Festival Apparel Shipping from China to Switzerland: Real Sourcing Case

In this sourcing vlog, Daniel shares a real case of festival apparel shipping from China to Switzerland for a European client.

Festival and event apparel usually involves tight timelines, multiple SKUs, and strict quality expectations. Without proper sourcing and logistics planning, delays or quality issues can easily affect sales and event schedules.

This blog breaks down the sourcing and shipping process based on real experience.

Why Festival Apparel Sourcing from China Needs Careful Planning

Festival apparel is different from regular clothing orders because it often requires:

• Custom designs and logos

• Short production lead times

• Accurate size grading

• Reliable packaging for international shipping

Many overseas buyers face problems such as:

• Inconsistent fabric quality

• Delays during peak production seasons

• Miscommunication with garment factories

• Customs or delivery delays in Europe

That’s why working with a professional China sourcing agent for apparel is especially important.

How We Sourced the Right Apparel Factory in China

For this project, our sourcing process included:

• Confirming design details, sizing, and materials

• Selecting experienced festival apparel manufacturers in China

• Reviewing samples before bulk production

• Negotiating pricing, MOQ, and production schedules

• Coordinating factory timelines with shipping deadlines

By managing the process closely, we ensured the apparel met the client’s expectations and event schedule.

Quality Control Before Shipping Festival Apparel

Before shipment, we carried out:

• Fabric and stitching inspection

• Size measurement checks

• Logo and print verification

• Packaging and quantity checks

Quality control is essential for apparel orders, especially when shipping to European markets like Switzerland, where quality standards are high.

Common Mistakes in Apparel Shipping to Europe

Many buyers make mistakes such as:

• Underestimating production time

• Not preparing proper export documents

These issues often cause delays and extra costs.

A reliable China sourcing and shipping agent helps prevent these problems.
