Why is my delivered order quantity slightly different from my initial PO?

When producing custom apparel at scale, the final shipped quantity may vary slightly from the original purchase order—typically within an industry-standard tolerance of ±3% to ±5%.

Here is how our production process works and why this occurs:

  • Layered Cutting & Marker Ratios:Fabrics are laid in multi-layer spreads and cut simultaneously using computerized CAD marker patterns. Because markers are engineered in set size ratios (e.g., S:M:L:XL), cutting full rolls of fabric produces quantities based on that fixed yield rather than single-unit increments.
  • Strict Quality Control (Zero-Defect Standard):Every garment undergoes multi-stage inspections during sewing, printing/embroidery, washing, and iron-packing. Any piece showing needle holes, color discrepancies, print misalignment, or fabric flaws is rejected immediately. We never send compromised goods simply to hit a target number.
  • Fair Invoicing:You only pay for Grade-A, fully approved units that pass final inspection. If the final count is slightly lower, your final balance is credited or reduced accordingly.
