
Yes. Standard terms are 30% deposit with the balance before shipment. Payment and shipping terms are confirmed on the invoice before production starts.
