You're building a real label. You need a manufacturer who takes your 200-piece order seriously.

Custom neck labels, hang tags, puff print, silicon patch — everything your brand needs, from the first production run.

You know your product. Finding a manufacturer who'll take it seriously is the hard part.
You've done the small-batch printing run. Tested the market. Got the validation you needed. Now you want to do it properly — real fabric, real GSM, your neck label sewn in, your hang tag on every piece.
The problem is that every manufacturer you've found wants 500 pieces minimum. Or they quote you and then you don't hear from them again. Or the sample comes back and the GSM is nothing like what you asked for.
D2C brands at 200 pieces aren't a priority for most factories in Tirupur. They're an afterthought.
We built the opposite. 200 pieces is our minimum — not our exception.
| What founders usually hear | What we do instead |
| "We don't take orders below 500 pieces" | Our MOQ is 200 pieces per style — designed for brands in their first real run |
| You send a reference. They send back something different. | Sample locked to your brief. Bulk only after your written approval. |
| No one to talk to who actually understands your brief | Bangalore office — one named contact who reads everything you send |
| You find out about the delay after it's already happened | Stage updates with photos sent proactively, not when you chase |
| The deposit disappears and the factory goes quiet | Payment tied to milestones — you pay for what's been done |
| Inconsistent sizing across a run of 200 | AQL-based final inspection: measurements checked on 10% of every batch |
Building a label is different from placing a bulk order. Here's how we think about it.
A fashion brand's first real production run isn't just a transaction. It's the moment the product becomes real. These are the things that matter most — and where we actually earn the relationship.
Fabric that holds its identity across colourways
When you're building a label, GSM consistency is brand identity. A 300GSM hoodie that arrives at 270GSM in a different colourway is a different product. We lock fabric spec before the bulk cut — and on reorders, we match the original batch reference, not a new approximation.
Branding from neck label to hang tag
Private label is more than printing your name on someone else's blank. We handle custom woven neck labels, custom hang tags, custom zip pulls, drawcord branding, and polybag packaging — all from the 200-piece MOQ. The garment your customer holds should be undeniably yours.
A manufacturing partner who's in your city
Most D2C founders building in Bangalore, Mumbai, or Delhi can't take a week off to visit Tirupur. You shouldn't have to. Our Bangalore office handles all client communication, briefing, sampling coordination, and production oversight. The factory is in Tirupur. The relationship is with someone you can meet.
Two real D2C orders. The spec is public — ask us for more detail.
We don't name clients without permission, but we show the work. These are both Indian D2C fashion labels — small teams, clear briefs, real products.
240 hoodies. 350GSM. 4 colourways. Every branding element custom.
240 pieces, 350GSM brushed fleece. Four colourways run simultaneously, not sequentially — the kind of order a D2C label places when they're building a real collection, not just testing the water.
HD print on chest, puff print on sleeve, screen print on back. Three techniques on one garment, coordinated across four colourways — and matched to the approved sample throughout the run.
Silicon patch, woven neck labels, custom hang tags. Every element was specified by the brand and executed by us. The finished garment looked like a product, not a production sample.

120 pieces. Puff print. Tech pack in hand from day one.
120 pieces with a complete tech pack from day one — GSM specified, print placement mapped, measurement chart included. A brand that knew what it wanted, and trusted us to execute.
Puff print on chest: raised, tactile, consistent across the full run. Tested on the actual production fabric during sampling to confirm height and opacity before the bulk cut.
Measurements checked on 10% of garments at final inspection against the approved spec. Zero deviations flagged. The run looked like the sample.

Delivered on brief
We don't name clients without permission. The specs above are real — WhatsApp us if you want more detail on either order.
From your first message to your first delivery — exactly what happens.
No black boxes. No vague "we'll be in touch." Here's every stage, and what you're involved in at each one.
01
Send us what you have
Tech pack, reference image, a Pinterest board, a rough sketch — whatever stage you're at. Tell us the product, the approximate quantity, and your ideal timeline. We respond within 48 hours with questions or initial pricing.
02
Spec it together
We'll ask about GSM, fabric construction, print method, fit, sizing, and branding elements. If you don't know every answer yet, that's fine — this is the stage where we figure it out together, before anything is produced.
03
Sample at our Tirupur unit
We produce a physical sample at our own factory. You receive it at your door. You review it, we note your feedback, and we revise if needed. Nothing goes to bulk production until you've given written approval.
04
Confirm and go to bulk
Sample approved — we confirm the order, agree payment milestones, and begin bulk production. You get a confirmed production timeline. No ambiguity about when things are happening.
05
Production with inline QC
Fabric checked before cutting. Stitch quality monitored during production. Measurements verified at final inspection. Print registered and tested against approved sample. You get photos at every key milestone.
06
Delivered to your door in India
We ship domestically across India with real tracking. You receive your order, your brand labels intact, your sizing correct. And we're still reachable if anything needs to be resolved.
Total lead time from confirmed order: 45–60 days. Domestic delivery in India adds 2–5 days. If you're planning a drop date, share it with us early — we can work backwards from there.

