Private-Label Lingerie: Choose a Launch Route Before You Order

For LXSC existing catalogue styles, the minimum is 100 pieces per model. Confirm size and colour allocation and availability in the quote. Adding labels or packaging, changing materials or developing a colour requires its own scope review; it is not automatically included in that minimum.

Original-design custom production starts from 10,000 pieces, subject to feasibility and confirmed allocation. A photo, new neckline, cup change or new pattern should be assessed as a product change rather than casually described as adding a logo.

Give each candidate a customer role and obtain the actual allocation rules. Do not calculate a multi-colour launch by assuming an unconfirmed per-colour minimum or unrestricted mixing. Include samples, setup, goods, branding, transport and destination charges as separately identified items.

Keep a contingency distinct from the agreed quality standard. A reserve for returns or unexpected costs is not permission for a supplier to ship a stated percentage of defective goods. Confirm nonconformance handling in the commercial agreement.

For the garment, approve the identified sample, measuring points, size coverage and construction. For branding, approve the file version, wording, placement and physical output where needed. One approval does not substitute for the other.

Record changes and outstanding questions in a single versioned specification. A material or cup change can require renewed fit checks. Keep an approved reference and define the shipment inspection plan instead of assuming sampling removes all bulk risk.

Confirm the delivery point, responsible parties, packing, documents and applicable destination requirements. Agree when each stage starts: material readiness, production, release, transit and receipt. The overall launch date must allow for unresolved approvals rather than rely on a generic factory lead time.

After receipt, reconcile the allocation and record completed sales, stockouts, returns and customer fit questions by variant. Decide which models to repeat, revise or stop using that evidence. No fixed sell-through, launch duration or profit is promised by this workflow.
