            "content": "Hello Matilde,\n\nThank you for your reply and for taking the time to review my inquiry.\n\nAt this stage, I am still in the early product development phase and evaluating potential manufacturing partners for a long-term collaboration.\n\nTo answer your questions:\n\nDesigns \/ Tech Pack\nAt the moment, I do not have a finalized Tech Pack or physical sample. I am currently defining the product specifications and evaluating different manufacturing options before moving into the development stage.\nMy initial focus is on a premium heavyweight oversized T-shirt intended for the contemporary lifestyle and streetwear market. I am looking for a clean, high-quality garment with a relaxed oversized fit, dropped shoulders, premium finishing, and fabrics in the range of approximately 240\u2013300 GSM.\n\nI would be interested to know whether you can support product development and Tech Pack creation based on references, measurements, and design direction.\n\nQuantities\nFor the initial launch, I am considering approximately 3\u20135 styles, with an estimated quantity of 25-50 units per style, depending on MOQ requirements and final costs.\nThe objective of the first production run is to validate product quality, fit, and market response before scaling future collections.\n\nTimeline\nAt the moment, I am flexible regarding timelines. My priority is finding the right manufacturing partner and developing the product correctly rather than rushing production.\nIdeally, I would like to move into sampling within the next few weeks and plan the first production run afterward.\n\nTarget Price\nAs I am still evaluating fabrics, construction methods, and finishing options, I do not yet have a fixed target production price.\nMy priority is quality, consistency, and long-term brand positioning rather than achieving the lowest possible cost. However, it would be helpful to understand your typical price ranges for a premium heavyweight oversized T-shirt produced in Portugal.\n\nIn addition, I would appreciate receiving information regarding:\n\nSample development process and costs\nAvailable heavyweight fabric options\nMOQ requirements for private label production\nCustom labels and branding options\nPrinting and embroidery capabilities\nPackaging solutions\nTypical sampling and production lead times\nI look forward to learning more about your capabilities and exploring whether there may be a good fit for collaboration.\n\nKind regards,\n\nCristian\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n> On Jun 23, 2026, at 10:43\u202fAM, Matilde Azevedo  wrote:\n> \n> Hello Cristian,\n> \n> Thank you for contacting us.

            "content": "Hello Cristian,\n\nThank you for providing more details about your project. I understand that you're in the early stages of development and looking for the right manufacturing partner.\n\nRegarding your request for support in product development and Tech Pack creation, I must clarify that we do not provide design services or create Tech Packs. We work from existing Tech Packs or physical samples provided by our clients.\n\nFor the quantities you've mentioned, our minimum order quantity for T-shirts is strictly 200 units per style. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate quantities lower than this. If you're looking to produce fewer than 200 units, I recommend visiting www.privatelabelclothes.com, which might be more suitable for your initial needs.\n\nAs for your other inquiries:\n\n- **Sample Development**: The cost of a sample depends entirely on the complexity of each specific design. We would need to evaluate your Tech Pack or physical sample to provide a proper sample quotation.\n- **Fabric Options**: We can discuss available heavyweight fabric options once we have a clearer idea of your specific requirements.\n- **Custom Labels and Branding**: We do offer custom neck labels, woven labels, side labels, hangtags, and care labels as part of our production services.\n- **Printing and Embroidery**: We offer various printing and embroidery options, including DTG printing and embroidery.\n- **Packaging Solutions**: Custom packaging solutions are available, including polybags, branded boxes, and more.\n\nRegarding timelines, our standard cycle is approximately 5 months from the start of sampling to production completion, considering the high standards of Portuguese textile production.\n\nIf you decide to proceed with the minimum quantities, please let me know, and we can discuss further steps.\n\nThank you for considering us as a potential partner, and I look forward to your response.\n\nKind regards,\n\nMatilde",
