Quick Answer: compare knit fabric suppliers on three separate lead times — lab dip, sample and bulk — and on what each one includes, not on a single headline figure. Then score each supplier on capacity for your construction, MOQ, pilot runs, repeat-order timing, customization and shipping, and ask for documents that support each answer. Treat published ranges as a guide and rely only on dates written into a confirmed order.
| 交期 | What it includes | Clock starts | Clock stops | Runtang published range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stock sample | Cutting and sending an existing fabric sample | Sample request | Dispatch | Sample format and dispatch timing confirmed for the requested fabric |
| Lab dip (custom dye) | Dye recipe development and colour submission on the target fabric | Colour standard received; fabric and light source confirmed | Lab dip submitted | 3–5 个工作日 |
| PP sample | Knitting, dyeing and finishing a pre-production sample to the approved colour and spec | Lab dip approval | PP sample submitted | Timing and any resubmission rounds confirmed for the project |
| 大货 | Yarn, knitting, dyeing, finishing, inspection and packing of the order quantity | Written order and required sample and colour approvals confirmed | Goods ready for shipment | 15-25天 |
See Runtang Textile's ordering guide and lab dip process for the published terms and their conditions. Confirm the dates and requirements for your specific order in writing.
The full sampling stage, from first colour submission to PP sample approval, depends on the fabric, finishing and revision rounds. Confirm its schedule for the project; our interlock sourcing guide outlines the stages to discuss. Shipping transit is separate from all of the above.
| Aspect | Typical published range | Confirmed commitment |
|---|---|---|
| Where it appears | Product pages, guides, first quotes | Signed order or proforma invoice |
| When it is given | Before sampling | After lab dip and PP sample approval |
| What it assumes | A standard construction, colour and volume | Your fixed construction, colour, finish and quantity |
| How to use it | Shortlist suppliers and plan the season | Book production and shipping |
Runtang's own guides state that its lead times are typical reference ranges to be reconfirmed after lab dip or PP sample approval.
Fill in one column per supplier using the evidence column, not verbal answers.
| Criterion | Question to ask | Evidence to request | Runtang published position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | Can you knit and dye my construction in my volume and window? | Machine types and gauges for the construction, dyeing route, current loading for the delivery window | Own factory with 400+ textile machines per our homepage; capacity for your fabric is confirmed per enquiry |
| 起订量 | What is the minimum per order and per colour? | MOQ in writing for stock, custom colour and custom development | Stock from 1 roll (~23 kg) per colour; custom colours from 200 kg per colour; new fabric development from 1,000 kg of greige fabric in up to five colours, with at least 200 kg per colour |
| Pilot runs | Can a small trial lot be produced before full bulk? | Trial lot quantity, price and timing in the quote | PP sample stage before bulk; trial lot quantities agreed per order |
| Repeat-order timing | How fast can a reorder ship, and is the recipe retained? | Recipe record reference and reorder lead time in writing | Reorder timing confirmed per order; our guide lists the records to confirm before a reorder (dye ratios, auxiliary products, process curve), see recipe and reorder control |
| Customization | Which parameters can be changed? | Feasibility notes on GSM, width, fibre blend, colour and finish | Custom development for jersey, rib, fleece, interlock and other knits; see custom knit fabric development |
| Shipping | Which terms, ports and documents? | Incoterm, port of loading, packing list and test reports | Supplies apparel brands in Europe, North America and Australia; terms agreed per order |

To get Runtang's dates for your fabric, send us your construction, GSM, colours, quantity per colour and target delivery. You can also review the knit fabric sample approval checklist to plan the sampling stage.
Ask every supplier for the same three figures stated separately: lab dip, sample (or PP sample) and bulk, plus the event that starts each clock. A single 'lead time' figure hides whether sampling, dyeing or finishing is included. Compare like for like on the same construction, colour and volume, and ask how many revision rounds the quote assumes.
Ask for the machine types and gauges that can knit your construction, the dyeing route for your colour, current order loading for your delivery window, and production records from recent orders of a similar fabric and volume. A factory-wide output figure says little about capacity for your specific fabric.
No. Published lead times are typical ranges. The commitment is the delivery date written into your confirmed order after lab dip and PP sample approval, once construction, colour, finishing and quantity are fixed.
Runtang Textile's ordering guide lists lab dips at 3–5 working days and bulk production at 15–25 days. The lab dip clock starts after receipt of the colour standard and confirmation of the fabric and light source. Stock fabric starts from 1 roll (~23 kg) per colour, and custom colours from 200 kg per colour. New fabric development starts from 1,000 kg of greige fabric in up to five colours, with at least 200 kg per colour. Confirm sample format, PP sample timing and the delivery schedule for the specific project; shipping time is additional.
