What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Our standard MOQ starts from just 30 pieces per design, making us one of the most flexible B2B apparel manufacturers for startups, seasonal test runs, team kits, and small-batch private label launches. Larger orders benefit from volume pricing.

Do you offer samples before bulk production?

Yes, we provide pre-production samples for your approval. Sample development typically takes 5–7 working days. We ship samples internationally so you can verify fabric, fit, stitching, print quality, and finishing before committing to bulk.

Can I add my own logo, labels and branding?

Absolutely. We offer full private label and custom branding services including embroidered logos, screen-printed graphics, woven labels, printed neck labels, hang tags, barcodes, and custom packaging — everything branded to your identity.

Do you provide private label manufacturing?

Yes, private label is one of our core services. We handle the entire process — fabric sourcing, pattern making, sampling, bulk production, labeling, packaging, and worldwide shipping — all under your brand name with no Rekhi branding on any product.

How long does production take?

Standard production timeline is approximately 7 working days from sample approval, though this varies by order complexity, quantity, and embellishment requirements. Rush orders can be accommodated — please discuss your timeline with our team.

What fabrics and materials do you work with?

We work with a comprehensive range: cotton, polyester, cotton blends, French terry, fleece, mesh, dry-fit, spandex blends, pique, and custom fabrics. Our sourcing team can procure specific materials to match your existing product line.

What embellishment and printing techniques do you offer?

We offer 30+ in-house techniques including traditional embroidery, 3D puff, chenille, woven patches, sublimation, screen printing, DTF, DTG, puff print, crackled ink, metallic foil, holographic transfers, laser etching, embossing, rhinestones, and more.

How do you ensure quality control?

Our 6-stage QC process covers fabric inspection, cutting inspection, in-line QC checks, 100% final garment inspection, packing verification, and shipment approval. Every piece is checked before it leaves our facility.

Do you ship worldwide? What are the shipping options?

Yes, we ship worldwide via air freight, sea freight (FCL/LCL), and international courier services (DHL, FedEx, UPS). We handle all export documentation including commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin.

What payment terms do you accept?

We accept bank transfers (TT), letters of credit (LC) for larger orders, and other negotiated payment terms. A 50% advance is typical to initiate production, with the balance due before shipment. We are flexible and can discuss terms.

Can you match a specific color or replicate an existing product?

Yes, we offer color matching services using Pantone references or physical swatches. We can also reverse-engineer existing garments — just send us a sample and we will match the fabric, fit, stitching, and finishing details.

Do you provide design and tech pack assistance?

Yes, our in-house design team can help create or refine your tech packs. If you have rough sketches, reference images, or measurements, we can develop complete technical specifications for sampling and production.

Custom Designs

Custom designs at Rekhi Sports means translating brand identity into garments that can be manufactured, washed, packed, and reordered without losing the look that sold the product. Design is not only artwork on a screen. It is silhouette, fabric behaviour, decoration method, contrast, placement hierarchy, and construction detail working together. Since 2003 in Sialkot, we have helped clubs, streetwear labels, fitness brands, schools, and corporate buyers move from visual intent to export-ready apparel through OEM, ODM, and private label paths.

Many design conversations fail because creative ambition and manufacturing constraints never meet early enough. A graphic that looks powerful in a mockup can sit across a seam and break. A colourway that photographs well can fail opacity tests on the chosen fabric. A complex multi-panel idea can exceed the budget and calendar the buyer announced publicly. The unique angle of this page is design for manufacture: keeping creative identity intact while making production decisions that survive bulk and worldwide shipping.

Design intent versus sewable reality

Strong custom design starts with commercial intent. Who wears the garment, in what environment, and what must the product communicate at first glance? A match jersey signals team identity under movement and sweat. A retail hoodie signals lifestyle in photography and on hangers. A corporate polo signals neatness through repeated washing. Design choices that ignore end use become returns and complaints regardless of how fashionable the first sample looked.

