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.

ODM Manufacturing

ODM manufacturing at Rekhi Sports is for buyers who arrive with a strong commercial idea but not a complete factory-ready technical package. You may know the silhouette you want, the market you sell into, and the price band your customers will accept â yet still need pattern guidance, fabric selection advice, construction recommendations, and decoration planning before bulk can begin. Since 2003 in Sialkot, we have treated ODM as a structured development partnership: the factory helps turn intent into a sewable, export-ready garment while you retain commercial control of brand, pricing, and distribution.

Many international buyers confuse ODM with âthe factory designs everything for free.â That is not how professional apparel manufacturing works. ODM means shared development labour. You bring category diregery, target use (match play, training, retail fleece, corporate wear), size range, and destination market rules. We bring pattern experience, material options available for export programmes, stitching methods that survive washing, and honest feedback when a concept will not sew cleanly or will not travel well in cartons. The unique angle of this page is co-development with accountability â not vague âcustom designâ language.

When ODM is the right manufacturing path

Choose ODM when your brief is commercially clear but technically incomplete. Typical ODM situations include a club wanting a new training range without graded patterns, a fitness brand launching a first collection from mood boards, a distributor needing exclusive styles that competitors cannot buy from the same open catalogue, or a corporate buyer requesting apparel that must look branded without a full tech-pack library. In each case, waiting until every millimetre is documented in isolation often delays the season more than a guided sample cycle.

ODM is also useful when you already own some styles and want adjacent products that match the same fit family. Extending a successful jersey into a matching short, training top, or travel jacket requires pattern consistency. Our development team works from your sealed references so new ODM styles feel like part of one programme rather than unrelated garments that share a logo by accident.

OEM remains available when you already hold complete tech packs and want production-only execution. Private label completes brand presentation with labels, hang tags, and packaging. ODM sits between idea and industrial execution. Many growing accounts start in ODM, then migrate selected styles into OEM as their technical library matures â without changing factories mid-relationship.

What we develop together

An ODM programme at Rekhi Sports typically covers silhouette definition, fabric and weight recommendations for the intended use, construction details (seams, elastic, zippers, reinforcements), size set planning, and decoration method selection. Sublimation, embroidery, screen print, and heat transfer each behave differently on different fabrics. Choosing decoration after the garment is already sampled often forces remakes. Choosing it during ODM development protects calendars.

We also discuss opacity, stretch recovery, colourfastness expectations, and packing format early. A retail streetwear hoodie photographed online has different critical risks than a school PE kit washed weekly. ODM conversations name those risks before fabric is committed. That early honesty is part of premium manufacturing service for B2B buyers shipping to North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Middle East, and other import markets.

ODM sampling discipline

Development without sampling discipline becomes endless revision. Our ODM process moves from brief and material confirmation to proto or fit sample, buyer comments, corrections, and a sealed standard. Decoration proofs belong in that cycle when branding is part of the commercial product. The sealed sample becomes the contract for bulk â the same rule that governs OEM and private label programmes.

Clear feedback shortens loops. Vague feedback extends them. âMake it nicerâ is not an actionable comment. âShorten body length 2 cm in size L, raise sleeve crest 1 cm, and confirm neck rib recovery after washâ is actionable. We work best with buyers who treat ODM samples as commercial decisions, not mood exploration after fabric has already been reserved for bulk.

Low MOQ entry remains available for ODM first runs when market testing matters. Low quantity does not cancel development gates. A small pilot still needs a sealed standard, inspection, and packing instructions. When the pilot succeeds, bulk production can expand on the same patterns and construction â which is one of the strongest commercial reasons to develop with a long-standing Sialkot manufacturer rather than rotating through short-term suppliers.

Ownership, confidentiality, and commercial clarity

Buyers rightly ask who owns ODM outcomes. Commercial ownership of your brand, trademarks, and exclusive styling agreements must be stated in the working relationship. Factory pattern work created for your programme should not be treated casually across unrelated customers. We discuss exclusivity expectations, reference handling, and artwork control at the start of development so there is no ambiguity later when reorders arrive.

Costing also needs clarity. ODM development time, sampling rounds, and bulk unit price are related but not identical conversations. A complex multi-panel garment with specialty trims will not cost the same as a basic tee, regardless of how simple the mood board looked. Transparent discussion of complexity protects both sides and prevents surprise pricing after you have already announced a launch date.

Worldwide export readiness is part of ODM planning, not an afterthought. Carton marks, assortment ratios, polybag labelling, and care instructions should be considered while the garment is being developed. Retrofitting packing rules onto a finished bulk lot creates errors. Building packing into the sealed standard prevents them.

How to brief an ODM project

Share product category, end use, destination market, estimated first quantity, size range, reference images or garments, preferred fabrics if any, and brand decoration files. Tell us what must remain exclusive and what may follow proven house constructions. If you have wash, stretch, or retail photography requirements, include them. The better the brief, the fewer sample cycles you will need.

Ask us the questions that separate serious ODM factories from quote-only intermediaries: Who develops the pattern? How is the sample sealed? How are changes authorised after approval? How do low MOQ and bulk stay on the same standard? How are labels and packaging handled if private label finishing is required? We welcome those questions because ODM only creates value when development and production stay under one accountable roof.

Rekhi Sports in Sialkot since 2003 â OEM, ODM, and private label under one manufacturing system. If your next collection needs factory-guided development before production, start with an ODM brief. We will map sampling steps, material options, and a practical path from concept to export-ready apparel with the care your brand and your buyers deserve.
