How to choose
For supermarket and volume retail, combed cotton at 160–180 g/m² is the sweet spot between landed cost and perceived quality. If your customer wants a cooler, faster-drying brief, specify a cotton/elastane blend with a moisture-wicking finish. On private-label programmes, the printed waistband logo and the woven label are the two details buyers notice first.
Men's Underwear — Cool-Touch Knit (Ref. UT-M0108) is offered as an OEM and private-label programme through our partner factories in the Xiamen–Quanzhou–Jinjiang knitwear cluster of Fujian Province, south-east China, which hold BSCI social-compliance audits and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification. Xiamen Unitex Trade Co., Ltd. manages fabric sourcing, sampling, quality control and export documentation.

Style notes from the sample
The sample shown is a fitted boxer brief on a dark heather-grey knit base, carrying an all-over multicolour text print (“SOVIET” lettering in green, orange and white) that stays crisp right into the pouch and leg panels. The waistband is a dark jacquard elastic with a white UNITEX wordmark centred at the front and a teal stripe along the upper edge — the stripe echoes the print colours, which is the kind of coordinated detail we build into private-label programmes. Centre-front pouch seams are clean and even.
The cool-touch claim in the title refers to the knit’s smooth, cool handfeel on the sample; final fabric composition follows your tech pack, and the print artwork, base colour and band logo are all yours to set.

Customisation: packaging and what it does to landed cost
Packaging is the variable that moves logistics cost most and gets reviewed last. A piece in a plain PE bag is not the same shipment as one in a carton, a plastic case, a tin or a gift box: unit cost changes, carton volume changes, and so does how many pieces fit a container.
That is why it should be settled before the order is confirmed, not after. We work from the simplest format up to display and gift packaging, and in every case we calculate export carton volume against the chosen format so the quote reflects real freight rather than an estimate.
