A real walkthrough of our knit floor, QC line and finishing — see who you are working with before the first sample.
Our jacquard and intarsia knitwear capability helps buyers developing graphic sweaters, Nordic patterns, logo-free seasonal artwork and color-blocked knitwear. The work focuses on practical B2B development decisions rather than retail-style visuals, connecting product direction, material choices, sample review, production feasibility and export-ready quality control. Buyers can use this page to understand what information should be prepared, which technical decisions affect cost and lead time, and how Licheng Knitwear turns an initial sourcing request into a sample-ready or production-ready plan.

Read Guide ->How to develop men's half-zip and quarter-zip sweaters, from zip and collar choices to yarn and gauge, for sporty-smart B2B knitwear ranges.
Read Guide ->Every first knitwear order has two routes, and factories rarely publish the second one. From a tech pack a sample takes about 15-25 days; from a style that already exists, about 7. The minimum, the bulk lead time, the labelling and the QC route are identical either way. What changes is where the first physical garment comes from - and what you give up by not starting from a blank sheet.

We knit and refine samples until approved.
Choosing a knitwear factory is four decisions, not one: which construction you want, which yarn supports it, how many pieces you can commit to per colour, and how long you can wait. This page answers those four with figures we publish rather than adjectives. Licheng Knitwear runs OEM, ODM and private label knitwear from Dongguan, China. Minimum order is 30 pieces per colour, with sizes mixable inside the 30. Samples run 15 to 25 days from a confirmed tech pack and yarn; bulk runs 30 to 45 days. If those three numbers do not fit your project, the rest of this page will not change that, and it is better that you know now.

A pet knitwear sourcing read counted from our own published range: two separate size runs rather than one stretched chart, acrylic on 12 of 17 styles for wash durability, 10 of 17 at 7GG-12GG, and why the harness opening has to be on the tech pack before knitting.

Ready sample styles and selected custom programs can support lower-risk trials before larger seasonal orders.
Yes. Brands, including new labels preparing a first collection, can pay for a sample and see it before placing a production order. Two routes: a ready sample of a published style at USD 60 per piece in about 7 days, or a development sample from your tech pack at USD 150 per style, covering yarn sourcing, knit programming, one prototype and one revision round, in 15-25 days. Cashmere and mohair styles are quoted individually and shipping is charged at cost. Production starts only after you approve the physical sample, at our minimum of 30 pieces per colour with sizes mixed inside the 30. A sample does not commit you to a production run; we do not make garments for personal use.
Our sample fee is not refundable. Yarn sourcing, knit programming, machine setup and hand linking cost about the same whether one piece follows or five hundred, which is why the fee exists at all. It is credited against your first bulk order placed within six months of sample approval: 100% of a development sample fee, 50% of a ready sample fee.
Yes, for brands developing a style. One development piece is fine, with no commitment to bulk: a development sample is USD 150 per style and covers yarn sourcing, knit programming, one prototype and one revision round, in 15-25 days (cashmere and mohair are quoted individually). If you then go to production, the minimum is 30 pieces per colour with sizes mixed inside the 30, and the full USD 150 is credited against a first bulk order placed within six months of approving the sample. We do not make garments for personal wear.
Plain and striped styles using the same yarn and colour can be combined toward a minimum of 30 pieces, with mixed sizes. For example, four plain styles of 25 pieces each in the same yarn and colour total 100 pieces and meet that minimum. Different yarns or colours are counted separately. Jacquard and intarsia require 30 pieces per pattern; quantities from different patterns cannot be combined. Send us your styles, yarns, colours and quantities so we can confirm how the minimum applies to your project.
