Key Factors in Yoga Leggings Manufacturing
Fabric Selection and Performance
High-performance yoga leggings require fabrics that offer four-way stretch, moisture-wicking, and opacity. Common blends include nylon-spandex (e.g., 80/20) and polyester-spandex. luckyyoga uses advanced circular knitting techniques to ensure consistent compression and durability. For OEM clients, fabric sourcing from certified mills ensures compliance with OEKO-TEX standards.
OEM vs. ODM: Which Model Fits Your Brand?
luckyyoga offers both models with low MOQs starting at 500 pieces per color per style for ODM, and 1000 pieces for OEM.
Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ)
