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.

Shipping & Logistics

Shipping and logistics convert factory-finished cartons into delivered programmes. At Rekhi Sports, export coordination is part of manufacturing accountability: packing lists must match contents, documents must support your forwarder, and mode selection must fit sample urgency versus bulk economy. Since 2003 in Sialkot, we have prepared OEM, ODM, and private label apparel for worldwide routes — air, sea, and courier — with the discipline international buyers need when calendars are tight and remakes are slow.

Factories that sew well but ship chaotically still fail B2B customers. Wrong marks, incomplete paperwork, late booking information, or silent delays destroy trust even when stitch quality was acceptable. The unique angle of this page is logistics as a controlled handoff from the production floor: what must be ready before cartons leave, how destination rules shape packing, and how communication should work while goods are in motion.

Choosing mode by purpose

Courier and air options commonly serve samples, urgent replacements, and small low MOQ launches where speed outweighs unit freight cost. Sea freight commonly serves bulk replenishment and seasonal programmes where carton volume makes ocean economics rational. Mixed strategies are normal: seal the sample by air, then move bulk by sea once approvals lock. Mode choice should be stated in the commercial plan, not guessed after goods are already packed.

Lead time conversations must include production time and transit time as separate realities. A factory that quotes only sewing days while ignoring booking windows, port congestion risk, and destination clearance creates false confidence. We discuss practical calendars in plain language. We will not promise transit miracles we cannot control. We will control readiness on our side so your forwarder is not waiting on missing packing lists or unmarked cartons.

Buyers who nominate their own forwarder remain welcome. Factory-supported coordination works best when responsibilities are explicit: who books, who pays freight, who provides commercial invoices and packing lists, and who handles destination duties. Ambiguity here causes avoidable email storms during the most stressful week of the order.

Documents and physical goods must agree

Export readiness means documents describe reality. Style names, quantities, sizes, colourways, and carton counts on the packing list should match what is physically loaded. Commercial invoice details should align with the goods and with the Incoterms you agreed. Mismatches create customs friction and receiving disputes. QC and finishing should verify carton contents before documents are finalised.

Private label and retail programmes may need additional ticket and labelling evidence for destination markets. Team programmes may need kit-set packing notes for receiving managers. Share those requirements early so logistics planning includes them rather than discovering gaps at the terminal.

Destination markets and packing implications

North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Middle East, and other import regions differ in labelling expectations, receiving habits, and tolerance for documentation errors. Fibre composition, care language, and country-of-origin marking rules can affect tickets and carton notes. Buyers own the regulatory brief for their market; manufacturing owns accurate execution of the packing and document plan once that brief is clear.

Assortment strategy affects logistics cost and receiving labour. Solid-size cartons, ratio packs, or kit bundles each create different warehouse experiences. Choose intentionally. Changing assortment logic after cartons are sealed forces rework or creates messy destinations. Packaging solutions and shipping logistics should be planned together during sampling whenever presentation is commercially critical.

Low MOQ shipments still need correct documents and marks. Small consignments are easy to mishandle precisely because people assume “it is only a few cartons.” Bulk sea programmes need stricter carton discipline and earlier booking visibility. Both ends of volume share one principle: readiness before movement.

Communication while goods move

After dispatch, buyers need factual milestones: packed and handed to forwarder, airway bill or bill of lading references when available, and any known exception that affects arrival. Silence is not professionalism. Overpromising ETAs that freight markets cannot guarantee is also not professionalism. We prefer clear status and early exception notices.

If a production issue threatens the ship window, disclose before cartons are notionally “ready.” Logistics cannot repair a late decoration calendar by magic. Coordinated honesty across production, QC, packing, and export roles is how OEM and ODM partnerships survive difficult seasons.

Samples, replacements, and split shipments

Logistics planning should distinguish first samples, revised samples, bulk first delivery, and later replenishment. Split shipments are sometimes rational: courier the sealed sample and a small low MOQ launch, then sea-freight the bulk once sell-through or final approvals confirm volume. Split strategies only work when style identity, packing rules, and document references stay consistent across consignments. Confused references across split lots create receiving errors that look like factory quality failures.

Replacement shipments for damaged or short cartons need the same document discipline as original bulk. Rush emotion should not erase carton marks, packing lists, or QC release. A replacement that arrives undocumented creates a second problem for the buyer’s warehouse. OEM, ODM, and private label programmes all benefit when logistics treats exceptions with the same process seriousness as the main order.

How to brief shipping requirements

Provide destination country, preferred mode, Incoterms, forwarder details if nominated, required document list, carton mark format, and any retail or team receiving rules. State sample versus bulk strategy if both will ship. Ask how packing lists are verified, when export documents are issued, and who owns booking. Those questions reveal whether a supplier understands export manufacturing.

Rekhi Sports in Sialkot since 2003 prepares sportswear and related apparel for worldwide delivery as part of one accountable system — sampling, production, floor QC, packaging, and logistics handoff. Share your route plan with the RFQ. We will align packing and document readiness so your approved goods can travel as cleanly as they were manufactured, whether the next carton is a pilot courier or a bulk sea programme.
