Receive 3 free samples #### **Step 3：5 Tips for Smart Cost Control - Color matching instead of printing: Use corporate color trim on the collar/cuffs (save ￥8/piece compared to full body print) - Select stock fabrics： Refuse to use "imported special fabrics" and use the main fabrics in the factory inventory (shorten the construction period by 7 days) - Concentrated size： Order M/L/XL according to the ratio of men and women (reduce the surcharge for special sizes such as XXS） - Quarterly staggered order placement： Enjoy 5% discount on orders placed during the off-season of March/August - Precision preparation： Formula: Number of orders = Number of employees × 1.2 + 5 (spare parts) #### **Step 4：Acceptance avoidance checklist + Must check items： - Thread ends: No thread ends exceeding 1cm at the lining seams - Color difference: Spread out the same batch of clothes and compare the blocks without color difference - LOGO：Scrape it 10 times with your fingernail without warping the edge (embroidery is stronger than hot stamping) - Breathability: Blow the back of the fabric with your mouth and feel the air permeability with your palm ! Key Points： Take an unboxing video when receiving the goods, and refuse to sign on the spot if there are any problems! --- ### **3. Solutions to high-frequency problems faced by small businesses #### Question 1: What should I do if my employees have different body shapes? - plan: Choose elastic fabric (polyester cotton containing 5% spandex) - Provide a "universal fit" (e.g. a straight-cut work jacket is very inclusive) - For every 10 people, order 1 XXL piece as spare #### Question 2: Are you afraid of failure due to complicated LOGO design? - Haiyuan free services: → Send the original LOGO file via WeChat → 3 simplified design plans (suitable for embroidery/printing) → Make 1 sample first to confirm the effect #### Question 3: Urgent need for temporary replenishment? - Emergency access: Calling basic inventory (sent by SF Express in 3 days) - LOGO added later: sent back to the factory for processing after receiving the goods (suitable for small additions within 5 pieces) --- ### 4.
