Private Label Activewear Brands
Brands that own the design and the customer but not a factory. What they need from a supplier is a pattern they can keep, a sample they can hold, and a run small enough that a first season does not become dead stock.
Pain Points
What Goes Wrong for This Buyer
- Factories quote a minimum built for their own convenience, not for a brand's first season
- The second order does not match the first because nothing was locked to an approved sample
- Labels, hangtags and packing are treated as an extra rather than as part of the garment
- Design files come back redrawn because nobody checked the repeat before sampling
Requirements
What This Buyer Needs from a Factory
- Own neck labels, care labels and retail packing from the first production run
- A pattern regraded to the brand's own size chart, not the factory's default
- Physical samples before bulk, kept as the reference for every repeat
- A supplier who will run several prints inside one order

Questions Buyers Ask
Private Label Activewear Brands Ask
Can I start with one style before committing to a range
Yes. Sample one style, check it against your fit standard, then decide. The published minimum for a bulk run is 300 pcs.
Do you keep my patterns and artwork for repeat orders
Yes, your approved sample and the files behind it are kept as the reference for repeats. Tell us if you want them deleted after production.
Can my labels be sewn in from the very first order
Yes. Send label artwork with the order. Neck, care and size labels and retail packing are all part of OEM production.
What happens if the sample does not match my size chart
The pattern is regraded and re-sampled before bulk. Bulk is only cut after you approve a sample, so a mismatch is caught before it is multiplied.
Tell Us How You Buy
Send your quantities, your size chart and how you need the order packed. The answer comes back as a quote and a sampling plan.
