Our high-visibility pages now point to the same practical trust signals: a direct factory route, a defined sample step, buyer-appointed inspection and quotation terms confirmed against the brief.
Own factory route

Sample before bulk
For standard swimwear, sampling is typically around RMB 100; some requests may qualify for free sampling after review. Fabric availability affects timing.
Buyer-appointed inspection
Buyers can specify inspection, labels, packaging and carton requirements. Final checks can be arranged through the buyer's appointed process.
Clear commercial terms
Listed prices are planning references from the stated MOQ. Final FOB follows confirmed fabric, quantity, packing, destination and specifications.
