T-shirt and jersey production
Custom T-shirt manufacturer in China for controlled fit, jersey, and decoration.
Meiting Garments is a China-based custom T-shirt manufacturer for brands that need jersey sourcing, fit development, screen print, embroidery, labels, packaging, QC, and bulk production in one process. T-shirt production looks simple until fabric handfeel, shrinkage, neck rib, sleeve balance, print method, and packed presentation have to be consistent.
Use this page when comparing a heavyweight T-shirt manufacturer, custom graphic T-shirt manufacturer, screen print T-shirt manufacturer, or private label T-shirt manufacturer. The T-shirt product sample page shows visual references while this service page explains MOQ, jersey GSM, sampling, QC, and RFQ details.
Flexible MOQ Guide
Flexible MOQ starts at 150 pcs per style/color. Fabric, color, decoration, trim, packaging, and delivery requirements are confirmed before production. Print and label supplier minimums may vary by artwork, color count, and packaging.
Ideal For
Materials
Combed cotton jersey, compact yarn jersey, cotton-spandex, slub jersey, rib collars, neck tape, screen print, DTG, embroidery, woven labels, and branded packaging.
Category Scope
For a heavyweight T-shirt route, confirm the intended handfeel, body drape, collar recovery, shrinkage expectation, and print or wash compatibility before choosing a jersey direction. A product image cannot confirm these variables; compare a swatch and approved fit sample before using a bulk quote to compare factories.
Garment dye, pigment treatment, snow wash, and other vintage effects can change color, handfeel, and approval risk. Define the visual reference, color tolerance, wash expectation, and which details must remain consistent before bulk cutting. Use an approved wash sample rather than treating a screen image as the final standard.
Decoration choice should follow artwork detail, placement, desired handfeel, color count, garment fabric, and expected wear route. Send the artwork with the garment brief, then use a strike-off or sample to confirm scale, placement, and finish before approving bulk production.
Lead Time
T-shirt sampling can be efficient when fabric is available. Custom dyeing, special yarn, or multi-color artwork can extend development and production timing. Typical sample planning window: 10–25 calendar days after the product scope, materials, and approval inputs are confirmed. Complex fabrics, washes, trims, or decoration may extend the cycle. Standard bulk production: approximately 20–30 days after sample and material approval. Complex washes, custom fabrics, special trims, extensive decoration, or custom packaging: approximately 45–60 days. Final timing is confirmed after reviewing the tech pack, quantity, materials, and finishing requirements.
Buyer Decision Table
Jersey, fit, neckline, wash, artwork, and labels interact. Confirming each variable makes factory comparisons and bulk approval more useful.
| Decision | Why it changes the route | Buyer approval input |
|---|---|---|
| Fit, sleeve, and neckline | Body width and length, shoulder drop, sleeve shape, collar height, rib ratio, and grading define the pattern and fit review. | Reference or measurements, target silhouette, size range, neckline direction, and measurement-point comments. |
| Jersey, rib, and handfeel | Construction, composition, GSM, drape, recovery, shrinkage, color, and availability affect sample behavior, supplier minimums, and cost. | Approved swatch or fabric direction with handfeel, color, composition, GSM, and shrinkage priorities. |
| Wash or garment finish | Garment dye and wash effects can change shade, measurements, handfeel, seams, labels, and decoration compatibility. | Visual reference, process route, tolerance priorities, and approval of the washed garment sample. |
| Artwork, labels, packing, and QC | Print or embroidery method, scale, placement, label package, size ratios, and packing rules define strike-offs and final inspection checks. | Production artwork, placement dimensions, approved strike-off or sample, label files, SKU matrix, and packing standard. |
Production Flow
Each step is designed to reduce production risk before bulk starts: missing specs, fabric readiness, fit approval, quality checkpoints, and export handoff.
Confirm jersey weight, fit block, collar shape, stitch type, artwork, and label plan.
Source jersey, rib, labels, hangtags, packaging, and print or embroidery method.
Develop fit sample and print strike-off before approving pre-production sample.
Produce bulk with shade, measurement, print, label, and packing checks.
Quality Control
QC checks fabric weight, shrinkage, neck rib recovery, body length, sleeve balance, print placement, color fastness, label accuracy, and size packing.
Public Case and Factory Evidence
This public case shows how heavyweight jersey direction, fit, graphic scale and placement, and sample comments were converted into approval points.
The case documents one sample route. It does not promise the same jersey, print result, quantity, timing, or commercial outcome for another program.

The footage verifies visible operations only and does not establish fabric compatibility, print durability, tolerances, or order acceptance.

Before requesting a T-shirt quotation, confirm jersey GSM, fit, color count, print or embroidery method, MOQ, sample expectations, QC checks, relevant examples, and the details needed for costing.
When buyers compare suppliers, review jersey weight, fit block, collar construction, print or embroidery techniques, MOQ, sample process, QC controls, case studies, factory video evidence, quote clarity, and the details needed for costing.
Yes. We can create custom patterns, source jersey and rib, build size specs, sample artwork placement, and produce cut-and-sew T-shirts rather than only decorating stock blanks.
It depends on artwork, handfeel, quantity, color count, and fabric. We can compare screen print, DTG, embroidery, and specialty effects during sampling.
Flexible MOQ starts at 150 pcs per style/color. Fabric, color, decoration, trim, packaging, and delivery requirements are confirmed before production. Custom dyeing, fabric knitting, print setup, label packages, color count, and packaging can change the workable minimum.
We support compact cotton jersey, combed cotton jersey, heavyweight jersey, cotton-spandex, slub jersey, rib collars, neck tape, washed cotton, and selected recycled or preferred material routes when the MOQ and documentation fit the project.
T-shirt sampling is usually 10–25 calendar days after jersey, rib, fit, artwork, labels, and color details are confirmed. Custom-dyed fabric, specialty yarn, garment wash, or multi-placement artwork may add development time.
QC checks fabric weight, shrinkage, neck rib recovery, shoulder and sleeve balance, body length, print placement, color fastness, label accuracy, packed size ratio, folding method, and carton marks before shipment.
