Private Label Clothing Manufacturer

Yes. Each garment type counts as its own style, so a tee, a hoodie and a pair of joggers in one colour is three minimums of 150 pieces, 450 in all, with the size split inside each hundred and fifty left to you. Pieces meant to be worn together come from one dye lot, so their colours match. The branding is shared across all of them: one neck label design, one care label layout with the fibre content changed for each fabric, and one hang tag. That artwork is approved at the same time as the pre-production samples, and the labels are made while the garments are being sewn rather than afterwards. We recommend ordering five to ten per cent more trims than the run needs, and whatever is left, including any excess from the trim suppliers' own minimums, is kept for your reorder.

Your logo files, the list of markets you sell in, and any identifiers that only your business can hold. From the logo we spec the neck label with you, woven, printed or a tagless transfer, and the hang tag, which usually carries your brand line, price and barcode. Your markets decide what the care and content label must say and in which language. The fibre content comes from us, taken from the fabric actually used, and the care instructions are backed by wash testing. The identifiers come from you. For the United States, the label names the business responsible or shows its RN. The FTC issues RNs only to US businesses, so no overseas factory can supply one, and it does not require one to trade. A brand name alone does not count unless it is the name your company trades under. We need these details before anything goes to print.

Yes. Every piece in the order carries the labels you approved, and none of them carries ours: nothing on the garment names the factory. The one line that does say where it was made is the country of origin, such as Made in Bangladesh, because the markets that require it treat it as part of the legal label. Placement is part of the specification. The neck label sits where the pre-production sample shows it, the care and content label goes where each market expects to find it, and a tagless print can replace the neck label if you would rather nothing touched the skin. Hang tags and packaging go on at the end. Because the labels are part of the sealed sample, Walter Meyer's QC team checks them in bulk alongside measurements and workmanship, so a missing or crooked label is caught before anything ships.

Yes, and the reorder is where private label starts to pay back. The sealed pre-production sample stays on file as the reference for every repeat run, so the second order is checked against the same garment as the first. Pattern and sampling are already paid for, which makes a reorder cheaper per piece than the launch, and the unit price steps down again as quantities pass the usual breaks, around 500, 1,000 and 5,000 pieces. Your label surplus carries forward as well: any surplus ordered for the first run, plus anything left from the trim suppliers' minimums, is used before new labels are bought. If you change the label artwork between runs, tell us when you place the reorder, and the new version is approved before anything is printed, as the first was. A reorder can also add a colour to an existing style, starting at 150 pieces.

Not on our floor. We cut and sew knitwear only, so woven garments go to CMB Sourcing Ltd, the sister buying house in our industrial area. CMB is a separate company, with its own contract, invoice and paperwork for the pieces it handles. Its website, clothingmanufacturerbangladesh.com, read on 23 September 2026, describes it as a buying house and says plainly: “We do not own sewing lines.” The same site says each product category goes to factories that specialise in it, and lists woven shirts and bottoms, denim, and jackets and outerwear among its products. For a range that mixes knit and woven, the practical route is one brand and two suppliers: we make the knit pieces, CMB handles the woven ones, and the same label artwork can go to both, since CMB's site lists logo and label artwork as what a brand supplies under its private label model. We make the introduction.

From you, because a retail barcode identifies your brand, not the factory that sewed it. The number behind a UPC barcode is a GTIN, and GS1 US explains that its first 6 to 10 digits are a company prefix, issued by GS1, that identifies the brand owner, and the next digits are assigned by you to identify the item. It also says every variation, such as a different size, gets its own number, so one hoodie in one colour and five sizes needs five barcodes, and each new colour needs five more. Send us the numbers or the barcode artwork, matched to each style, colour and size, before anything goes to print, and we place them on the hang tags or polybag stickers where your retailer asks for them. GS1 US notes that most retailers require a barcode before they will stock a product, and many stockists and marketplaces publish labelling rules of their own, so ask early.

Yes, within limits we confirm for each order. The baseline is a plain polybag, which keeps a garment clean in transit. You can ask for recycled or compostable polybags instead, or carry the branding on a kraft mailer, tissue and a sticker, and we confirm what our packaging suppliers can make before any artwork is drawn. Print only the claims the material supports. If you sell in the UK, read the rules on Plastic Packaging Tax: a business must register once it has imported or made 10 tonnes or more of finished plastic packaging components in the last 12 months, or expects to in the next 30 days, and the tax falls on components with less than 30% recycled plastic. A first run of 150 pieces per style is far below that weight, and a bag with at least 30% recycled plastic stays outside the tax. Tell us your markets and we spec it with you.

White label usually means a ready-made base garment sold to many brands under each brand's own name, while private label and OEM mean a garment built to your own specification and sold by nobody else. Suppliers use private label in both senses, so ask which one a quote describes before comparing it: a proven base garment with your label sewn in, or your own fit, fabric weight and trims. With a white-label piece, a competitor can buy the identical garment; with a cut-and-sew private-label or OEM piece, the pattern and the result are yours. Collective Studio works in private label and OEM: knitwear cut and sewn to your specification in Narayanganj, Bangladesh, finished with your neck labels, care labels, hang tags and packaging, from 150 pieces per style and colour. Your designs, tech packs and artwork stay yours, and we sign NDAs routinely. Our guide to private label, white label and OEM sets the three side by side.
