How to Find a Clothing Manufacturer

The journey from a sketchbook idea to a finished garment hinges on one crucial decision: choosing the right production partner. Knowing how to find a clothing manufacturer that aligns with your brand’s needs, values, and budget is essential.

Before you commit, make sure you ask any potential manufacturer these 5 key questions:

What are your Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs)?

Why it matters: This determines if they are a fit for your startup or established brand. At Afraz Apparel, we cater to growing brands with low MOQs starting at 50 pieces.

What services are included? (CMT vs. Full Package)

Why it matters: Do you need a manufacturer who just cuts and sews (CMT), or one that handles everything from sourcing to shipping (Full Package)? We offer both to provide flexibility.

Can you provide examples of your work or client references?

Why it matters: A reputable manufacturer will have a portfolio. Ask about their experience with brands similar to yours.

What is your pricing structure?

Why it matters: Understand what is included in the quote (fabric, trims, labor, shipping). Transparency is key to avoiding hidden costs.

What are your ethical and sustainability practices?

Why it matters: Consumers demand ethical production. Partner with a factory that ensures fair labor practices and sustainable methods, like we do at Afraz Apparel.

Finding a manufacturer is about building a relationship. You need a partner who communicates clearly, understands your vision, and has the expertise to execute it.

Looking for a transparent and reliable partner? Afraz Apparel is here to answer all your questions.
