Ordering Mixed Garment Sizes Without Losing Quantity Control

A quoted total quantity can quickly become confusing when it includes multiple garment styles, colours and size ranges. DSS handles product selection, artwork, proof approval and production online, then ships completed orders Australia-wide.

What affects the result

Suppliers need a clear line-by-line breakdown to confirm stock, decoration and totals. The overall number alone is not enough.

Decisions to make before approval

• List each garment style separately

• Separate colours before sizes

• Check that line totals equal the quoted quantity

• Identify special fits or youth garments

• Freeze changes after final proof and payment

Use one dated master order table and nominate one approver. DSS can check the arithmetic and convert the list into production instructions.

A mistake worth avoiding

Sending size changes across multiple messages creates version-control errors and can delay production.

How to approach the order

Use one dated master order table and nominate one approver. DSS can check the arithmetic and convert the list into production instructions. The specification should be agreed before payment and production, with changes recorded in one approved proof or order summary.

Information DSS needs

• The exact product or garment being considered.

• The total quantity and complete size or colour breakdown.

• Vector artwork where available, or the best existing logo file.

• Every decoration position and the preferred finished look.

• Delivery postcode and required date.

• List each garment style separately

Frequently asked questions

Is there one option that suits every business?

No. The right product depends on the audience, use, quantity, artwork, budget and deadline. A practical recommendation needs the whole brief.

Can DSS coordinate everything online?

Yes. The brief, quote, artwork review, proof approval and production communication can be managed online, with delivery across Australia.

Should a sample be ordered?

A sample is especially useful for a new fit, fabric, construction, colour or complex custom product. For a familiar stock item, supplier information and a clear proof may be enough.

Start with a clear brief

Send DSS the product idea, quantities, artwork, delivery location and deadline. The job can then be matched to a sensible production method without unnecessary complexity.
