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 Boxer Briefs — Cotton, Breathable — catalogue reference UT-M1CE7E. 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
Solid colour hides nothing. On a flat slate-blue trunk the seam run, the stitch density at the pouch and the waistband join are all on display, so the workshop has nowhere to bury a lazy seam. The cloth is a 170gsm cotton-spandex single jersey with a matte face, no polyester sheen, which is what basics buyers in the UK and Northern Europe keep asking for. The waistband is the quiet part: a dark slate band carrying a tonal repeat set so low in contrast it barely reads on screen and only appears in the hand. Mid-thigh leg, no front opening. Quoted at 75g per unit, and best placed in spring and summer basics programmes.

Buyer questions on this style
What fabric does UT-M1CE7E use? 95% cotton 5% spandex 170gsm single jersey; other fabric compositions available to your specification.
Which sizes are available on UT-M1CE7E? S-2XL or sizes available as customer request.
What is the MOQ for UT-M1CE7E, 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-M1CE7E? Sampling 7–10 days; bulk 45–60 days, FOB Xiamen.
What colour and print options are available on UT-M1CE7E? Solid color or as the client’s requirements.
Can the waistband repeat on this trunk be lifted to a contrast colour? Yes. The band is a jacquard, so the repeat is a yarn decision rather than a print one: it can sit tone-on-tone exactly as shown, or be lifted to a contrast yarn when the brand has to read at a distance. Band width is a separate choice and is set at sampling, from 20 mm up to a 60 mm wide head.
What GSM is this cotton, and can it be changed? The sample runs 170gsm in a 95% cotton 5% spandex single jersey. A lighter or heavier weight can be developed to your specification, and it will move the 75g unit weight that appears in the export data, so the GSM is fixed on the lab dip and the first strike-off rather than on the quote alone.
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.
