Bring your own tech pack and we build it exactly — OEM. Bring an idea and our design team develops it with you — ODM. Same factory in Sialkot, same sampling, same standard of finish.
02Two roads
On the left, the buyer who arrives with a full tech pack. On the right, the buyer who arrives with an idea. Move the line to see where your project sits — most land somewhere in between.
OEM 50 · ODM 50Hybrid — your spec, our design help
You send a tech pack — flats, measurements, materials, colours, artwork. We pattern it, sample it and produce it to that spec, and flag anything that will not make well before it costs you a sample.
You send the idea — references, a mood board, a garment you like, the customer you sell to. Our design team turns it into a spec, proposes fabrics and trims, then samples it for your approval.
03Route finder
Answer honestly — there is no wrong route. The result tells you what to send so the first reply is a useful one, and it moves the line above to match.
Your tech pack and measurements lead. We clarify, pattern, sample and produce to them.
You bring part of the spec — measurements, a reference garment or a design — and we develop the rest with you.
Our design team develops the product from your brief and references, then samples it for approval.
04What changes hands
The more of the left column you have, the sooner a quote is accurate. Missing pieces are normal — they are what the ODM side of the team is for.

05Side by side
The same factory, sampling and checks sit behind all three columns. What changes is who writes the spec. Commercial rows are confirmed per style in your quote.

06Sampling & approval
Both roads meet here. Every project goes through the same sampling and sign-off, so the full run is checked against something you have held in your hands.
We read everything you send and list questions and gaps.

07Private label
OEM or ODM, the garment ships as yours. Labels, tags and packaging are specified in the brief, made with the sample and checked with the run.

08Before you enquire
Straight answers. Anything commercial — minimums, timing, prices — is set per style and confirmed in your quote.
With OEM (original equipment manufacturing) you supply the design — usually a tech pack with flats, measurements, materials and artwork — and the factory builds it to that spec. With ODM (original design manufacturing) the factory’s design team develops the product with you from a brief, references or an idea, then samples and produces it under your brand.
No. A complete tech pack makes OEM fastest to quote, but references, a garment you like, sketches or a mood board are enough to start on the ODM or hybrid route. We tell you what is missing and help fill the gaps.
Most real projects sit between the two: you have measurements or a reference garment but want help with artwork, colourways or trims, or you have a design but no patterns. We take what you have and develop the rest, so you only pay attention where it is needed.
Ownership of designs, patterns and tech packs developed for you is agreed in writing in your quote before development starts. Your own artwork and brand assets always remain yours.
Minimums are set per style, not per route, and confirmed in your quote. Development work for ODM styles is quoted separately when it applies.
Yes. Private label is the norm: woven neck labels, care labels, swing tags, polybags and carton marks in your branding. List each item in your brief so it is included in the sample and the quote.
The sampling plan — how many rounds and what each covers — is written into your quote. The goal is one approved sample that becomes the reference for the whole run.
Yes. Once a style is developed and approved, its spec is on file, so re-orders and new colourways run like an OEM order from that approved reference.

Tell us what you are making. A tech pack, a reference photo or a sketch on a napkin all work. We reply with questions, the route that fits (OEM or ODM), sampling steps and a quote.
