A corporate shirt order is easier to control when “500 pieces” is treated as a project scope, not just a quantity. The buyer should freeze the garment, logo, size ratio, packing and acceptance method before production.
Start with the size and color matrix
List every color, size and quantity before the quotation is finalized. Confirm whether the MOQ applies to the total order or to each color. The small-batch shirt and MOQ guide shows why a modest total quantity can still create a complex production plan.
Freeze the logo specification
Supply vector artwork where possible and state the logo method: embroidery, heat transfer, screen print or another approved process. Record width, height, position, thread or ink color and acceptable tolerance. The logo sample must be checked on the actual fabric, not only on a screen.
Define acceptance before sewing
The approval sample should cover fabric hand feel, color, collar, placket, button, stitching, logo and measurement points. Bulk inspection should then compare production against that approved reference. For a broader check, use the shirt sample-to-bulk consistency guide and the shirt production quality control process.
Confirm packing and delivery
Write the fold, polybag, carton marks, barcode, carton quantity and shipping marks into the purchase documents. Lead time should begin only after the final sample, materials and artwork are approved. Mingsheng can review work-shirt specifications through its shirt OEM/ODM service.
