Please see my answers to your questions\nbelow in *red. *\n\n1. *Quantities:* What is the total quantity you plan to produce per\nstyle? *Before\nconfirming total quantities per style, could you let us know **whether your\nMOQ of 200 units\/style is negotiable for a first order, or if a lower tier\nis** available for an initial production run? We're an early-stage brand\nand want to align quantities with a realistic first launch.*\n2. *Target Price:* What is your maximum target production price per\nstyle? *Since\nthis is a new, custom fabric blend for us, we don't have a fixed target\nprice established yet. We'd appreciate seeing your standard cost breakdown\nper style (fabric, labor, trims, etc.) so we can assess fit on our end\nbefore settling on quantities. *\n3. *Desired Delivery Date:* What is your desired delivery date for the bulk\norder? *We're aiming to finalize samples by mid-October and place a bulk\norder shortly after approval, with a goal of receiving inventory by mid\/end\nJanuary.*\n\nAdditionally, I have 2 follow-up questions:\n1. Following up on the Pantone match - could you clarify whether the lab\ndip fee for non-Pantones is a one-time cost across all fabric types, or\ncharged separately per fabric (Tencel\/merino blend vs. Pima cotton)?\n2. What are your standard payment terms for a first bulk order - e.g.,\ndeposit percentage upfront, balance due before shipment or upon delivery- and\ndo you offer any adjusted terms for a first-time order versus repeat orders?\n\nLooking forward to your response.\n\nBest,\n\nTrina\n\nOn Wed, 23 Sept 2026 at 06:31, Matilde Azevedo \nwrote:\n\n> Hello Trina,\n>\n> Thank you for reaching out and sharing your preliminary tech pack with us.\n> I'm excited to learn more about your petroleum-free activewear brand.\n>\n> To proceed with your project, I need to gather some specific details:\n>\n> 1. *Quantities:* What is the total quantity you plan to produce per style?\n> 2. *Target Price:* What is your maximum target production price per style?\n> 3. *Desired Delivery Date:* What is your desired delivery date for the\n> bulk order?\n>\n> Regarding your questions:\n>\n> 1.
