Question 1

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for private label swimwear?

Accepted Answer

MOQs are set per collection, not per style. Custom designs start at 400 pieces per collection (minimum 40 per style and 4 per size and colour). Ready Designs start at 300 pieces (minimum 30 per style and 3 per size and colour).

Question 2

How many styles should my first swimwear collection have?

Accepted Answer

Most swimwear labels launch with 8 to 12 styles across tops, bottoms and one-piece swimsuits, plus one or two extra styles to sample.

Question 3

How much does it cost to sample swimwear?

Accepted Answer

Custom swimwear samples cost double the wholesale price plus a USD 30 development fee per style, credited against your bulk deposit. Ready Design samples have no development fee.

Question 4

How long does swimwear production take?

Accepted Answer

Using in-stock colours, custom samples take 1 to 3 weeks and Ready Design samples 1 to 2 weeks. Bulk orders are ready 3 to 5 weeks after we receive your deposit, approved specs and logo files, plus 3 to 5 days by DHL Express.

Question 5

What is the difference between private label and white label swimwear?

Accepted Answer

Private label swimwear is made from your own designs, so nobody else sells your shapes. White label swimwear, such as our Ready Designs, starts from existing proven styles and adds your branding.

Question 6

How much can I sell my swimwear for?

Accepted Answer

Swimwear labels typically retail at 4.6 to 7 times their manufacturing cost: around USD 70 to 109 for a bikini top or bottom in Carvico Vita, and USD 89 to 150 for a one-piece swimsuit.

How much does it cost to ship swimwear from Bali?

We ship worldwide by DHL Express in 3 to 5 days. Bulk orders cost approximately USD 1.30 to 2 per piece, and up to 10 samples cost up to approximately USD 100, depending on destination.

Question 8

Are your swimwear fabrics certified sustainable?

Accepted Answer

Our recycled swim fabrics carry GRS and U Trust certification, and every plain colour uses OEKO-TEX Standard 100 dyes. Recycled nylon cuts CO2 by up to 80%, water by 90% and energy by 50%.
