1. Check product specialization
A good OEM partner should match your product type: football kits, training wear, gym wear, leggings, tracksuits, jackets, or private-label collections.
2. Confirm branding capability
OEM orders often need neck labels, woven labels, hang tags, barcode stickers, packaging, and carton marks. Confirm all branding details before bulk production.
3. Review export communication
Good communication around invoices, packing lists, shipping marks, Incoterms, and delivery schedules prevents last-minute logistics issues.
