Talk to Us Directly

Private label usually sounds simpler than it is. The logo part is easy. The messy part is making sure labels, hang tags, packaging, and garment details all line up with the sample and bulk plan. That is the part we help organize before it turns into avoidable mistakes.

What Private Label Usually Includes

Your brand can go on the parts buyers actually care about when the goods arrive: • Woven labels • Printed or woven hang tags • Care labels • Custom poly bags • Branded boxes That sounds straightforward, but label size, placement, fold type, packaging counts, and artwork format can all slow things down if nobody checks them early. We would rather sort those details before bulk than improvise later.

How Private Label Orders Usually Run

Most orders start from one of four things: a tech pack, a worn-in sample, a rough reference, or one of our base styles. Then we check the branding details together with the garment setup. That matters because labels and packaging should follow the production plan, not fight with it. Sample comes first. If something feels off in fit, fabric, label size, or branding placement, it is cheaper to fix there. After sample approval and deposit, bulk starts. Goods are then labeled, packed, checked, and prepared for shipment based on the approved branding setup.

Private Label, OEM, and ODM Are Not the Same Thing

Private label means the finished product goes out under your brand. OEM usually means you bring the spec and we manufacture to it. ODM usually means you start from an existing style and modify it instead of building everything from zero. A lot of first-time buyers mix these terms together. In real orders, brands often use a combination: faster ODM-style starting points for some pieces, and more custom OEM work for others.

Artwork, MOQ, and Lead Time

AI, PDF, and SVG are the cleanest file formats for labels and hang tags. High-resolution PNG can still work for simpler jobs, but it is usually not the first choice if you care about print accuracy. Garment MOQ usually starts around 100 pcs per style per color. Extra lead time for labels or packaging depends on the item and print method, not just the garment itself. If you already made labels with another supplier, send the details first and we can check whether they fit the production plan or create extra trouble.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does private label mean?

It means the garment goes out under your brand, with your labels, tags, care labels, and packaging details applied before shipment.

Do I need a tech pack to get started?

No. A tech pack is ideal, but a reference style, a physical sample, or a sketch with notes is enough to start the discussion.

Is there a minimum order for custom labels?

Usually there is no separate minimum beyond the garment order, but some packaging items still depend on print method and supplier setup.

How long does the first order take?

Sample lead time is usually 7–10 days. Bulk timing depends on the style, trims, and how much branding setup needs to be confirmed first.

What artwork format should I send for labels and hang tags?

AI, PDF, or SVG is best. High-resolution PNG is still workable for simpler artwork, but not always ideal for production.
