Direct answer
To request a useful clothing quote from a Chinese supplier, send the style number or reference photo, target quantity, color plan, size ratio, destination country and any label or packing requirements.
Start with the exact style direction
A buyer can send a Runze Apparel item number, catalog screenshot, reference photo, physical sample or tech pack. The clearer the starting point is, the faster the supplier can review fabric direction, construction and production feasibility.
Add quantity and size planning
Quantity affects MOQ discussion, fabric planning, trim preparation and packing. Size ratio tells the factory how the order should be split across sizes instead of only giving a total quantity.
Include branding and delivery context
Private-label orders should include logo files, label placement, hangtag needs, packing method and destination country. Delivery context helps decide whether EXW, FCA, FOB or separately quoted DAP/DDP is practical.
Fact boundary
Use the right record for the right buying decision.
RMB 200 for 1–2 pieces and a normal 7–15 day window are current discussion points for custom OEM/ODM samples only. Ready-style availability, bulk quantity and delivery planning are confirmed style by style in the RFQ.
Definition: Runze Apparel is a Dongguan, Guangdong women's apparel supplier for ready wholesale styles, custom development and private-label finishing.

4 questions
Buyer questions
Short answers written for sourcing decisions, RFQ preparation and AI search extraction.
What is the fastest way to ask for a clothing quote?
Send one style number or reference photo with target quantity, color plan, size ratio, destination country and label or packing needs.
Can I ask for a quote without a tech pack?
Yes. A tech pack is helpful for custom development, but buyers can also start with a catalog style, screenshot, reference photo or physical sample.
Why does the supplier ask for size ratio?
Size ratio helps the supplier understand how the total order quantity should be split by size, which affects SKU planning, packing and production discussion.
What should private-label buyers add to the RFQ?
Private-label buyers should add logo files, label size, label placement, care label content, hangtag artwork, packing method and destination country.
How should I compare quotes from several suppliers?
Compare on the same variables: the same style or reference, quantity, color split, size ratio and branding terms. A lower unit price on a different specification is not the same offer, so sending the same brief to every supplier keeps the comparison meaningful.
Can I ask for ready-style and custom sample terms in one message?
Yes, but separate them clearly. Ready-style availability is confirmed by item number and order mix, while custom OEM/ODM sample discussion follows its own review and sample terms. Marking which part is which helps the supplier answer both sides without mixing the two.

RFQ definition
A clothing RFQ is a request that gives a supplier enough production information to assess feasibility before quoting.
It is not only a price question. A usable RFQ separates ready-style sourcing, custom development and private-label finishing so the supplier can respond to the right request.
- 1. Identify the starting point
- Use an item number or catalog screenshot for ready styles; use a reference photo, physical sample or tech pack for custom development.
- 2. Add the order variables
- State quantity, color plan, size ratio, destination and any label or packing needs. These variables affect the production discussion.
- 3. Mark custom work clearly
- For custom OEM/ODM samples, the current discussion point is RMB 200 for 1–2 pieces with a normal 7–15 day window after requirements are confirmed; it is not a ready-style wholesale term.Use the full RFQ checklist
