KNITCERTAIN / PROJECT INQUIRIES
Contact KnitCertain
Tell us what you are building, which products are involved, and where you need manufacturing support.
You may be starting a brand, reviewing a different supplier, or developing a new product range. Start with your project context and the questions that matter to your team.
YOUR SOURCING SITUATION
Give us the context behind the inquiry.
Starting something new
A new brand, a first collection, or a new product line. Tell us what is already defined and where you need guidance.
Finding or changing a supplier
Explain your current requirements and the differences you are looking for. Share only information you are authorized to disclose.
Adding sourcing capacity
Describe the product range, intended quantities, and the role of an additional or backup manufacturing partner.
A USEFUL FIRST BRIEF
What to include in your message.
You do not need every detail to begin. Label anything you have not decided yet.
| Product categories | T-shirts, hoodies, tracksuits, pajamas and loungewear, polos, joggers, or sportswear. If the project covers more than one category, list each one. |
|---|---|
| Your sourcing situation | New brand or collection, sourcing a manufacturer, changing suppliers, adding a backup supplier, developing a new range, or a repeat project. |
| Estimated quantity | Share your target quantity per style. Useful planning bands are 100-199, 200-299, 300-499, 500-999, and 1,000+ units. These are inquiry bands, not a confirmed KC MOQ. Actual minimums depend on the reviewed project. |
| Materials, fit, and artwork | Describe your preferences or the questions still open. A non-confidential reference can help explain the direction. |
| Timing and market | Include the destination market and your target delivery window if known. A requested date is not a confirmed lead time. |
| NDA requirement | Tell us if you need a confidentiality agreement before sharing technical or commercial information. Requesting an NDA does not mean one has been agreed or signed. |
Material and production decisions
Tell us what the material needs to do
Keep the first message simple: product and use, essential functions, optional preferences and any required assessment or reference.
Possible requirements include cooling touch, moisture management, quick drying, one-way moisture transport, UV protection, warmth, temperature regulation, antibacterial, anti-mite, antistatic or stain resistance. No function is selected by default, and a request does not imply an approved supply option.
Prepare an optional material brief for email
This tool prepares an email draft in your browser. It does not submit an online inquiry or upload files. Review the draft in your email app before sending.

FILES AND CONFIDENTIALITY
Agree on the sharing route first.
If your tech pack, artwork, or supplier information is confidential, mention that in the first email without attaching the sensitive material.
Ask about NDA arrangements and an appropriate file-sharing method before sending it. There is currently no active upload facility on this page.
Only share files that you own or are authorized to provide. Do not send payment credentials or identity documents with an initial project inquiry.
BEFORE YOU CONTACT US
A few practical questions.
Can I make an inquiry without a finished tech pack?
Yes. Start with the product category, intended use, estimated quantity if known, and the questions you need to resolve. Clearly identify any details that are still undecided.
Does selecting 100 units mean that KC accepts every 100-unit order?
No. The quantity bands help describe your target. Minimum quantities, materials, color requirements, and feasibility need project-specific confirmation.
Can I discuss several product categories together?
Yes. List each category and, where possible, give a target quantity per style rather than only a combined order total.
Can I request an NDA before sharing files?
Yes. Mention the requirement in your first message. Wait until the relevant terms are agreed before sharing confidential information; an inquiry is not itself an executed NDA.
Can I ask about samples or fabric swatches?
Include the product or material direction and what you need to evaluate. Availability, scope, cost, and timing require confirmation before any sample commitment.
