Swimwear manufacturing FAQ

Swimwear.mx has a minimum order quantity of 300 units per style. This MOQ applies to private label swimwear, custom cut and sew swimwear, white label swimwear, and most product categories including bikinis, one-pieces, trunks, kids swimwear, rash guards, and activewear.

Pricing starts at $12 per unit for basic styles, with most orders falling between $12 and $30 per unit depending on fabric (standard nylon-spandex vs. recycled fabrics like REPREVE or ECONYL), design complexity (number of components, printing, custom hardware), and order volume. Exact per-unit pricing is provided with your quote.
