What Is Cationic Polyester? An Activewear Buyer’s Guide
Learn what cationic polyester is, how cationic dyeable polyester differs from regular PET, and which fabric, colorfastness, testing and sampling details activewear buyers should confirm.
PERFORMANCE INTIMATES DEVELOPMENT
This page is scoped to performance-led intimates development. DTS public site evidence currently covers custom activewear and sports bra development, designer consultation, sampling, production, and quality-control review.
Scope check: Confirm whether panties, lace lingerie, shapewear, slips, sleepwear, underwire, cups, and other intimate-apparel constructions are supported. Confirm MOQ, lead time, testing, and market requirements for the exact product.

Concept visual only. Use approved product or sample-room media for project-specific proof.
VERIFIED SCOPE
The current public site presents a development path for custom activewear and sports bras, from designer consultation and tech-pack review through sampling, bulk production, packing, and quality-control review.
Selected programs may start from 50 pieces, but exact MOQ depends on fabric, color, size breakdown, decoration, and custom trims and must be confirmed in a quotation.

Sampling and Prototyping

Use approved activewear or sample-room media here. Do not treat the image as proof of unconfirmed lingerie categories.
BUSINESS CONFIRMATION GATE
Use this checklist to prepare the product brief. Confirm product and commercial details for the exact style before requesting a quotation.
DEVELOPMENT PATH
Share a moodboard, sketch, reference garment, tech pack, logo, target quantity, destination, and launch timing.
Confirm silhouette, fabric direction, stretch and recovery, coverage, trims, decoration, labels, and packaging.
Use sampling to review fit, fabric, construction, branding, and comments before bulk approval.
Confirm the approved sample, measurements, artwork, materials, packing, inspection points, and reorder notes.

TECHNICAL REVIEW
Performance intimates can be sensitive to stretch, recovery, coverage, support, seam placement, elastic tension, lining, and size grading. Add these requirements to the tech pack or send them with your references so the quotation and sample review are based on the same product brief.
SAMPLE APPROVAL
A physical sample helps the buyer review fit, fabric, construction, decoration, logo placement, trims, and packaging details before a bulk commitment. Send clear revision comments and keep the approved standard connected to the production file.
Exact sample cost, revision count, and timing require quotation confirmation for the specific product brief.



PRODUCTION AND QUALITY CONTROL
The existing DTS production path presents production-file review, materials and trims, cutting and sewing, decoration and finishing, final inspection, and packing. The quality-control page presents checks for measurements, fabric, trims, artwork, labels, and packing after order requirements are confirmed.
Do not treat a general supplier assessment or EU authorized-representative document as product-specific testing. Confirm the required documents and inspection criteria for the exact intimate-apparel product and destination market.

FAQ
Send your moodboard, technical pack, reference garment, logo files, target quantity, destination market, and desired launch timing. DTS can first confirm whether the project fits the current activewear and performance-intimates development scope, then recommend consultation, sampling, or quotation as the next step.
