Each nightwear style starts at 50 pieces, and you can spread those across sizes S to 3XL and more than one colour. That is the whole of our white label pyjamas minimum order; what takes more thought is the sample, the colour split and the timing around gifting seasons.
This post explains what the minimum covers for our white label pyjama sets and nightwear, how swatches and samples work, the steps from enquiry to dispatch, and the things that affect lead time.
What the minimum covers
The minimum is counted per style. Our four styles are the shirt-and-trouser set, shorts set, nightdress and robe.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Per style or per order? | Per style |
| Can I mix sizes? | Yes, any split from S to 3XL |
| Can I order more than one colour in a style? | Yes; the colour split is confirmed at quotation |
| Can one style come in two fabrics? | Ask us; it depends on the fabrics and quantities |
| Is a matching set and robe one style? | No, they are two styles, each with its own minimum |
So 50 shirt-and-trouser sets in two colours and six sizes meet the minimum. A set and a matching robe in the same satin make a first order of 100, with 50 of each.
The colour split depends on the fabric and quantity. If one style is split across many colours, each colour carries few pieces. Send your intended split with your enquiry and we will tell you what works.
Swatches and samples
Swatches
If you are unsure between cotton poplin, rayon and satin, or between colours, ask us for fabric swatches before you confirm. A swatch shows colour, weight and handle. It is the quickest way to rule a fabric in or out.
The sample
The sample is one piece of your chosen style in your chosen fabric and colour, ideally with your labels. It lets you check fit, feel and finish. For nightwear, check it the way it will be used:
- Wear it lying down: does the neck label rub? Does the shirt pull across the back?
- Check the trouser or shorts waistband: comfortable when relaxed, with enough stretch?
- Look at details: collar, cuffs, piping and pocket embroidery.
- Wash it once following the care label, especially satin and rayon.
- Open the packing as a shopper would: polybag, pouch or box.
Any changes from the sample are agreed before bulk production. Sample terms are confirmed in your quotation.
From enquiry to dispatch
Every order follows the same steps:
- Enquiry. Styles, fabric, colours, sizes, quantity per style, branding and packing.
- Quotation. Per style, by fabric, quantity and branding, with sample terms, lead time, shipping method, payment terms and documents.
- Sample. You approve it or ask for changes.
- Advance payment. This starts production.
- Production. Cutting, stitching, finishing and pressing.
- Quality check. Our quality check covers stitching and finish, then labelling, tagging and packing under your brand.
- Balance payment and dispatch. The balance is paid before dispatch.
What affects lead time
Lead time is confirmed in the quotation. These are the things that move it:
- Fabric and colour. A colour sourced to your swatch can take longer than one on hand.
- Fabric type. Satin needs more careful handling in cutting and stitching than cotton poplin.
- Details. Piping, contrast collars and pockets add steps.
- Branding. Custom labels, embroidery and printed pouches or boxes each need preparation.
- Sample rounds. A sample approved first time keeps things moving.
- Number of styles and colours.
- Shipping method.
Sleepwear often sells around gifting seasons and holidays. If you are aiming for one, say so in your enquiry, approve the sample promptly and settle your packing early. Gift boxes and pouches are often the last item to be finalised, and leaving them late is a common cause of delay.
Planning a first order
- Start with one or two styles. A set plus a robe in one fabric is a natural pair.
- Keep to two or three colours so each size has depth.
- Weight sizes to M and L, adjusted for your audience.
- Match packing to the channel: polybags for online, pouches or boxes for gifts.
- Keep the approved sample as the reference for reorders.
Our post on what changes the price per piece of pyjama sets explains how fabric, details and packing affect the quotation.
Reorders
Reorders follow the same steps, with the same minimum of 50 pieces per style. If the fabric, colour and branding stay the same, a reorder usually needs no new sample. A new colour or fabric may call for one. Keep a record of the style, fabric, colour, labels and packing for each order so the range stays consistent.
Before you enquire, gather the styles, fabric and colours, your size split, quantity per style, logo and branding, packing and the delivery country. We take enquiries from buyers worldwide; shipping method, terms and documents are confirmed in the quotation.
