Include the product application
Start with the finished product: dancewear, stage costumes, swimwear, cheerleading uniforms, performance apparel, props or backdrops. Application helps the supplier recommend a stretch base, surface effect and construction that can be tested for the intended use.
Ask for the same units your team uses
Many textile suppliers quote in meters while US buyers may plan in yards. Ask the supplier to show both units in the MOQ and roll information. Nixia Fabric product pages use metric and US-friendly units together, such as 100 m / 109 yd, to reduce confusion during quotation review.
Clarify samples, freight and timing
For ready-stock products, the stock sample is free and normally prepared in 1–3 working days. For made-to-order products, a custom sample requires a customization fee and is normally prepared in 3–5 working days. The buyer covers international shipping. Ready-stock dispatch is typically 3–5 working days, while made-to-order production is typically 7–15 working days after details are confirmed.
Use a simple RFQ structure
Include the product or reference image, application, target color, required width, estimated quantity in meters or yards, sample requirement, US destination and expected delivery date. Add testing, packaging or private-label requirements before the quotation is finalized.
Confirm these points before you order
- Product application and target surface effect
- Quantity in meters and yards
- Width, weight, stretch and color target
- Stock or custom route and sample requirement
- US destination, shipping method and delivery deadline
