What we do
Private Label Clothing Manufacturer
Your brand on every garment — labels, tags and packaging produced with the order.
Private label is more than a neck label. We build a complete brand kit for your order: main labels, care labels, size stickers, hang tags, poly bags and cartons — all produced alongside the garments.
Labels, tags and trims
Woven and printed labels typically start at 500–1,000 pieces per design and hang tags at 500 pieces, each ready in about 5–7 days. Woven and printed labels, hang tags and size stickers are made to your artwork. Trims are small, but buyers notice them — send your logo and brand colours and we return trim mock-ups for approval before anything is produced.
Packaging that arrives shelf-ready
Custom printed poly bags typically start at 1,000 pieces and take 7–12 days; printed cartons start at 100–300 pieces, depending on size and print, and take 7–10 days. Branded poly bags and printed cartons are ordered with the garments, so everything lands on the line at the same time. Labels and tags are attached during sewing and finishing, not as an afterthought — no separate trim supplier, no relabelling step on your side.
From your design to a finished garment under your label
Private label here means the whole garment, not only the label: we make your design in our factory and it ships with your brand on it. A first order runs like this.
Send a tech pack or a reference sample
Share a tech pack, a sketch or a garment you want to match, with the quantity per style and colour. We reply within 5 hours with fabric options, a sample plan and a bulk estimate.
Pattern and sample
Our pattern makers draft and grade the pattern to your size chart, and the sample room sews a first sample in 8–15 days. You approve fit, fabric and details before bulk starts.
Bulk production
The minimum is 50 pieces per style and colour, with sizes mixed within those 50 (knitwear from 100, activewear from 500). Bulk takes 24–30 days after sample approval, with in-line QC and a final inspection to AQL 2.5.
Your brand on every piece
Neck labels, care labels, hang tags and packaging are made to your artwork and applied on the line, so the goods arrive ready to sell. Printing and embroidery are done by partner workshops that we audit.
Shipping
We ship by DHL, FedEx, UPS or sea freight, on EXW, FOB or DDP terms.
Build a private-label system, not a bag of trims
Labels, tags, stickers and packaging carry different information at different moments. Planning them as one system keeps the brand consistent and prevents duplicate, missing or conflicting product data.
Main, size and care labels
The main label establishes brand identity, while size and care labels communicate product-specific information. They may be combined or separated depending on design, comfort and market requirements. We confirm finished dimensions, fold type, colours, material, attachment seam and placement so the label works with the garment construction rather than being added after it is complete.
Hang tags and retail information
Hang tags can carry story, price, barcode and product details that do not belong on a permanent sewn label. Artwork should define both sides, hole position, stock, finish, cord and attachment point. Variable data such as SKU, size or price is separated from common artwork so it can be controlled by style and market.
Packaging and carton hierarchy
The individual garment bag protects presentation and carries size or SKU identification. Inner packs and export cartons organise the order for receiving. We map which information belongs at each level, then align stickers, quantities, carton marks and packing lists so the warehouse can identify the product without opening every package.
Prepare accurate label artwork and data
Brand artwork is only one part of label approval. Fibre content, country of origin, care, responsible company information, size and traceability data must match the product and sales market.
Use production-ready files
Vector AI, EPS or PDF files give clean edges and reliable colour separation for woven, printed and embossed components. Include Pantone references, dimensions and safe areas. We return a digital mock-up showing scale, folds and placement before producing a physical sample, and any variable fields are marked so they cannot be mistaken for fixed artwork.
Confirm legal copy by destination
Labelling rules vary by country and product. The brand or importer remains responsible for confirming required fibre names, language, care, origin and business identity. Tell us every intended market before artwork approval so the label format has room for the right information and translations rather than forcing a redesign after bulk materials are ordered.
Create one source of product data
Style number, colour, size, composition, barcode and carton quantity should come from one approved data sheet. We use it to generate or check variable stickers and packing marks. When data changes, the revision is dated and released across labels, packaging and the packing list together.
Choose materials and finishes that suit the garment
A premium trim is one that remains legible, comfortable and consistent through the product life—not simply the most elaborate option. Material, edge treatment and attachment must suit skin contact and care conditions.
Woven or printed labels
Woven labels give durable colour and texture for main branding, while printed satin, nylon or cotton can hold dense care copy and variable information more clearly. Fine logo details may need simplified weaving artwork. We provide a digital proof and physical strike-off so density, colour, edge softness and fold are approved at actual size.
Paper, cord and surface finishing
Hang-tag stock, lamination, varnish, foil, embossing and cord all affect appearance, recyclability, cost and lead time. We recommend restraint where a finish does not add useful brand value. Dark stocks and soft-touch surfaces should be tested for scuffing or colour transfer before they touch light garments in transit.
Protect the garment in packaging
Bag size, venting, adhesive position, suffocation warnings, recycled-content claims and moisture protection depend on the garment and destination. Printed bags require an artwork minimum, while a standard bag with a branded sticker can suit smaller programs. The packed sample confirms fold, label visibility and presentation before bulk packing.
