Product Overview

What This Block Is And Why It Exists

The shortest of the leg blocks and the highest volume one. A trunk has a shorter inseam than a boxer brief, which is why it is the default for retail multipacks and supermarket programmes.

A fly opening is a construction choice rather than a trim. It changes the front panel pattern and adds an operation, so it has to be decided before sampling rather than added later.

This block is where the waistband does all the branding work, since the garment itself is deliberately plain.

Key Benefits

  • Lowest cost per piece of the mens blocks at volume.
  • Fly opening built into the front panel pattern, not added on.
  • Works in cotton, modal, bamboo, nylon or polyester on the same size set.
  • Designed for multipack packaging from the start.

Application Scenarios

Where This Block Is Used

  • Supermarket and discount multipacks
  • Retail chain basics programmes
  • Hotel, uniform and institutional supply
  • Entry price tier of a branded range

Who It Is For

  • Buyers whose customers repurchase on price and fit rather than on graphics.
  • Retailers running two or three packs on a hanger card.
  • Brands needing a basic tier under a print hero.
  • Anyone who needs a stable block they can re-cut every season.

Problems It Solves

  • Basics get quoted on fabric weight alone, and then the recovery fails after ten washes.
  • A fly requested after sampling resets the pattern and the timeline.
  • Multipack programmes stall on card and hanger specifications rather than the garment.
  • Plain styles have nowhere to carry brand identity except the waistband.

Materials

Fabric Platform

All blocks run on the same fabric platform, which is what lets a mixed range share one lab dip round and one colour card. Colour is approved on physical lab dips, fabric swatches and print strike offs.

Fabric colour card with Pantone references

Colour card and Pantone references used at lab dip approval.

95% cotton / 5% spandexThe default for briefs, trunks and boxer briefs. Soft hand feel, good recovery, easy to print and dye.
95% modal / 5% spandexCooler and more fluid than cotton. Popular for womens panties and premium mens ranges.
95% bamboo / 5% spandexMarketed as a sustainable option with a very smooth surface and good moisture handling.
90% nylon / 10% spandexHigher stretch and recovery. Used for seamless bonded styles and sport ranges.
95% polyester / 5% spandexThe base for sublimation printing, which needs a polyester rich surface to hold the ink.
Merino wool blendsAvailable for bra and base layer programmes where thermal performance is required.

Questions

Product FAQ

Can I have a trunk without a fly?
Yes. It is a different front panel pattern, so state it in the tech pack rather than at sampling.
What is the difference between a trunk and a boxer brief?
Inseam length. A trunk has a short leg, a boxer brief has a mid or long leg. Everything else on the block can be identical.
Which fabric is best for a multipack?
95% cotton / 5% spandex is the standard. Modal and bamboo blends sit above it on price and hand feel.
Can you do the hanger card and packaging?
Yes - printed paper box, paper card with hanger hook, polybag, header card or multi pack sleeve, to your retailer specification.
What is the minimum quantity?
300 pcs per style per colour, with 100 to 200 pcs possible on selected running blocks.
