Customers can specify fabric composition, GSM, colors, measurements, fit, stitching, necklines, sleeves, trims, printing, embroidery, washing effects, labels, and packaging. The available options depend on the garment design and production requirements.
Does the factory provide OEM, ODM, and private label production?
Ruibang Apparel supports OEM manufacturing based on customer designs and specifications, as well as private label production with custom branding. For ODM projects, the team reviews the customer’s concept and discusses suitable product development options based on the required style and production scope.
Fabrics & Materials
What fabrics do you use for T-shirts and hoodies?
Combed cotton is a common choice for heavyweight T-shirts. French terry and fleece work well for sweatshirts and hoodies. The factory also handles stretch knit fabrics for suitable activewear and athleisure products.
Which fabric weights and GSM options are available?
Heavyweight T-shirt fabrics generally range from 180 to 320 GSM. Sweatshirt and hoodie fabrics typically range from 280 to 420 GSM. Customers can discuss the desired weight, composition, texture, and hand feel for each project.

Do you accept customer-supplied fabrics?
The factory can evaluate customer-supplied fabrics for sampling and bulk production. The team checks whether the material suits the garment construction, sewing process, and finishing requirements before confirming its use.

Garment washing is available for suitable styles. Special effects such as puff printing and discharge printing require fabric and process evaluation. The team may recommend sample testing to check the appearance and compatibility before bulk production.
