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 Shorts — Cotton, Reactive Print, Jacquard Elastic — catalogue reference UT-MC4F46. Cloth, sizing and packing below come from the sample we already run for this article.
Unitex operates as a supply-chain manager rather than a factory. Based in Xiamen, Fujian Province, we develop the sample in-house, place production with audited partner workshops across the Xiamen–Quanzhou–Jinjiang knitwear corridor, and stay accountable for specification, inspection and shipment dates. We do not run our own production facility.
Fabric and construction
Turquoise is laid edge to edge in a dense half-moon repeat, the pale scales packed so tightly that from standing height the surface is one shimmering field and only up close do the rows separate, all of it capped by a mint jacquard band with dark woven capitals. Reactive print at 180 gsm, the heaviest single jersey in this run, which is why the scale repeat stays flat instead of grinning through at the seat seam. Short-leg trunk, contour pouch, tonal stitching. The light band on a darker body is a deliberate reverse block: it lifts the waist and stops the piece reading as one flat colour on shelf. Suits cold-climate winter programmes, or a premium basics line where fabric weight is the argument.

Why is this style 180 GSM when other prints in the range sit at 175? The half-moon repeat is dense and runs close to the edge of the cloth, so a slightly heavier jersey keeps the rows flat and stops the pattern grinning through where the seat seam pulls. 180 GSM also gives the piece more body for cold-climate retail. If your market is warm, the same print runs on a lighter jersey from the same family — the artwork does not change, only the knitting programme.
Can the band be matched to the body instead of contrasting? The mint band on a turquoise body is how the sample is built, but the two are independent: the jacquard band ground is dyed to its own recipe. We can pull the band to the body for a tonal look, hold the contrast as shown, or take the band to a third colour from your palette. The band is the long-lead item, so that decision belongs in the first sample round.
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.
