Related FAQ
How does POXIOL control teamwear quality?
POXIOL uses a multi-stage QC process covering fabric condition, print clarity, color consistency, stitching, size measurement, quantity check and packing review before shipment.
Can I request photos before shipment?
Yes. POXIOL can provide project-based production or packing photos when required and confirmed before production.
Can POXIOL provide testing documents?
Testing documents may be available depending on fabric type, target market and buyer requirements. Buyers should confirm testing needs before production.
What is the acceptable size tolerance for custom sportswear?
In the custom teamwear industry, a size tolerance of ±2 cm (approx. 0.8 inches) is the standard for manual cutting and sewing. This variation is normal across different batches and is not considered a manufacturing defect.
Is a physical sample required before bulk production?
For new private label collections or large B2B orders, a physical sample is highly recommended. It serves as the master reference for color matching, fabric hand-feel, and size confirmation before committing to bulk inventory.
