Product Development & Sampling

Typical Sample Lead Time Overview Sample lead time depends on fabric readiness, design complexity, and revision rounds. At HUCAI, timelines are clearly defined before development begins. Standard Sampling Timeline:-Fabric-ready styles: 7–10 working days -New fabric development: 10–12 working days -Complex constructions: 12–15 working days Factors Affecting Sample Speed Custom dyeing, bonded seams, or special trims may extend timelines.Early fabric confirmation significantly reduces delays. How We Shorten Development Time Our standard fabric library and digital pattern system allow faster starts.This avoids waiting for raw material sourcing.

Standard Sampling Workflow at HUCAI China-based sportswear sampling follows a structured and efficiency-driven workflow. At HUCAI, each step is standardized to reduce risk and time loss. Fabric Confirmation & Lab Dips Sampling starts after fabric type, weight, and color are confirmed. Lab dips ensure color accuracy before cutting. Pattern Making & Cutting Digital patterns are created and stored in our pattern library. Automated cutting ensures precision and repeatability. Sewing & Finishing Samples are sewn by experienced technicians using bulk-level stitching standards. Finishing includes trimming, pressing, and logo application. Fit Review & Feedback Samples are reviewed for fit, comfort, and appearance. Feedback is collected before moving to revised samples.

From Brand Idea to Production-Ready Sportswear At HUCAI, custom sportswear development starts with understanding your brand positioning, target market, and product use scenarios. This ensures every design decision aligns with your brand identity. Step 1: Concept & Requirement Alignment We begin by reviewing your design references, target price range, fabric direction, and performance requirements. Clear goals at this stage prevent revisions later. Step 2: Fabric & Structure Selection Based on usage scenarios, we recommend suitable fabrics, stretch levels, and garment constructions. This step balances comfort, durability, and cost. Step 3: Pattern Development & Sampling Our in-house pattern team converts concepts into technical patterns and first samples. Fit, proportion, and functionality are evaluated before refinement. Step 4: Sample Optimization Samples are adjusted through fitting feedback, fabric tests, and stitching improvements. Only approved samples proceed to bulk preparation.

If you choose the logistics form of express delivery, in general, HUCAI suggests the following sourcing timeline:Spring and summer procurement (February - March): April - May is the spring and summer sportswear market sales season, so HUCAI suggests that in February - March you will have to advance the bulk procurement of spring and summer sports, and in the summer sales season before the peak season 2-3 months ahead of the start of the winter product purchases, to take full advantage of the summer sales window to expand sales.Fall and winter purchasing (June-September): October-November is the peak season of the fall and winter sportswear market, HUCAI suggests that you start to consider the fall sportswear series from June, especially the products in early fall.Before single purchase (November): to November, December - January is the peak season for spring and summer sportswear sales, but due to the Chinese New Year will have a longer holiday, there will inevitably be unable to meet the timely production and transportation, we recommend that customers do a good job in November in advance of the December - January purchase plan, to avoid missing the peak season because of the problem of insufficient inventory.The above nodes are for reference only, the specific purchasing plan should be adjusted according to your brand positioning, market demand and product life cycle, etc. HUCAI's sales team will provide you with professional advice at any time to ensure that your purchasing plan is synchronized with the market.

I am a sports brand, when is the best time for me to place an order?Answer: In order to ensure timely stocking and smooth delivery, as well as to help you better promote sales, HUCAI suggests that: if you choose express transportation, a month and a half before the peak season is the best time to place an order; if you choose sea freight, you should place an order 2.5 months in advance, which helps HUCAI to arrange for production in advance and avoid inventory shortages, and it also helps to let you adapt to the market in advance of the peak season and better match your sales rhythm.
