Looking for a clothing manufacturer for startups? If you are launching a clothing brand, the hardest part is rarely the design. It is finding a manufacturer that will take a small first order, explain each step in plain English and still deliver a garment you are proud to put your label on. Dezo Industry (also known as Pak Manufacturing) is a custom clothing manufacturer in Sialkot, Pakistan, and most of the brands we work with are new brands placing their first production run for customers in the USA.
Why startups choose a factory-direct manufacturer
Working directly with the factory means you talk to the people who cut, sew and finish your garments. There is no agent margin between you and production, and questions about fabric, fit or decoration get answered by the team that will actually do the work. For a startup this matters because small mistakes in a first run are expensive, and quick, clear communication is the cheapest insurance you can buy.
What a startup order looks like with us
- Share your idea. A tech pack is ideal, but a sketch, a reference photo or a sample garment is enough to start. We help turn it into a production-ready spec. See how to make a tech pack.
- Confirm fabric, fit and decoration. We recommend fabric weights (GSM), trims and a decoration method that suit your style and budget.
- Approve a paid sample. Sampling typically takes 5–10 days. You check fit, fabric and finish before committing to bulk. Read how the sampling process works.
- Bulk production. After sample approval, bulk production typically ships in 7–14 days, depending on quantity and finishing.
- Packing and shipping. We pack with your labels, tags and packaging and ship to the USA by air or sea freight. More on shipping to the USA.
Low minimums so you can test the market
Our minimums start from 5 pieces on selected styles, and each category lists its own MOQ. A smaller first run means less cash tied up and less dead stock if a style does not sell. Learn how this works in our low MOQ manufacturing guide, or see small batch production.
What startups usually make first
- Custom hoodies and sweatshirts in heavyweight or standard fabric
- T-shirts in oversized, boxy or classic fits
- Joggers and matching sweatsuits
- Activewear and gym wear
- Varsity, puffer and leather jackets as a hero piece
A first collection of two to five core styles is usually enough to launch. Our guide to the first drop checklist walks through the details.
Private label, white label or fully custom?
You can launch with proven base styles and your own labels (white label), build around your own fit and fabric (private label) or send a complete design for us to produce to specification (OEM). Not sure which suits you? Read private label vs OEM vs ODM.
Decoration for your brand
Embroidery (flat, 3D puff and chenille), screen print, puff print, DTG, sublimation and rhinestone detailing are all available, along with woven labels, printed neck labels, hang tags and branded packaging. See embroidery vs screen printing vs sublimation to choose the right method.
Plan your budget before you order
Unit price depends on fabric, construction, decoration, labels, quantity and shipping method. Our guides to the cost of starting a clothing brand and how to price your clothing help you work backwards from your retail price.
