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.

Import Export Guide

Import-Export Guide — Buying Apparel from Sialkot

Importing sportswear from a manufacturer in Sialkot, Pakistan requires more than a unit price. Packing, documents, Incoterms, lead time sequence, and destination rules determine whether cartons arrive usable. This guide gives practical buyer education for brands, clubs, distributors, and corporate programmes working with Rekhi Sports. Since 2003 we have packed and documented OEM, ODM, and private label shipments for markets including North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Middle East, and other regions.

This is not legal or customs advice for your jurisdiction. Import duties, restricted materials rules, and labelling laws vary. Name your destination requirements early so manufacturing and packing can align. Your broker or freight partner should confirm clearance details for your market.

Agree commercial terms before bulk finishes

Incoterms allocate responsibility for freight, insurance, and risk transfer. Decide terms while planning, not at the loading bay. Ship window, preferred mode — air, sea, or courier — and consignee details should be written into the programme brief. Changing mode after packing can force carton redesign and cost.

Payment terms and deposit structures are commercial choices. Whatever you agree, keep them consistent with sampling and bulk milestones so production is not blocked by unclear triggers.

Incoterms — who arranges and pays which legs.
Mode and window — air, sea, courier; required arrival logic.
Consignee and marks — who receives and how cartons are marked.
Document set — commercial invoice, packing list, and other agreed docs.

Packing is part of manufacturing

Export-ready packing means assortment ratios, polybag rules, size runs, and carton marks match what your warehouse or club distribution expects. Team sets may need matched components in one carton. Retail programmes may need different inner packs. Share those rules before bulk sewing ends. Late packing changes create overtime and errors.

Packing lists must match physical contents. Mismatches create clearance and receiving delays. Ask how the factory checks packing lists against cartons before handover. That question separates serious exporters from quote-only sellers.

Lead time as a sequence, not a slogan

Honest export calendars follow material confirmation, sampling, buyer approval, bulk materials, production, decoration, inspection, packing, and shipping arrangement. Approval delays sit on the critical path even when factories work quickly. Build approval time into your season plan. “Urgent” without a real event date produces false calendars.

Low MOQ pilots still need document and packing discipline if they cross borders. Small shipments are not exempt from clarity; they are often couriered with less tolerance for paperwork mistakes.

Destination labelling and market habits

Fibre content, care instructions, country of origin marks, and size labelling conventions differ by market. Provide the rules your brand already follows. If you are new to a market, consult your compliance resources and then brief the factory. We implement agreed label content; we do not invent your legal obligations.

Private label programmes should treat hang tags and care labels as part of the export product, not as optional extras added after inspection.

Working with Rekhi Sports on export programmes

Send destination market, quantity structure, packing preferences, Incoterms expectation, and ship window with your RFQ. Attach tech pack and artwork. We will plan production and packing against those inputs and communicate status in plain commercial language when material or calendar issues appear.

Related resources cover manufacturing sequence, MOQ, tech packs, and Get Quote channels. Factory visits in Daska, Sialkot help serious buyers evaluate how packing and inspection connect on the floor. Contact us for current communication windows in Pakistan Time (PKT).

Importing apparel successfully is a partnership between clear buyer instructions and factory execution. Unit price without packing and document readiness is an incomplete offer. Rekhi Sports treats export preparation as manufacturing work because cartons that fail receiving destroy the value of good stitching. Brief destination rules early, approve samples deliberately, and ship against written packing standards — that is how Sialkot programmes land cleanly for reorders rather than disputes.

Use this guide as a checklist in your internal sourcing SOP. When every RFQ includes destination, packing, and terms fields, your landed outcomes improve regardless of which style you launch next.

Working with freight partners and brokers

Your freight forwarder or customs broker should receive packing lists and invoices that match factory output. Misaligned documents create holds. Share the same assortment logic with factory and broker. If your broker needs extra certificate types for your market, name them during planning so production and admin can prepare — not after containers are gated.

Sample shipments and bulk shipments may use different modes. Do not assume a courier sample’s documentation style scales unchanged to a sea bulk. Ask what commercial invoice detail your market needs for apparel. Provide accurate descriptions and quantities. Under-declaring to “simplify” creates legal and relationship risk; this guide will not coach that behaviour.

Landed cost worksheets should include unit price, decoration, packing, freight, duties where applicable, and expected warehouse labour for rework if packing is wrong. The cheapest FOB line can lose to a slightly higher FOB with correct assortment. Evaluate manufacturers on landed usability, not only on the factory invoice.

Rekhi Sports prepares export cartons against agreed rules from Sialkot. Bring destination clarity early, and import programmes behave like manufacturing extensions rather than post-production emergencies.

Repeat orders and document continuity

Reorders should reuse packing marks, assortment logic, and invoice description patterns that cleared successfully before. Changing carton marks without telling warehouse teams creates receiving errors that look like factory mistakes. Keep a destination playbook per market and attach the relevant sheet to each RFQ.

If your brand expands into a new country, treat labelling and packing as a new confirmation even when the garment construction is unchanged. Construction continuity does not automatically equal compliance continuity. Ask your compliance advisors what changes, then brief Rekhi Sports with the updated rules so Sialkot packing stays aligned.
