Certifications and Compliance: Why They Matter
When choosing who you’ll buy from, make sure you’ll be buying from someone specifically that has certifications and is compliant. This doesn’t just help with making sure you’re getting what you ask for but also from the ethical and sustainable manufacturing component. Certifications like ISO9000, BSCI, GOTS, GRS, OEKO, these are all certifications that say, “Hey, I’m a supplier that means business. I follow great quality systems and I pay attention to the environment because I’m a sustainable kind of person.” You want to be aligned with someone like that, but it also helps you because if you’re building a brand and you want to attract those consumers, they’re the ones who want to buy from you.
For example, with us at Xiesheng, we have a whole litany of these certifications, because we’re confident enough to say, “Hey, our stuff’s good. You should buy from us.” Not everybody can say that, and that’s why you want to align with somebody who’s able to say that if you don’t have those capabilities.
Production Capabilities: Ensuring Consistency and Scalability
The other thing you want to pay attention to is, you want to make sure they can make the quantity you need to make, and they can make the quantity without screwing everything up. They’ve got to have the wherewithal, the structure and the people to execute on your brand and everything else.
At Xiesheng, we have a 100,000 square foot factory with multiple lines in it. We can make product and we can make a ton of it at a time. We have craftsmen who make product to your specifications.
Quality Control: The Bedrock of Brand Reputation
On the other side, every reputable brand has quality control. Good suppliers have even more quality control in place to make sure it’s right. That means they do good things like ISO in the factory. That means they have good chains who source good goods. They’re checking the high-grade fabric, the little pieces, the things that need to go inside. It means they have people who are good crafters who know how a garment should be constructed.
Over at Xiesheng, for example, every piece of fabric that comes in the door is checked. We do quality control through all the steps of the process, from raw materials to inspecting it before it gets put in the bag.
Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs): Balancing Cost and Demand
For you to be able to effectively balance cost with demand, you need to understand what suppliers’ minimum order quantities are like. If you can’t hit their high minimums, those are barriers to entry for newer brands that just don’t have the volume yet, or people that are trying something new. On the other hand, low minimum order quantities can mean higher prices per unit.
Here at Xie Sheng, we have flexible minimum order quantities to target small brands and big brands to allow you to order in quantities that make sense for your brand and your budget.
Understanding the supplier’s MOQs is essential to balance cost and demand effectively. High MOQs can be a barrier for smaller brands or those looking to test new products, while low MOQs may be costlier per unit. At Xiesheng, we offer flexible MOQs to cater to brands of all sizes, ensuring that you can order in quantities that align with your business needs and budget.
Logistics and Delivery: Timeliness and Reliability
When it comes to lead times, you need to get your products delivered on time. You don’t need your products delivered late. You don’t need to not know where your products are. You need to have a partner that has worked out those issues working with your corner of the world. When you order something from Xie Sheng, they’ve got that logistically figured out. They’ve got that squared away. They work with a well-known logistic team, and they’re going to make sure your product is on the water and it’s coming your way. With a financially responsible supplier, you can order a product and get it in a predictable fashion.
