Use this sleepwear order quantity planner to turn your collection into style, color and size allocations. Count sales units consistently and check each style-and-color subtotal before comparing the overall total. One complete two-piece pajama set counts as one sales unit.
Use the worked example below or download the editable order quantity matrix. The matrix records your plan for review; quantities alone do not determine a price or a production date.
For Jinshi orders, one individual garment is one sales unit, and one complete two-piece pajama set is also one sales unit. A planned quantity of 30 complete sets means 30 units, containing 60 individual garments.
Keep different product styles separate. A baby sleeper, a child's set and an adult's set in one family collection are separate styles even when the print matches. For gift packs or another multi-item product, agree what is included in one sales unit before using the quantity matrix.
For bulk orders using standard fabric qualities, the starting quantity is 30 units per style per color, with mixed sizes allowed. A sample starts from 1 unit per style per color. There is no required fixed size ratio.
“Standard fabric” includes an established quality made in your selected custom color or print. Entirely new material specifications, specialist processes and other supply routes require a separate review of the applicable minimum. Read the complete MOQ rules.
The bulk check adds the sizes within the same style and color. It does not combine different colors, and it does not apply a 30-unit minimum to every size row.
| Field | What to record |
|---|---|
| Style | A unique style code or clearly agreed reference |
| Color | The color or separately approved print version for this order group |
| Size | The actual size designation for this style |
| Units | Whole sales units allocated to that size |
| Unit type | Individual garment, complete two-piece set or another agreed unit |
| Supply route | Standard-fabric made-to-order, custom material development or another identified route |
Leave an undecided quantity blank in the editable template and explain that it needs advice. Use zero only when you mean no units in that planned size. Keep duplicate style/color/size rows out of the final allocation so the same SKU is not unintentionally counted twice.
This example contains two styles, each in three colors. Each style has four size options. The allocation is an illustration, not a recommended sales forecast.
| Style | Color | Size allocation | Sales units |
|---|---|---|---|
| A: one-piece sleeper | Sky | 0–3m: 6; 3–6m: 9; 6–12m: 9; 12–18m: 6 | 30 |
| A: one-piece sleeper | Sage | 0–3m: 6; 3–6m: 9; 6–12m: 9; 12–18m: 6 | 30 |
| A: one-piece sleeper | Rose | 0–3m: 6; 3–6m: 9; 6–12m: 9; 12–18m: 6 | 30 |
| B: two-piece pajama set | Sky | 2T: 6; 3T: 9; 4T: 9; 5T: 6 | 30 |
| B: two-piece pajama set | Sage | 2T: 6; 3T: 9; 4T: 9; 5T: 6 | 30 |
| B: two-piece pajama set | Rose | 2T: 6; 3T: 9; 4T: 9; 5T: 6 | 30 |
The plan contains 6 style/color combinations, 24 size-level SKUs and 180 sales units. Because one style is a complete two-piece set, it contains 270 individual garments: 90 sleepers plus 90 tops and 90 pants.
Each style/color subtotal meets the standard-fabric 30-unit starting quantity. The example does not establish that its fabrics, sizing or market requirements have been approved.
If the six Rose sets in size 2T are changed to zero, the plan still lists 24 possible SKUs, but only 23 SKUs have units ordered. The Rose set subtotal becomes 24 units, and the overall total becomes 174 units.
That style/color group is six units below the standard-fabric starting quantity. You can consider reallocating six units to other sizes within the same group, removing that color from the active plan or discussing a different supply route. Adding six units to another color would increase the order total without resolving the Rose group's shortfall.
Keep the decision visible instead of allowing an overall quantity to hide the individual group issue.
Compare the number of colors with the depth available in each size. Use your own demand evidence, launch channel and replenishment plan to select the size curve. A broad range with very few units in each SKU can create a different stock-management challenge from a smaller range with deeper quantities.
Record the planned style/color combinations, size-level quantities, total sales units and any groups needing a minimum review. Attach the material direction, product references and target market so the quantities can be evaluated with the actual development scope.
