Read article →Frequently asked questions
- Are the product specs real? Can you customize standard 40s / 60s counts?
- Every yarn count, density, weight and composition is the mill's original, verifiable parameter — fully transparent. We support directed customization of 40s / 60s long-staple cotton, 13372 high density, 165g heavyweight and other mainstream specifications for each market.
- Is large-order capacity stable? Will production be subcontracted out?
- Capacity is highly stable. We hold fixed machine slots and monthly capacity at the mill. Full-container and annual reorders are reliably covered. All orders are produced, inspected and shipped in-house — never subcontracted, never mixed with low-grade commodity goods.
- How do I verify you are a first-hand factory source, not a middleman?
- We can open up real product photography, workshop production videos, mill qualifications and shipping ledgers to confirmed buyers. The full chain — sampling, weaving, production, QC and container loading — is traceable, with no re-trading link in between.
- What payment terms and delivery modes do you support?
- We are familiar with Middle-East T/T and Europe/US L/C risk-control practices, and support FOB, CIF and DDP delivery. Backed by stable mill capacity, we keep price, lead time, quality and after-sales consistent.
- How do you guarantee quality before bulk production?
- All custom orders are sampled directly at the mill workshop. Only after you confirm the style, color and craft do we put the order into bulk weaving — preventing off-spec goods and excessive color difference at the source. A three-stage QC (fabric spot-check, in-line patrol, full finished-goods inspection) follows.
