Factory selection should answer one question: can this production source make the specified shirt repeatedly at the required quantity, quality and delivery window? A checklist makes the answer comparable.
The twelve checks
- Legal entity and bank-account match.
- Actual production address and site ownership or operating relationship.
- Shirt category and relevant production experience.
- Cutting, sewing, pressing and packing equipment.
- Pattern, sample and tech-pack response.
- Fabric and trim sourcing route.
- In-process and final quality checkpoints.
- Approved-sample and change-control records.
- MOQ by style, color and special workmanship.
- Available capacity and current production queue.
- Subcontracting, inspection and corrective-action handling.
- Export documents, packing and delivery coordination.
The BSCI and Sedex audit guide explains why social-compliance evidence should remain separate from product-quality evidence.
Compare factories with the same brief
Send the same measurements, fabric, quantity, color split, packing and acceptance method to each candidate. Then compare sample quality, itemized price and realistic lead time. The shirt OEM factory types comparison helps match supplier structure to order complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a factory video enough to pass supplier due diligence?
No. Use the video as an introduction, then verify the legal entity, site, equipment, sample process, quality records and order relationship.
Which capability should be checked first?
Start with whether the factory actually makes the required shirt type and can support the quantity, fabric, workmanship and delivery window.
Does an audit certificate replace a factory visit?
No. Certificates and audits are useful evidence, but the current production site and order-specific quality process still need review.
