How It Works: Our Clothing Manufacturing Process, A to Z
Our clothing manufacturing process takes you from your first message to finished stock at your door. This page shows exactly what happens at each of the nine steps, with real timelines, and you approve every stage before we move to the next.
MOQ 25 pcs · Mixed colors & sizesQuote in 24 hours · Sample in 7–10 days · Bulk from 12 days · Duty-paid shipping
The Luxury Stitch clothing manufacturing process has nine steps: send your design, get a quote within 24 hours, confirm fabric and pattern, approve a sample in 7–10 days, pay a 50% advance, then bulk production from 12 days with branding and quality control, pay the balance, and receive door-to-door shipping with a duty-paid option. MOQ is 25 pieces per design.

Our clothing manufacturing process in 9 steps
Each step of our clothing manufacturing process ends with your approval. Nothing moves forward until you are happy with what you see.
Send your brief
Message us on WhatsApp or email with your design and the details above. With a tech pack we make it to spec (OEM). With just an idea, sketch or photo, we develop the design with you (ODM).

Get your quote
You get a per-design quote within 24 hours. We have no fixed price list, because the price depends on:
- Fabric type and GSM
- Quantity per design
- Printing or embroidery
- Labels, hangtags and packaging
The quote also confirms sample cost, production time and shipping options.
Fabric, trims and pattern
We confirm the fabric, GSM, colors and trims with you, and can send swatches or photos. Our pattern maker then drafts the pattern and grades it across your size chart, so every size fits the way the sample does.
Sample and approval
We make your sample and send photos and a video before it ships, so you can check it early. When it arrives, check the fit, fabric, stitching and print in your hands.
Need a change? Tell us and we revise it before bulk. Sample cost is quoted per design, and 50% of it is adjusted against your bulk order.
50% advance and bulk production
Once you approve the sample, you pay a 50% advance and bulk production starts. This is the core of the clothing manufacturing process: the fabric is cut to your approved pattern, then stitched on our sewing lines in Sialkot. Larger quantities take longer, and we confirm the exact time with your quote.
Printing, embroidery and branding
Your logo and artwork are added with the method that suits your design:
- Screen printing and puff print
- DTG printing and dye sublimation
- Heat transfer vinyl and embroidery
Then your private label neck labels, hangtags and packaging go on. Every piece carries your brand, never ours.
Quality control
Every piece is checked against your approved sample before it is packed:
- Measurements for every size
- Stitching, seams and loose threads
- Print or embroidery position and color
- Labels, trims and zips
You get photo and video updates at fabric, cutting, stitching, decoration, finishing and packing, so you see your order before it leaves.
Balance payment and shipping
When production is complete, you pay the remaining 50% and we ship door to door. Choose the option that suits you:
- Express (DAP): DHL or FedEx, 3–5 days, duties paid by you on arrival
- Duty-paid (DDP): 10–14 days, duties and taxes included
You get tracking as soon as the parcel is booked.
Delivery and reorders
Your stock arrives folded, tagged and ready to sell. We keep your approved pattern and specs on file, so a reorder skips sampling and goes straight into production once you confirm quantities.
How long does the clothing manufacturing process take?
A typical first order takes about four to six weeks from brief to delivery. Reorders are faster because sampling is already done.

|---|---|---|
| Quote | Within 24 hours | Send your design and details |
| Fabric & pattern | 1–3 days | Confirm fabric, GSM and colors |
| Sample | 7–10 days | Approve or request changes |
| Bulk production | From 12 days | Pay 50% advance, review updates |

Clothing manufacturing process FAQs
