Frequently asked questions
Is Highlife a factory or a sourcing agency?
Highlife is a sourcing agency which means we do not own any factories but instead build relationships with trusted and vetted factories providing a range of different services.
This means we are not tied to any particular factory but will always use the best factory for the client’s needs.
Where are your factories located?
Most factories in our network are based in southern China with some located in Indonesia and in India. These areas have a well-developed supply chain infrastructure and has good communication links for transportation. In addition, our China office is located in Shun De, Guangdong, which means that our team can easily visit the factories for checks and to maintain relationships.
How are your factories vetted?
Our due diligence checks include a physical visit to the factory by our Mandarin speaking team as well as an audit of the facility’s organisational structure, human resource management, factory resources, performance, environmental responsibility practices and financial position.
Highlife continually checks and can provide documentation that our factories do not use child or forced labour. Employees must have the Freedom of Association, the Right to Collective Bargaining, access to adequate Compensations and be exempt from discrimination on any basis, harsh disciplinary practices, and unreasonable working hours. Above all else, it is imperative that manufacturers provide a safe and healthy working environment for all employees.
Do you organise international shipping?
Yes we organise international shipping through our Highlife Freight Division which specialises in shipping, whether by road, rail, sea or air.
Highlife Freight also provides a standalone shipping service for other factories and brands and we are renowned for our efficiency, favourable costs and on-time delivery.
Is our order too small for China production?
We can accept very low quantity garment orders but of course the cost will be higher per piece than for large orders. This is simply because admin, production and shipping costs are split over fewer items. However, the cost is often still competitive.
Can you help with the design?
Yes we can help with design. Firstly, we have produced so many garments that we probably have a pattern that is a close match for your design which can then be customised for your specifications. Alternatively, our pattern makers can work from a sample or your sketches to create patterns and samples for your design.
We can also help brands create brand artwork, labels, hang tags and packaging.
What is your procedure for quality control?
We take pride in our work and your satisfaction is a top priority for us so we have procedures in place to minimise errors and ensure that you are delighted with your delivery.
Those procedures include the vetting we do of our factories, the pre-production checks and sign offs as well as the checks that are done during production and finally, the checks done by our own in-house QC team before shipping. This allows us to boast 99% satisfaction levels with our orders.
