Private label clothing manufacturer in Bangladesh

Private label starts from garment patterns that are already developed and proven in production, such as a classic tee, a relaxed hoodie or a five-pocket jean. You choose the fabric, colours and trims, add your labels, hangtags and packaging, and the product becomes yours on the shelf. Because the fit is already worked out, development is faster and there are fewer sampling rounds. OEM means the factory produces exactly to your own specification: your patterns, your measurements and your construction details. It takes longer and costs more to develop, but the design is unique to your brand and the pattern belongs to you. Many brands start with private label to launch quickly, then move their best-selling styles to OEM once they know what customers want. Both routes use the same factories, quality checks and compliance documents.

Yes. Branding is where private label becomes your product, so we source it alongside the garment. Options include woven or printed neck labels, heat-transfer tagless labels, care and composition labels that meet your market’s rules, hangtags on recycled or FSC-certified board, and custom polybags, boxes, tissue and stickers. Send your logo and brand guidelines in vector format, and we return artwork proofs for approval before anything is printed. Care labels need special attention: the fibre content must match the fabric test report, and the rest follows the law where you sell, as the US FTC rules add the country of origin and care instructions while the EU and UK textile rules stop at the fibre composition. Check these on the sample before you approve it. Retail barcodes, price stickers and carton labels can be applied during packing, so goods arrive ready for your warehouse or marketplace.

Your branding, colour choices and any design changes you make are yours, and we never use your artwork, labels or packaging for another buyer. The underlying base patterns in a private label programme are not exclusive, though: a classic crew-neck tee is a shared starting point, much like a standard car chassis carrying different bodywork. In practice, your fabric, colourway, fit adjustments, decoration and trims make the finished garment distinct. If exclusivity matters to you, there are two routes. You can adjust a base pattern enough that it becomes your own block, which we then keep only for you. Or you can move the style to OEM development, where the pattern is created from your specification and belongs to your brand.

Our private label orders start at 500 pieces per style and colour, which is also the minimum for t-shirts and hoodies, and several categories start higher: denim jeans, jackets, woven shirts, workwear and uniforms at 2,000; underwear at 5,000 pieces and socks at 5,000 pairs. For other categories, such as polos and activewear, the exact minimum is confirmed on your quote. The minimum counts per colour as well as per style, because each colour is its own fabric lot, so a tee in three colours means three commitments of 500. We publish no prices: each style is quoted from your tech pack or a reference garment, because fabric, weight, decoration, quantity and the shipping term set the price. Your labels, hangtags and packaging are added as their own lines. Launching in one or two colours keeps a first order small, and colours can be added on the reorder once the style sells.

It depends on where you sell, so settle the label text for your market before sampling, and approve it. In the United States, FTC rules require the fibre content by generic name and percentage, the country of origin on the front of a label at the inside centre of the neck, and the full trading name or RN of a business handling the garment; a separate FTC rule requires a permanent care label. In Great Britain and the EU, textile law requires the fibre composition, in English for Great Britain and in the language of each EU country of sale, and product safety law adds a name, an address and a product or batch reference. Their textile rules require neither a care nor an origin label, though any origin stated must not mislead. Special cases such as children’s nightwear add their own rules, and our guide to clothing label requirements by law sets each out with its source.

The brand named on a private label garment is treated as its manufacturer or producer under EU and British product safety law, and US law counts the importer as a manufacturer. The EU’s General Product Safety Regulation, which has applied since 13 December 2024, defines a manufacturer as anyone who has a product designed or manufactured and markets it under their own name or trademark, and requires a responsible economic operator in the EU or Northern Ireland. In Great Britain, the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 count as a producer any person presenting himself as the manufacturer by putting his name or trade mark on the product. The US Consumer Product Safety Act defines a manufacturer as any person who manufactures or imports a consumer product, and defines a private label brand owner separately. So the safety duties sit with you or your importer. Confirm your position with a compliance adviser before labels are printed.

No, a registered trade mark is not required to order private label clothing, but check the name before any label is made. Labels, hangtags and packaging are produced to your artwork, so a name you must later change turns that stock into waste. In the United States, the USPTO says federal registration is your choice: rights from use alone are limited to the area where you trade, while registration gives rights across the country and lets you record the mark with Customs and Border Protection to block infringing imports. In the UK, government guidance read on 1 October 2026 says registration costs at least £205, usually takes around three to four months and lasts ten years, and that a clothing line is filed in class 25 (clothing, footwear and headgear). Search the registers in every market you plan to sell in before you approve the label proof. This is not legal advice.

Labels, hangtags and packaging on a private label garment are quoted as their own lines, and on a published 2023 cost sheet they came to about 12 US cents a garment. We publish no price for them, because the cost depends on the label type, the print and the supplier’s minimum, but that study of Bangladeshi factories shows the scale. Its basic t-shirt, priced at US$39.40 a dozen, carried a main label at US$0.48 a dozen, a size label at US$0.08, a care label at US$0.18, a hangtag at US$0.36 and a polybag at US$0.36. Together that is US$1.46 a dozen, or 3.7% of the price, against 42.6% for the fabric. Expect your own figure to be higher at small quantities, since woven labels and printed packaging are made in batches. Ask for each branded item as a separate line on the quote, with the supplier’s minimum beside it.

To start a private label clothing line, choose a product, pick a proven block, then add your fabric, colour and branding: you do not need a pattern of your own. The category sets the minimum: with CMB Sourcing Ltd. a t-shirt starts at 500 pieces per style and colour, and other categories start at 500 pieces or more. The price follows from your fabric, decoration and quantity, and we quote it from your sample or tech pack. Keep the first order to one or two colours, since each colour is its own minimum. Send your logo and label artwork in vector format with Pantone references, and name every market you will sell in, so the label text is right before printing. You then approve a branded sample, which is sealed as the standard for inspection. Production, an AQL final inspection and export documents follow, shipped FOB, CIF or DDP. Send the product, quantity and market, and we reply within one working day.
