We would\nlike to produce our first product in Portugal and your site mentions\nseamless manufacturing and flexible MOQs.\n\nProduct: men's short-sleeve compression shirt, black only, sizes S-XL.\n- Fine dark-tonal-grey contour lines KNITTED into the body, front and back\n(jacquard on seamless circular machines). Not printed, no silicone.\n- Jacquard texture on the shoulders \/ upper sleeves.\n- Small matte-white logo (front) and wordmark (upper back).\n- Polyamide\/elastane (under 12% elastane is fine), around 200-240 g\/m2,\ncompression fit, matte, opaque under stretch.\n\nOur two priorities are the lowest possible MOQ and the technical fit with\nthis design. The first order would be 100-300 pcs in black, sizes mixed,\nwith repeat orders if the quality is right.\n\nCould you tell us:\n1. Is the seamless production done on circular seamless machines (Santoni\nor similar), in your own factory or a partner's? Can a custom line pattern\nbe programmed from our artwork?\n2. Your lowest MOQ for a custom knitted pattern (per style, per colour or\nper size), and any programming or development fee.\n3. The recommended composition and weight for a true compression fit.\n4. Sample cost and lead time, and bulk lead time.\n5. Indicative price per piece at 100 \/ 300 \/ 500 pcs.\n\nI can send our full tech pack (PDF) and front\/back artwork as soon as you\nreply.\n\nThank you,\nGabriel\nDEFINED",