Private Label Options
MOQ: 200 pieces per style. All print methods and all private label options are available from 200 pieces. Each colourway counts as a separate style for MOQ purposes.
The honest picture on MOQ — because you deserve straight answers.
Most D2C founders spend weeks getting quotes only to discover the MOQ is twice what they budgeted for. Here's exactly how our MOQ works, so you can make the right decision before you invest time in a conversation.
Most Tirupur factories start at 500–1,000 pieces per style — built for export orders, not D2C label launches.
We start at 200 pieces per style because we built the model for brands at this stage.
Each colourway counts as a separate style for MOQ purposes.
At 200 pieces, all print methods are available — screen, puff, HD, silicon patch, embroidery.
At 200 pieces, full private label is available — woven labels, hang tags, packaging.
If you grow to 500 or 1,000 pieces, the per-unit cost comes down. We scale with you.
Managed from Bangalore. Manufactured in Tirupur. That split is deliberate.
Most factories in India are one-location operations. The floor manager is also your account manager. When production is busy, client communication waits. When something goes wrong, you hear about it late — or not at all. We split those two jobs on purpose.

Questions D2C founders ask us before placing their first order.
Klothewala accepts minimum orders of 200 pieces per style for Indian D2C brands — covering custom t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and polo shirts. This is significantly lower than the 500–1,000-piece minimums typical of large Tirupur factories. Each colourway within a style counts as a separate style for MOQ purposes. All print methods and private label options are available at the 200-piece minimum.
Yes. Klothewala provides full private label manufacturing for Indian D2C brands from its minimum order of 200 pieces per style, including custom woven neck labels, custom hang tags, custom zip pulls, branded drawcords, and polybag packaging. All branding elements are sourced and applied at the Tirupur production unit, managed from the Bangalore office. The brand's full identity is executed on the finished garment — not just the outer packaging.
A Bangalore-based D2C brand looking for its first knitwear production run should find a manufacturer with a MOQ of 200–300 pieces, their own production unit rather than brokered production, and a local client management presence. Klothewala's main office is in Bangalore, handling all briefs, sampling coordination, and order management for D2C brands. Production happens at the Tirupur unit. D2C brands can WhatsApp or email the Bangalore team directly to start a conversation.
Custom knitwear manufacturing for an Indian D2C brand takes 45–60 days from confirmed order to dispatch. The timeline includes 10–14 days for sample production at the Tirupur unit, 3–5 days for sample review and approval, 25–35 days for bulk production, and 5–7 days for final QC and packing. Domestic delivery within India adds 2–5 days. First-time orders may take slightly longer if the spec needs additional sampling rounds.
A private label clothing manufacturer for D2C brands manages the full production process — fabric sourcing, sampling, bulk production, QC, branding, and packaging — under the brand's label, with a dedicated point of contact throughout. A factory typically produces at high MOQs and expects the brand to manage the brief, tech pack, QC, and logistics. Klothewala is a managed private label manufacturing partner with its own Tirupur production unit and a Bangalore client management office — not a factory the D2C brand has to manage themselves.
To start a knitwear manufacturing order with Klothewala, a D2C brand needs a product reference or description, approximate quantity, target delivery date, and any branding requirements. A tech pack is helpful but not required to start a conversation — Klothewala's Bangalore team helps D2C brands develop specifications as part of the briefing process. No payment is required until a sample has been produced and approved.
Your first real production run starts with a conversation.
Share your product idea, reference, or tech pack. Tell us your quantity and timeline. We'll respond within 48 hours with honest feedback, initial pricing, and whatever questions we need answered to move forward.
