Custom magnetic bra clips need a clear design specification before a supplier can confirm the MOQ, tooling requirements and production timeline. The answer changes with the housing, mounting method, finish, tooling and quantity. This guide helps apparel brands prepare a quotation request without relying on generic numbers.
Start with Richarms bra closure components and identify whether an existing design can meet the garment's requirements.

Planning custom magnetic bra clips
Provide the closure position, maximum dimensions, fabric thickness and mounting arrangement. Describe whether the user separates, slides or releases a mechanical feature to open it. If one-handed use is a requirement, make that part of sample evaluation rather than assuming magnets guarantee it.
Unser magnetic clip selection guide covers the relationship between the clasp and the finished garment. Where the design combines magnetic alignment and mechanical retention, request instructions for the actual release mechanism.
Explain the intended application
An everyday bra, a nursing garment and an adaptive prototype have different use conditions. Specify the intended wearer, expected movement and care method without claiming that one clasp is suitable for all those applications.
For products intended for recovery after surgery, garment selection and pressure requirements need appropriate clinical guidance. Read the recovery garment closure considerations before using medical language in a sourcing brief.
Ask what determines the MOQ
Separate an existing stock component from a custom finish, logo or newly tooled design. Ask whether the quoted quantity is per model, color, size or complete set. Also confirm which matching parts are included.
- Is a stock specification available for initial sampling?
- Does a custom finish require a separate production batch?
- Does a new housing require tooling and sample approval?
- How are spare or replacement components supplied?
There is no verified universal Richarms MOQ for every custom bra closure. The quotation should state the applicable quantity and conditions for the requested design.
Break the timeline into stages
Request separate estimates for design review, tooling if required, sample preparation, approval, production and shipment. State your required delivery date and allow time to test the complete garment. A sample lead time should not be presented as the total time to receive a production order.
Document who approves the drawing, finish and garment sample. Revisions after approval can affect timing, so confirm changes before placing the order.
Agree on evidence and acceptance criteria
Ask for dimensions, mounting instructions and available test information for the exact model. Define the required opening action, retention performance, appearance and care conditions. Confirm destination-market requirements with appropriate specialists; do not infer compliance from a finish name or an unrelated report.