Approve trims before the line needs them
Most private-label trims are approved within 1–2 rounds: woven labels and hang tags often need only one confirmation, while custom hardware or specialty packaging can take more. Typical minimums are 500–1,000 pieces for labels, 300–500 metres for jacquard elastic (7–12 days to develop) and 500–1,000 pieces for custom zipper pullers (7–12 days for the sample, then 7–15 days for production). Custom trims often have their own minimums and lead times. They should be developed alongside the garment sample so approval does not become the last blocker before sewing or packing.
Digital proof, strike-off and placement sample
The proof checks content, dimensions and colour callouts. The strike-off checks the real material and manufacturing result. The garment sample then checks attachment and comfort in context. Approval at all three levels prevents a correct label from being sewn in the wrong direction or placed where it irritates the wearer.
Manage trim minimums
Accessory minimums are set by the accessory supplier and are usually higher than our 50-piece garment minimum; unused labels or packaging can normally be stored for repeat production. A label or printed bag supplier may require more pieces than one garment order. We disclose the production quantity and cost basis, then can hold approved leftovers for an agreed repeat program when practical. Shared brand trims should avoid style-specific information unless the inventory is intended for that style only.
Release final artwork once
Proof versions can look almost identical, so only the signed-off file is released for bulk. We check spelling, dimensions, colour references, folds, barcode numbers and quantities against the approval record. Late changes are assessed for materials already produced and for any knock-on effect on the packing schedule.
Pack for the receiving warehouse
Retail-ready presentation and logistics accuracy have to coexist. A beautiful pack that cannot be counted, scanned or sorted efficiently creates cost after the factory shipment leaves.
Define the assortment
Tell us whether cartons should be solid by style, colour and size or pre-packed in an assortment. Define units per bag, inner pack and carton, plus any carton weight or dimension limit. The packing method is tested on the pre-production sample and reflected in the final packing list.
Use unique product identifiers correctly
Retailers and marketplaces may require a GTIN or another platform identifier for each sellable variation. The brand obtains and owns those numbers; we print the supplied data and can verify basic readability and mapping. A barcode should not be copied between sizes or colours when they are separate trade items.
Final packing control
Before sealing cartons, operators check garment, size label, hang tag, sticker and bag against the style record. Carton marks and quantities are reconciled with the packing list. This final identity check helps prevent a correct garment from becoming an incorrect retail unit because one variable label was mixed.
Own-brand label manufacturing: private label, white label and OEM compared
Buyers searching for an own brand label manufacturer usually mean one of three arrangements. They differ in who designs the garment, who owns the pattern and how much of the product is yours. We work in all three; this is how we help a new brand choose.
Private label on our running styles
You pick a blank from our running line — a heavyweight tee, a 400 GSM hoodie, a five-panel cap — and we produce it with your woven label, care label, hang tag and packaging. The pattern is ours, the brand is yours. It is the fastest route to an own-brand range: samples in 5–8 days, MOQ 50 pieces per style with mixed sizes and colours, bulk in 24–30 days.
White label versus private label
White label means the same generic garment sold by several brands under different labels; private label means a specification developed for one brand only, even if it started from our block. In apparel the practical difference is exclusivity: a white-label blank can appear in a competitor’s store, a private-label style with your fabric, fit tweaks and trims cannot. We tell you which one you are buying before you sample.
OEM and full custom cut-and-sew
OEM (original equipment manufacturer) production means we build your design from your tech pack: your pattern, your fabric specification, your trims. Your brand owns the design and the pattern files. MOQ is 50 pieces per style (100 for knitwear, 500 for activewear), development samples take 8–15 days, and this is the route once a private-label test style has proven demand.
Frequently asked questions
What private-label items can you produce?
We can coordinate woven and printed labels, size and care labels, hang tags, barcode stickers, branded bags, tissue, cards and export cartons with the garment order.
Can you help with care-label content?
We can format supplied fibre, care, origin and company information and flag obvious conflicts. The brand or importer should confirm the final legal requirements for every sales market before approval.
Do custom labels have a separate minimum?
Usually yes. Trim suppliers often have production minimums that may exceed a small garment order. We quote the trim basis clearly and can discuss using approved surplus on repeat orders.
Can each size and colour have a different barcode?
Yes. Supply the approved mapping between style, colour, size, SKU and GTIN. We generate or print the variable stickers from that controlled file and check them during packing.
Are you an own brand label manufacturer?
Yes. We are the factory, not a trading company: garments are cut, sewn and finished on our own lines in Humen, Dongguan, and your own brand labels, hang tags and packaging are applied in-line. You can start with your label on our running styles from 50 pieces, or move to full custom cut-and-sew from your tech pack.
What is the difference between private label, white label and OEM clothing?
White label is a generic garment several brands sell under their own names. Private label is a style developed or adapted for one brand only. OEM is full custom production from your own design and pattern. Cost, exclusivity and development time rise in that order; many brands start private label and move to OEM once a style sells.
