MOQ and unit price should be discussed together. A buyer who asks only for “the price per shirt” may receive a number that hides the assumptions driving it.
Break the cost into visible blocks
Separate fabric, trims, sewing and finishing, labels, packaging, sample work, inspection, inland movement and freight. Specify fabric composition and weight, not only a trade name. The shirt fabric process guide helps with material detail.
Read MOQ as a production condition
Check whether MOQ is total pieces, style, color, fabric lot or special workmanship. A 500-piece total order can still require a different plan if it contains many colors and sizes. The small-batch shirt order guide gives a practical example.
Compare the same quality gate
Use the same approved sample, measurement tolerance, inspection method, packing and delivery term for each quotation. The shirt production quality control process prevents price comparisons from hiding different quality scopes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the biggest driver of shirt OEM cost?
There is no single driver; fabric, weight, construction, trims, branding, quantity, packing, inspection and delivery scope can all affect the result.
Does a larger order always lower the unit price?
Often it can spread development and setup cost, but material, color split, special process and production scheduling still need review.
What MOQ should a new buyer plan around?
Mingsheng's current ordinary-project starting reference is 500 pieces, subject to style, color, fabric, workmanship and delivery confirmation.
