Plush fabric buyer guide
Ready Stock vs Made-to-Order Plush Fabric
Direct answer
What the buyer needs to know
Choose ready stock when an available full-roll colour and confirmed specification can meet the programme. Choose made to order when colour, pile, weight, width, composition, structure or finish needs development. Bingyu confirms ready-stock MOQ and dispatch timing in the written quotation; the custom route uses a 10-roll MOQ for the confirmed construction and colour.
- Ready stock still requires current colour and quantity confirmation.
- Made to order supports a defined construction, physical reference or Pantone direction.
- Samples are paid and courier freight is paid by the buyer.
- Neither route removes the need for a written quotation and physical approval.
Compare the two supply routes
The supply-route decision is separate from the fabric-family decision. The same construction may be reviewed against current stock or developed around a specified colour and material brief.
| Decision field | Ready stock | Made to order |
|---|---|---|
| Best starting point | An available colour and published specification | A physical reference, Pantone colour or technical brief |
| Order unit | Full-roll commercial orders | Rolls for the confirmed programme |
| MOQ | Confirmed with quotation | 10 rolls per confirmed construction and colour |
| Colour | Current availability confirmed on enquiry | Pantone direction supported |
| Sampling | Paid sample or shade card; buyer covers courier | Sample fee applies; buyer covers courier |
| Timing | Dispatch confirmed with quotation | 15–20 days to Dongguan fulfilment before dispatch |
| Approval | Physical shade or sample | Approved developed physical sample |
Use ready stock when the available reference fits
Ready stock can reduce the material-development stage, but it should not be treated as an anonymous immediate-shipping promise. Confirm the exact specification, colour reference, current quantity, MOQ, packing and dispatch timing in the quotation.
Bingyu reviews ready-stock availability weekly. Online colour-level records are published only when verified; otherwise request the current colour file and physical reference.
Use made to order when the requirement must be defined
Made to order is appropriate when the required colour is unavailable or when pile, hand feel, structure, weight, width, composition or finish must be reviewed around a submitted reference.
The scope should be explicit before sampling begins. Any testing or certification requirement must also be raised during enquiry so feasibility, responsibility and cost can be confirmed for the project.
Make the route decision with six questions
A short decision record avoids changing route midway through quotation or sampling.
- Is there a published specification that matches the physical requirement?
- Can a current stock colour meet the approved colour direction?
- Does the quantity fit the quoted commercial unit and MOQ?
- Must any construction or finish field be changed?
- What physical sample or shade card will govern approval?
- Which trade term, port and forwarding arrangement should be quoted?
