Low MOQ t-shirt manufacturer: 100 pieces per style, made in Bangladesh

What 100 pieces of a t-shirt actually buys you

One hundred pieces per style and colour is enough to cut from your own pattern rather than decorate a blank. That difference shows everywhere a customer touches the product: the neck opening, the shoulder slope, the sleeve length, the hem width and the weight of the jersey are all yours to decide, and the label in the neck is yours, not a brand you overprinted. The partner runs a 100-piece style through the same steps as a bulk order, a sealed sample, a cutting plan, a sewing line, and inline and final inspection by our team.

What it does not buy is a custom-dyed shade. Jersey is dyed in lots far larger than 100 pieces, so a first run uses the partner’s stock colours, and a custom Pantone comes later when a style has proved itself and the quantity justifies a dye lot.

Choosing the jersey

Weight decides how the tee feels and who it is for. A 140–160 GSM combed cotton single jersey drapes and suits fashion basics and warm markets; 180–200 GSM is the everyday retail standard; 220–240 GSM gives the boxy, structured feel of premium streetwear. Combed and ring-spun yarns make a smoother, stronger fabric than open-end yarn at a modest cost; bio-washed or enzyme-finished jersey feels softer from the first wear. Blends with polyester or elastane change drape and recovery and suit activewear more than basics.

Tell us the tee you like and we match it with knit-down swatches from the partner’s stock, or say the weight and hand-feel you want and we propose two or three options with the sample.

Fit, construction and the details that read as quality

The details that separate a considered tee from a blank cost little at 100 pieces if they are in the tech pack from the start: a 1x1 rib neck at the width you specify, a taped back neck, twin-needle hems at the depth you choose, a side seam or a tubular body, a set-in or drop shoulder, and a pattern graded across your size range. The partner sews to the sealed sample, which is measured against your size chart before the run is cut.

• Neck: rib width, depth and whether the back neck is taped
• Shoulders: set-in, dropped or oversized, with the seam position measured
• Hems: single or twin needle, depth in centimetres
• Body: side-seamed for shaping, tubular for a seamless torso
• Labels: printed neck label, woven side label with fibre and care content

Decoration on a small run

Screen printing works at 100 pieces for one- or two-colour designs; the set-up spreads over fewer garments, so a six-colour print is better placed with digital printing, which has no colour-count cost and suits photographic artwork. Embroidery suits a small logo on the chest or sleeve. Each method has its own briefing list on our method pages, and every one is approved on the bulk fabric before the run.

Samples, approval and delivery

A first run goes through a proto or fit sample, then a pre-production sample in the bulk jersey with your labels, which you approve and we seal. Production, inline checks and a final random inspection follow, and the goods ship DDP to your door in about 40–50 days door to door as one landed cost. Sample charges are agreed before development starts. When a tee outgrows the small-run route, the same tech pack, sealed sample and grading move into our export factories without redevelopment.
