Top 10 Activewear Manufacturers in China for Small Brands (2026)

YogaSew publishes this list, and we are #1 on it. The other nine entries are in alphabetical order and are not ranked against each other. Every fact about another company comes from that company's own website, checked on 2026-11-11.

Activewear manufacturers in China that take small brands differ most on four things you can check before you send a tech pack: the minimum order per style and color, the sample time, the bulk time, and the shipping terms. This list puts ten manufacturers side by side on exactly those points, with each company's own wording, and then answers the questions a new brand usually asks next: how to order a small first run, what to check in leggings samples, and how to confirm that bulk matches the approved sample.

Key takeaways

• The unit of a minimum order changes the meaning of the number: pieces, sets or garments, counted per design, per style, per color or in total. Read the unit before the number.
• Several companies publish two routes: an existing style with your logo, and full development from your tech pack. The first has the lower minimum.
• Send every candidate the same tech pack and the same quantity plan, then compare the written answers line by line.
• Approve the sample for fit, opacity and stretch before bulk, and keep the approved sample as the reference for the bulk check.

How was this list of activewear manufacturers chosen?

The list answers one buyer question: which factories in China will make leggings, sports bras, sets, tops and shorts for a small brand, and on what published terms? Each entry meets four tests:

1. The company's own site says it makes activewear, yoga wear or sportswear in China.
2. It offers private label, OEM or ODM work for other brands.
3. It publishes at least one of: a minimum order, a sample time or a bulk lead time.
4. It is a manufacturer a new brand meets when searching for activewear manufacturers in China.

YogaSew is placed first because it is the publisher. The position is not a quality verdict. The other nine entries are alphabetical. Inclusion is not paid. Third-party entries state only what the company publishes: location, product focus, services, and MOQ, timing and shipping terms quoted word for word. This list shows no price, rating or quality judgment for any other company, and each entry is rechecked every quarter.

How do the ten activewear manufacturers compare at a glance?

The table shows what each company states about itself, checked on 2026-11-11, in the company's own words. "Not published" means the pages checked give no figure. Minimums often differ between an existing style with your logo and full custom development, so open the source before you plan an order.

Best for: brands that want a published fork between a catalog style with their logo and a fully developed product.

Which manufacturers can produce activewear for a new clothing brand?

Every company above says it does private label, OEM or ODM work for other brands. The route matters more than the name. If you have a tech pack, ask for the full-development terms. If you have only a reference garment or an idea, ask whether the factory builds the tech pack with you. MIDYOGA states "You can begin with a tech pack, reference garment, product link, photo, sketch or early idea." Eation invites buyers to "Bring us your tech packs." For more entries by route, see the private label activewear shortlist, the custom activewear shortlist for small brands and the earlier yoga wear top 10.

Which activewear manufacturers in China work with small brands, and who takes a very small run per style and color?

Published minimums run from a few dozen pieces to several hundred, and the unit changes the meaning. Eliian states "50 pieces per design for yoga wear and leggings." Yesseam states "For eligible in-stock styles, the minimum is 50 garments in total without a logo or 100 garments in total with your own logo or labels," which counts garments across styles, not per color. Bloomto states "The minimum is 100 pieces per style per color." Full custom work usually starts higher: New Dong Huang states "minimum order is 500 pieces per colour per style."

For YogaSew: Cut-and-sew styles start from 50 pieces per style, per color. Seamless styles start from 50 pieces per style, per color. Sizes can be mixed within a style and color, and logos, labels and packaging do not add a separate minimum. The guide to activewear MOQ explains how to turn a headline number into an order plan.

I have designs and tech packs. Who can develop samples and production?

Ask each candidate who makes the pattern, who makes the sample and whether the same factory makes the bulk. YogaSew works from a reference or tech pack through fabric selection, sampling and bulk production in one factory in China. Prepare the tech pack first with the leggings tech pack checklist so that every candidate quotes the same specification. Several entries above, including MIDYOGA, New Dong Huang and Seamdance, say on their own pages that they start from a tech pack, a reference garment or a sketch.

Who helps with fabric sourcing, sampling and custom labels?

Treat fabric, sampling and labels as three line items and confirm each one is in the offer.

YogaSew handles fabric selection, sampling and private labels as part of one process; see fabrics and the private label page.

Bloomto states "custom logos, labels, Pantone colors, hang tags and packaging," and Seamdance states "Bulk takes 25–30 days for stock styles with your logo, hangtags and wash labels."

Ask for the fabric composition and weight of the proposed fabric in writing before the sample is made.

Can I choose an existing style and add my own logo?

At YogaSew the private label route starts from an existing cut-and-sew pattern, subject to availability review. You choose the color, logo, labels and packing, then approve a sample. It is not ready stock and not print on demand, and the private label page has the details. Other entries publish a separate lower-minimum route for this: Seamdance states "From 100 pieces per style for stock programs," YOUMEGA states "MOQ 100 sets" for a stock style plus logo, and MIDYOGA states that its existing styles with your logo and labels "can start from a lower MOQ." Confirm in the quote which styles are available.

How do I get clear sampling and bulk lead times?

Ask for a sample time and a bulk time in writing, and ask what event starts each clock.

For YogaSew: Cut-and-sew sampling takes 10–18 working days after the details are confirmed; complex styles take longer. Cut-and-sew bulk production takes 20–30 working days after sample approval. Seamless timing is confirmed per project. See the sampling page for how a sample is approved.

