What Affects Your Bulk Apparel Price?

Four variables drive most of the price difference. Understanding them helps you spec your order for the best cost-per-piece.

📈

Quantity

The single biggest lever. Ordering 500 pieces typically costs 25% less per unit than ordering 100 pieces — the factory amortises setup, cutting, and overhead across more units. At 1,000+ pieces you unlock the best pricing tier.

🧳

Fabric

100% combed cotton costs more than poly-cotton blends. Heavier GSM (220 vs 180) uses more yarn and raises cost by 15–20%. Premium fabrics — organic cotton, CVC, slub — carry a further premium of $0.50–$1.50/pc.

🎨

Decoration Method

Plain garments are cheapest. Screen printing adds $0.80–$2.50/pc depending on colours. Embroidery adds $0.80–$2.50/pc by stitch count. All-over sublimation is the most expensive decoration but gives unlimited colour with no extra cost per colour.

✂️

Customisation Complexity

Standard cuts (regular fit round neck, polo) are the most affordable. Custom-cut patterns — dropped shoulders, raglan sleeves, bespoke collar shapes — require new pattern making and grading, adding a one-time cost plus slightly higher per-piece CMT.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do prices include GST? +

No. All prices quoted are FOB (Free on Board) Tirupur and are for export orders, which are zero-rated under India's GST framework. You will not pay Indian GST on export orders. The commercial invoice will be issued as a GST-free export invoice. Any taxes at your destination (VAT, import duty, GST) are the buyer's responsibility.

Can I mix styles or colours in one order? +

Yes — within limits. You can mix colours of the same style to reach the MOQ (e.g., 25 black + 25 white = 50 pcs minimum). Mixing entirely different styles (e.g., polo shirts and round-neck tees) in one order is possible but each style needs its own minimum quantity, as they require separate cutting and sewing runs. We'll clarify this in your quote.

Do you offer samples before the bulk order? +

Yes. Pre-production samples are strongly recommended for any order above $2,000. Sample cost varies by product ($25–$80) and is fully credited against your bulk order. Typical sample lead time is 7–12 working days. We also offer size-set samples (one piece per size) to confirm fit before bulk cutting.

Are these prices negotiable for large volumes? +

The price tables reflect realistic market rates — they are not inflated to allow negotiation. That said, orders above 2,000 pieces, repeat orders, and multi-category orders do unlock better pricing as factory capacity planning improves. Buyers who commit to quarterly or annual volumes can lock in preferred pricing. Speak to us about volume agreements.
