Starting a custom babywear line can feel overwhelming—but with the right partner, the journey from idea to shipment becomes clear, efficient, and exciting.
Our custom babywear process guides new brands through design, sampling, safety compliance, and production—making it easy to launch beautiful, safe collections.
Here’s exactly how we bring your babywear vision to life.
How We Turn Your Babywear Ideas into Production-Ready Designs?
Every brand has its own dream style—and our job is to turn that vision into something wearable, lovable, and manufacturable.
We turn your babywear ideas into production-ready designs by reviewing your concepts, creating detailed tech packs, sourcing the right fabrics, and offering expert suggestions to balance creativity and practicality.
Our design development steps:
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Idea review | You send sketches, mood boards, reference samples |
| Material sourcing | We recommend suitable fabrics, trims, and colors |
| Tech pack creation | Detailed blueprints for sewing, sizing, and finishing |
| Costing evaluation | We confirm target price based on fabric + labor |
| Sampling agreement | Approve designs before moving to sample making |
Don't worry if you only have a rough sketch or a Pinterest board—we help refine it into professional-grade production files.
At Fumao, we specialize in turning rough concepts into polished tech packs ready for efficient manufacturing.
What to Expect During Sampling, Fitting, and Revisions?
Sampling is where your dream becomes real—but it often takes a few rounds to perfect fit, feel, and function.
During sampling, we create prototypes based on your tech packs, arrange fittings for feedback, and revise designs until they meet your expectations and global safety standards.
Sampling and revision stages:
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Prototype creation | First samples made in chosen fabrics |
| Fitting session | You review sizing, seam placement, comfort |
| Feedback loop | Notes collected: adjustments to size, fit, construction |
| Second sample round | Updated samples sent for re-approval |
| Final Pre-Production Sample (PPS) | The production standard reference |
Typical number of rounds:
- Basic styles: 1–2 sample rounds
- Complex custom styles: 2–3 rounds
We recommend brands plan for at least 2 months for sampling to allow for thoughtful adjustments—not rushed compromises.
How We Ensure Fabric Safety, Quality, and Compliance?
Safety and softness are everything in babywear. Our process is built to deliver both without compromise.
We ensure fabric safety, quality, and compliance by using certified materials, working with accredited labs for chemical and flammability testing, and running strict in-house inspections before shipping.
How we handle safety and quality:
| Action | What It Guarantees |
|---|---|
| Source OEKO-TEX® / GOTS fabrics | Non-toxic, skin-safe materials |
| Pre-shipment lab testing | Passes CPSIA (U.S.), REACH (EU) requirements |
| Small parts pull testing | Snap/button strength verified |
| Seam and stitching audits | Durable, comfort-fit construction |
| Shrinkage and colorfastness tests | Garments perform well after washing |
For custom orders, we offer optional lab testing packages so you can promote your brand with compliance badges (e.g., “Certified OEKO-TEX® Babywear”).
This builds both legal protection and parent trust.
Timeline and MOQ Details for Launching Your First Collection?
Knowing the timeline and minimum order quantities (MOQs) upfront helps you plan smarter, launch faster, and avoid unnecessary delays.
Our typical timeline for custom babywear production is 3–6 months from design brief to delivery, with flexible MOQs starting from 300 pieces per style per color.
Our standard process timeline:
| Stage | Estimated Time Frame |
|---|---|
| Design & tech pack creation | 2–4 weeks |
| Sampling & fitting rounds | 4–8 weeks |
| Bulk production | 6–10 weeks after PPS approval |
| Shipping & delivery | 3–6 weeks depending on location |
Typical MOQ setup:
- 300–500 pcs per style per color (negotiable for smaller brands)
- Mix between 2–3 sizes allowed per color run (e.g., NB–6M–12M)
We also offer starter packages for new brands who want to test collections before committing to larger bulk orders.
Conclusion
Our custom babywear process is designed to be clear, flexible, and brand-friendly—from sketch to shipment. By combining professional design support, rigorous sampling, certified safety, and scalable production, we help new brands confidently launch collections that parents trust and babies love.
