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.

Fabric Guide

Sportswear Fabric Guide

Choosing fabric is one of the highest-leverage decisions in OEM and ODM sportswear. Wrong fabric creates opacity failures, poor print results, uncomfortable handfeel, or wash issues that no stitching improvement can fix. This guide helps B2B buyers brief Rekhi Sports in Sialkot with material language that manufacturers can act on. Since 2003 we have confirmed fabrics for custom sportswear, team uniforms, activewear, fitness apparel, streetwear, and corporate programmes before bulk commitments.

Fabric choice is commercial, not decorative. A match jersey, a training hoodie, and a corporate polo serve different wear and wash cycles. State end use first, then discuss fibre, construction, GSM, stretch, and decoration suitability. Photos alone are not a material specification. A reference garment or approved swatch is.

Start with end use and performance priorities

List what the garment must do in use: moisture management for high-intensity sport, opacity for light colours, stretch and recovery for fitted activewear, warmth and handfeel for fleece, durability and embroidery stability for corporate wear, or youth wash durability for school programmes. Rank priorities. No single fabric wins every category. Trade-offs are normal; unspoken priorities create disputes after sampling.

Also name destination climate and retail expectations. A fabric that feels premium in one market may feel too heavy or too thin in another. Export buyers should say whether the product is for competition, training, lifestyle, or uniform duty so construction advice matches reality.

End use — sport, training, retail, corporate, school.
Priority traits — stretch, opacity, moisture, warmth, printability.
Decoration plan — sublimation, screen, heat transfer, embroidery.
Reference — swatch, approved style, or measurable sample.

Fibre, knit, and construction — what to communicate

Polyester knits dominate many performance programmes because they support moisture behaviour and sublimation. Cotton and cotton blends remain common where handfeel and breathability for lifestyle or corporate wear matter more than all-over print. Fleece constructions serve training and casual layers. Stretch fibres influence recovery and fit retention. You do not need laboratory jargon in the first RFQ, but you should avoid vague phrases like “best quality fabric” without traits.

Construction notes matter: single jersey, interlock, pique, French terry, and brushed fleece behave differently in cutting, sewing, and decoration. If you know the construction from a past season, name it. If you do not, describe the reference garment’s weight, stretch, and surface so ODM guidance can propose options.

Colour, shade, and wash expectations

Colour approval should use agreed standards — lab dips, approved bulk lots, or sealed sample fabric — not memory of a screen colour. Light colours expose opacity risk. Dark colours expose shade variation risk across rolls. Wash expectations should be realistic for fibre and decoration. Ask how fabric will be checked on intake and how shade continuity is handled across a colourway.

Buyers often change colour after fabric is reserved. That is commercially possible in many cases, but it resets material calendars. State colour freeze dates when seasons are tight. Honest planning beats last-minute surprises.

Decoration compatibility

Sublimation generally requires suitable polyester constructions and artwork prepared for the process. Screen print and heat transfer have different durability and handfeel profiles depending on ink systems and placement. Embroidery stresses fabric at stitch density — soft knits and structured fabrics respond differently. Confirm decoration method before locking fabric. Changing method after sampling can force a new fabric conversation.

Private label programmes should also consider label attachment and packaging friction on delicate surfaces. Fabric choice and finishing instructions belong in the same brief.

How Rekhi Sports confirms fabric before bulk

We confirm fabric options against your end use, GSM targets, decoration plan, and sealed sample path. Low MOQ pilots still need clear material definition; they simply use smaller commitments. Bulk programmes need roll planning and shade discipline. We will not invent a fabric story that ignores opacity or print limits. If a requested look conflicts with a requested process, we will say so early.

Related resources cover GSM in more detail, fabric types commonly used in sportswear, sublimation suitability, and printing methods. Read those pages when selecting materials for a new collection. Then send category, quantity, destination, and fabric notes through Get Quote so sampling can begin on a shared material baseline.

Fabric decisions are easier when buyers bring a physical or approved digital reference, state wash and wear priorities, and accept that premium results come from matched fibre, construction, GSM, and decoration — not from a single magic keyword. Rekhi Sports works that way because remakes cost more than clear confirmation. Brief the fabric honestly, and production can follow the sealed standard with fewer material disputes.

If you are comparing manufacturers, ask how fabric intake is checked, how shade lots are controlled, and whether the sealed sample fabric is retained as reference. Those process questions matter as much as the marketing name of a fabric family. Factory-direct sourcing in Sialkot rewards buyers who treat material confirmation as part of manufacturing, not as an afterthought before cutting starts.

Reference garments versus mood boards

A mood board can inspire colour and silhouette. It cannot replace fabric confirmation. When you have a reference garment that performed well — wash, opacity, print, handfeel — say what you want to keep and what you want to change. Factories can propose equivalents more accurately from a physical truth than from aspirational adjectives.

If you are building a first collection without references, prioritise one performance trait per style for the pilot. Trying to optimise stretch, opacity, softness, print brilliance, and lowest cost simultaneously in a first brief usually produces compromise fabric that satisfies no stakeholder. Sequence your learning: seal a workable fabric, then evolve in later colourways.

Document approved fabric decisions in your tech pack after sealing. Future reorders should cite that decision. Tribal knowledge in a buyer’s inbox is not a material specification. Written confirmation is how clubs and brands keep kit continuity when purchasing staff change. Ask any manufacturer how intake checks and shade lots are handled before you treat a fabric name as enough.
