Knitwear Manufacturing FAQ
Everything You Need to Know About Working with iCubeNest
Do you work with available color cards or Pantone?
Yes — we work both ways. On regular qualities we hold color cards or can match any Pantone reference you give us; MOQ is 200 pieces per color(Could discuss case by case). On fancy yarns we can dye to Pantone, with an MOQ of 1,000 pieces per color. For the most popular fancy yarns we also hold color cards, so the MOQ there stays at 200 pieces per color.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our standard MOQ is 200 pieces per color(could discuss case by case) for regular qualities, across every category — sweaters, cardigans, scarves, beanies, dresses and sets. Fancy yarns that have to be dyed to Pantone run at 1,000 pieces per color. We understand that startups need flexibility, so we offer lower MOQs for trial orders at a slightly higher per-piece price.
What is your typical lead time?
Sample development takes 7-14 days. Mass production lead time is 45–60 days standard, up to 75 in peak season, counted from order confirmation and sample approval. In peak season (August-October) we recommend booking 2-3 months ahead.
Can you work with my design files?
Yes! We accept tech packs, CAD drawings, reference photos, or even physical samples. Our team will review your files and provide feedback on feasibility, yarn options, and pricing before production begins.
