As a premium activewear manufacturer, luckyyoga is dedicated to helping brands navigate these complexities to produce high-performance garments that meet market demands.
Understanding OEM and ODM in Activewear
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing)
OEM involves manufacturing products based on a buyer's design and specifications. In activewear, this means you provide the fabric type, color, cut, and branding, and the manufacturer produces exactly to your requirements. luckyyoga offers OEM services with a focus on precision and consistency.
ODM (Original Design Manufacturing)
ODM allows you to choose from existing designs or patterns developed by the manufacturer. This is ideal for brands that want to expedite product development without starting from scratch. luckyyoga's ODM catalog includes a variety of activewear styles that can be customized with your fabric and branding.
MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) Considerations
MOQ is a critical factor in activewear manufacturing. It represents the minimum number of units a manufacturer will produce per style per color. luckyyoga offers flexible MOQs to accommodate both emerging brands and established companies.
