If you’re starting or growing your clothing brand, the first big decision is finding the right clothing manufacturer — one that delivers quality, speed, and reliability.

At CoreMill Apparel, we’ve helped over 100 brands turn their designs into best-selling products. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to choose the perfect manufacturer — and why so many brands worldwide work with us.

1. Know Exactly What You Need Before You Start

Before you start contacting manufacturers, get clear on your requirements:

• Product Type: Hoodies, t-shirts, activewear, streetwear, or custom fashion pieces.

• Order Size: Small batch low MOQ production or large bulk runs.

• Branding: Do you need private label clothing with custom tags, embroidery, or printing?

• Target Market: Luxury, mid-range, or budget apparel.

💡 CoreMill Tip: We specialize in both small-batch and bulk manufacturing, so you can start small and scale up without switching suppliers.

2. Choose Between Local or Overseas Manufacturing

Local Clothing Manufacturer:

• Faster delivery within your country

• Easier communication

• Higher production costs

Overseas Clothing Manufacturer:

• Lower prices for larger runs

• Access to more fabric and printing options

• Longer shipping times

🌍 CoreMill Advantage: We manufacture in Pakistan with worldwide shipping — giving you global quality at competitive prices.

3. Research Manufacturers (and Spot the Red Flags)
