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 Basic Boxer Shorts — Cotton — catalogue reference UT-MA001E. Cloth, sizing and packing below come from the sample we already run for this article.
We do not manufacture — we manage. Unitex, based in Xiamen, Fujian Province, develops the sample, assigns the order to an audited partner workshop in the Xiamen–Quanzhou–Jinjiang cluster, and carries the specification, the quality plan and the delivery commitment. Keeping trade and production separate is what lets us match the workshop to the garment.
Fabric and construction
Loose through the thigh, this boxer short hangs straight instead of gripping the leg — the silhouette a market reaches for when boxers share a fixture with briefs and trunks. Pale sage covers the whole garment, and the band is the one place the colour stops: near-black, with a single fine silver-sage line set below its top edge and no wordmark woven into it. That plain band is the commercial argument — one band, several body shades, no logo to date the garment. Body in 95% cotton 5% spandex, hemmed legs, cut for a straight fall from hip to hem.

Buyer questions on this style
What fabric does UT-MA001E use? 95% cotton 5% spandex fully stretching single jersey; other fabric compositions available to your specification.
Which sizes are available on UT-MA001E? S-2XL or as customer’s size specification.
What is the MOQ for UT-MA001E, and can I start smaller? 3,000 pcs per style and colour; 1,000 pc trials negotiable.

How long do sampling and bulk take on UT-MA001E? Sampling 7–10 days; bulk 45–60 days, FOB Xiamen.
Does this band accept a woven logo, or is it only available plain? The band on the sample is plain, deliberately, so one band can serve several brands in a range. The same width takes a jacquard wordmark or a printed repeat if you want one; leaving it plain keeps the colour as the only statement and lets branding move to the inside label.
Can the same pattern be cut as a shorter trunk? Yes. The leg is graded from the same block, so shortening it to trunk length leaves the rise and the seat where they are and only moves the hem up the thigh. Order both lengths as a pair of samples — the band width and the size grading stay as specified.
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.
