Sourcing Guide

How to Request a Fabric Sample from a China Supplier

A fabric sample request is most useful when the buyer explains what they need to test and how the bulk order may follow. For buyers, the important questions are whether the gradient works for the garment panel, whether the fabric stretches enough for movement and whether the surface effect matches the final lighting environment.

01

Confirm the visual direction

Gradient foil creates a color-flow effect, so buyers should think about how the material will be placed on the garment. A panel, sleeve or bodysuit can show the gradient differently depending on cutting direction.

02

Check stretch and garment fit

The source data confirms 4-way stretch. Buyers should still test a physical sample to see whether stretch and recovery match the final performance apparel design.

03

Review specifications before quotation

Key confirmed details include 150 cm / 59 in width, 180 GSM weight and 100 m / 109 yd MOQ. If the project needs custom color development, confirm timing and minimums before sampling.

04

Use samples for final approval

Review the sample under the final-use lighting, then check stretch, sewing and surface appearance. Keep the approved sample for bulk comparison.
