Factors That Affect Production Time
Design Complexity
Custom designs featuring detailed logos, multiple colours, intricate patterns, or specialised knitting techniques may require additional preparation before production begins.
Order Quantity
Large wholesale orders or multi-location business orders may require additional production scheduling to ensure consistent quality across the entire order.
Custom Packaging
Retail-ready packaging, branded belly bands, custom labels, or promotional inserts can extend packaging and fulfilment preparation time.
Seasonal Demand
Production schedules may become busier during peak periods such as:

Planning ahead helps avoid delays during these high-demand periods.