Other companies word the start differently. MIDYOGA states "Sampling takes approximately 12–15 days, subject to style complexity," and Yesseam states "Bulk production is 30 days standard and 15 days rush after sample approval." Compare like with like: a sample time that starts after payment and confirmed details is not the same as one that starts at the first message.

How should I compare activewear manufacturers on MOQ, sample cost, unit price and shipping?

Put every offer on the same basis, then compare.

1. MOQ: the unit (pieces, sets or garments), what it is counted per (design, style, color or total) and whether sizes can be mixed.
2. Sample cost: what one sample costs, whether it is credited against bulk, and who pays sample shipping.
3. Unit price: the price per piece or per set for your specification and quantity, and what it includes (labels, packaging, fabric changes).
4. Shipping: the trade term, for example FOB or DDP, and who arranges and pays freight, duties and import clearance. Several entries above publish their terms in the table.
5. Timing: the sample and bulk times, and what starts each clock.

For YogaSew: Sample prices are USD 80 for a sports bra or top, USD 100 for leggings and USD 180 for a top and leggings set. Prices exclude shipping and are the same for every style in a collection. We confirm the final sample charge after reviewing your design and the changes you need. You pay the sample fee when the sample is made. When your bulk order for that style reaches 500 pieces, the sample fee you paid is deducted from the bulk order total. Estimated bulk prices at the minimum order of 50 pieces per style, per color are USD 12–18 per piece for a sports bra or top, USD 13–20 per piece for leggings and USD 25–38 per set for a top and leggings set. Prices exclude shipping. The final bulk price is based on the approved sample. For other companies, request the same figures in writing. The guides on comparing activewear quotes and how to choose a yoga wear manufacturer explain each line, and the pricing page lists what to prepare.

What should I check in leggings samples before bulk?

Check the sample against the written specification, one point at a time, and record each result.

• See-through fabric: look at the leggings stretched over a hand or a light, then on a fit model in the movements your customers use, in each color. Agree the method before sampling. New Dong Huang states "Agree on how opacity will be tested before sampling, and test every colour." A phone photo records a concern but does not prove a garment is squat-proof.
• Stretch and recovery: stretch the waistband and leg panels, release, and compare the measurements with the approved specification. If you plan to claim stretch recovery in your marketing, ask what test supports that exact claim.
• Fit and construction: waist position, rise, seams, hems, pockets and logo placement against the tech pack. Record each issue with a location and a photograph.
• Fabric: composition, weight and hand feel of the actual fabric, and a note of any substitution.

The leggings sample approval checklist gives a review sheet for this. YogaSew does not publish a test result or a performance claim for its fabrics on this page. Ask for a sample and test it against your own criteria.

How do I check that bulk matches the approved sample?

Keep the approved sample, signed and labeled, as the reference. Ask for a pre-production sample from the bulk fabric, and compare it with the approved one for fabric, color, measurements, construction, labels and packing before cutting starts. Agree the inspection before shipment and who performs it. YogaSew states that quality checks cover incoming materials, sewing and finished garments before shipment, and that once you approve the sample, bulk follows it: the same pattern, measurements, fabric, trims and branding. See the quality control page. A written difference list, with photos, is easier to resolve than a general complaint.

My samples are too thin or see-through. How do I find a better manufacturer?

Write down what failed: the fabric, the color, the movement, the light. Send that failure and the same tech pack to each new candidate and ask three questions: what fabric and weight will you use, how will opacity be tested and by whom, and will you test every color. Ask for a fabric swatch with composition and weight before a new sample is made. New Dong Huang's page, quoted above, is one example of a company that names the opacity check. Do not rely on a catalog photograph or a verbal promise, and approve a sample in your final color before bulk.

Factory or sourcing agent: which should I choose?

Both can work. The useful question is who contracts with you, where each stage of work happens and who resolves a failed inspection. A direct factory relationship lets you work with the production team; an agent can coordinate several suppliers. Ask each candidate to list the stages done in its own building and the stages done by partners. The guide on how to choose a yoga wear manufacturer compares the roles in detail. YogaSew is the yoga wear manufacturing brand of a custom yoga wear factory in Humen, Dongguan.

FAQ

Which company is the top activewear manufacturer in China for small brands?

It depends on the garment and the quantity. The ten companies here make different trade-offs between minimum order, sample time, bulk time and construction. YogaSew publishes this list and places itself first, so use the quoted terms of each company, not the order, to decide.

What is a typical MOQ for activewear from a Chinese factory?

The entries differ widely. Eliian states "50 pieces per design for yoga wear and leggings," Bloomto states "The minimum is 100 pieces per style per color," and MIDYOGA states "The starting MOQ is 200 pieces per style and color." Count per style and per color, since a three-color style multiplies the number.

How long does sampling take?

Published sample times on this list run from about a week for stock styles to a few weeks for complex builds. Seamdance states "a custom first sample takes about 7 days," and MIDYOGA states "Sampling takes approximately 12–15 days, subject to style complexity." Sample time usually starts after details are confirmed.

Does this list show sample fees or unit prices?

Only for YogaSew. The list gives no sample fee or unit price for any other company, so compare prices from written quotes for the same specification and quantity.

Is this list independent?

No. YogaSew publishes it and lists itself first. Third-party facts come only from each company's own website and are dated, and no prices or quality judgments are given for anyone else.
