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.

Sampling Process

Sampling is where manufacturing trust is earned or lost. At Rekhi Sports, the sampling process exists to convert a commercial brief into a sealed physical standard that governs bulk production, packing, and reorders. Fast sampling matters to launch calendars. Accurate sampling matters more. Since 2003 in Sialkot, we have built our OEM, ODM, and private label relationships around a simple rule: bulk should look like the approved sample â not like a hopeful interpretation of an email thread.

International buyers often suffer when factories treat samples as sales theatre and bulk as a different product. Measurements drift. Fabrics substitute silently. Decoration placements move. Labels appear late. The unique angle of this page is the sample as a commercial contract: what must be confirmed, how comments should be written, when production may start, and how low MOQ pilots and bulk programmes share the same discipline for worldwide export.

What a serious sample must prove

A useful sample answers commercial questions. Does the fabric handfeel and weight match the intended use? Does the pattern fit the size it claims to represent? Do seams, elastics, and reinforcements behave under movement? Is decoration placement correct and durable enough for the product category? Are label positions and care instructions acceptable for the destination market? If private label packaging is part of the offer, does the presentation feel brand-owned?

Different sample types serve different decisions. A proto sample tests construction and silhouette early. A fit sample focuses on graded expectations and wearability. A size set confirms consistency across the run. A pre-production or sealed sample locks the standard before bulk fabric is cut in volume. Not every programme needs every type, but every programme needs a clear decision point where âapprovedâ means something enforceable on the floor.

Categories change the critical risks. Sublimated match kits emphasise colour registration and numbering. Fleece and streetwear emphasise handfeel and clean branding for retail photography. Corporate polos emphasise collar behaviour and embroidery shape retention through washing. School PE kits emphasise youth grading and reorder continuity. Sampling plans should name the risks that matter for your category instead of applying one generic checklist blindly.

How our sampling workflow runs

The process begins with briefing: product category, destination market, quantity intent, size range, artwork or tech pack, and any reference garment. Material confirmation follows. Guessing fabric after the sample is sewn wastes cycles. Pattern and construction planning come next for ODM programmes, or tech-pack interpretation for OEM programmes. Then the sample is produced, reviewed internally against the brief, and presented for buyer comments.

Communication quality determines cycle count. âApproved with commentsâ must list measurable changes. âLooks fine generallyâ creates disputes later. We respond best when buyers mark photos, measurement charts, or physical samples with specific instructions. If a change affects cost or lead time, we say so before bulk deposits lock a calendar that can no longer absorb surprise complexity.

Sealing the standard and protecting reorders

Once approved, the sample â or the clearly documented approved standard â is sealed as the reference for bulk. Floor supervisors and QC staff work from that reference. Changes after sealing are controlled events, not casual chat messages. Uncontrolled mid-bulk changes are a primary cause of mixed cartons and unhappy retail or team recipients.

Sealed standards also protect reorders. A club renewing kits next season, a brand repeating a colourway, or a distributor replenishing a private label style all benefit when last yearâs fit still matches this yearâs production. Pattern and measurement memory live with the factory that owns the sealed sample. That continuity is a practical reason buyers stay with a Sialkot manufacturer for more than one opportunistic shipment.

Low MOQ sampling and production follow the same gates. A pilot order of limited units still needs approval discipline. Reducing quantity cannot become an excuse for skipping decoration checks or packing instructions. When the pilot succeeds, bulk manufacturing expands from the same sealed standard without reinventing the tech pack.

Sampling, packing, and export readiness

Many programmes fail commercially not in sewing but in presentation. Polybag labelling, size stickers, assortment ratios, hang tags, and carton marks should be confirmed during sampling whenever they are part of the customer experience. Retrofitting packing rules after bulk is complete creates errors that inspection alone cannot fully repair. Worldwide export markets â including North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Middle East â punish late improvisation.

Private label buyers should treat packaging samples as seriously as garment samples. A well-sewn product with wrong care text or missing hang tags still fails brand standards. OEM buyers with strict retail compliance packs should share those rules early so sampling includes them. ODM buyers developing new styles should decide packing format before bulk calendars harden.

How to start a sample request

Share category, destination, size range, quantity plan, files or tech pack, and the decision you need the sample to unlock: fit only, full commercial approval, or private label presentation. Tell us known constraints â wash expectations, stretch needs, competition logo rules, or retail photography requirements. Ask who owns sample sealing, how revisions are counted, and what must be approved before bulk fabric is committed.

Rekhi Sports manufactures OEM, ODM, and private label apparel with sampling as the gate, not the brochure. Since 2003 we have preferred clear approvals over optimistic assumptions. Send a complete brief and we will outline a practical sampling path from first proto to sealed standard â then to export-ready production that still respects what you signed off.