ODM development is often the right door when you have brand direction but need factory help shaping sewable styles. OEM production is right when your design library and tech packs are already complete. Private label finishing completes the brand story with labels, hang tags, and packaging. Custom design work can sit inside any of these paths; what changes is how much development labour the factory contributes before bulk.

We encourage buyers to bring references — not to copy competitors blindly, but to communicate fit preference, colour energy, and decoration density. Clear references reduce subjective debate and shorten sample cycles.

Decoration, colour, and placement hierarchy

Custom design lives or dies in decoration decisions. Embroidery, sublimation, screen print, and heat transfer each create different cost, durability, and visual outcomes. Choosing a method because it is fashionable without checking fabric compatibility is a common launch risk. Choosing a method after the garment silhouette is sealed can force redesign. Integrate decoration planning into the design brief.

Placement hierarchy matters for brand reading. Primary crest, secondary sponsors, player names, and side graphics compete for attention. Crowded chests look busy in person and worse in retail photography. Competition rules may restrict sizes and positions; buyers own regulatory compliance, while manufacturing owns accurate execution of the approved layout.

From design approval to production control

Once a design is approved in sample form, it becomes a manufacturing standard. Pattern pieces, markers, print files, embroidery programs, and work instructions must match that standard. Floor improvisation destroys custom design value. A crest raised “a little” or a panel colour swapped without approval is not creative flexibility — it is a contract break.

Low MOQ custom drops are commercially useful for streetwear releases, limited club editions, and market tests. They still require design locking. Limited quantity is not permission for unfinished files or missing size artwork. When a drop succeeds, bulk replenishment should repeat the sealed design, not reinterpret it under time pressure.

Multi-style collections need design systems, not isolated one-offs. Shared fit blocks, consistent crest rules, and coordinated colour stories make a range feel intentional. Pattern making and design development should talk to each other so a training piece and a match piece feel related without being identical.

Protecting brand assets during manufacturing

Custom design programmes carry intellectual property risk if files are handled casually. Artwork, fonts, and exclusive colourways should be controlled. Share print-ready files through agreed channels, confirm which elements are exclusive, and state whether leftover materials with branded prints may be destroyed or held for reorders only. Professional factories treat brand assets as part of quality — because a leaked or misused graphic damages trust faster than a late carton.

Destination markets add labelling and packaging expectations that interact with design. Care text language, fibre composition disclosure, and hang tag formats can be mandatory in certain regions. Design presentation that ignores those rules creates customs and retail problems after the garment itself is already correct. Worldwide export readiness includes design-adjacent compliance details.

North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Middle East, and other import markets also differ in fit and colour preference. Design briefs that name the primary market help avoid samples that please the factory visit but disappoint the selling region.

Sampling is where design decisions become enforceable

Custom design only becomes manufacturable when it survives sampling. Colour on screen is not colour on fabric until a physical standard exists. Placement guides in a mockup are not production placements until they are sewn, printed, or embroidered and approved. Buyers who skip this step and jump to bulk often discover that “small” visual changes require new print files, new embroidery programs, or new pattern breaks. Treat sampling as the moment design intent becomes a factory rule.

Comment cycles should be measurable: move crest up, darken pantone target within agreed fabric limits, reduce sleeve graphic density, adjust contrast for photography. Subjective loops without decisions burn calendar and budget. Once sealed, the design standard travels with production, floor QC, packaging, and reorders — which is how custom work stays consistent for worldwide export.

How to brief a custom design programme

Provide category, target wearer, destination market, quantity plan, mood or reference images, logo files, colour targets, decoration preferences, and known constraints (budget band, ship window, competition rules). State whether you need ODM design-for-manufacture support or OEM execution of a finished tech pack. Ask how design changes are controlled after sealing, how exclusive artwork is stored, and how sample comments should be formatted for measurable revisions.

Rekhi Sports in Sialkot since 2003 builds custom designs inside a full manufacturing system — sampling, pattern control, production, floor QC, packing, and export coordination. Bring the identity you want athletes, customers, or employees to recognise. We will help turn that identity into apparel that still looks intentional when the carton opens on the other side of the world.
