7 Advantages of Finding Capable Private Label Apparel Manufacturers

Most designers do not maintain their own manufacturing and production units; but instead have a smaller workshop for re-designing and re-fitting works. Most of the clothes we buy in the massive retail market (both offline and online) are manufactured by independent private label clothing suppliers. Unlike the dealers who trade in bulk supplies of generic clothing; private label apparel businesses specifically follow the patterns and technicalities as instructed by the designer. The quality of production by these private label manufactures is significantly better than bulk garments manufacturers who are more common across India

Here are 7 advantages of finding and working with the very best private label apparel manufacturers for a designer or clothing brand -

#1 - Brand Protection and Identity: Working with a reputed and reliable manufacturer provides your company protection from brand identity theft. Clothes are extremely easy to imitate; and it is very difficult to identify a fake product from the genuine designer garments once they are packaged and labeled for retail! For any private label clothing suppliers or smaller designer brands; ensuring that their retail popularity and brand value does not get hampered by counterfeit products is a critical aspect of successful business.

  1. More Control Over Quality: Working with a reliable independent manufacturer gives a designer much better control over the quality of production. Since each product is tested and quality checked by two separate entities; it ensures that every garment finally reaching retail shelves has been carefully scrutinized for flaws. This is why many designers do the packaging themselves, at which stage a final quality check is done.
  2. Changing Volume of Orders: Not all the products designed by a single brand are produced in the same quantity, and certain clothes may be produced in limited stock to make them more exclusive. Most smaller private label apparel manufacturers cannot keep up with these shifting demands in volume, and end up making mistakes during the production process. As a designer, it is critical that you verify how your manufacturer can handle individual order volumes for each different design or trend that you have put up for bulk production.
  3. Mass Production and Limited Editions: Not all private label clothing suppliers are truly capable of guaranteeing the quality of work for both mass production as well as limited edition manufacturing. This is because a single team of tailors are assigned a set profile of work; and any deviation or distraction during the production is not possible. The larger manufacturers on the other hand, can have several different tailoring teams within their workshop, and manage mass production or limited editions equally well!
  4. Directly Dealing with Wholesalers: As a capable designer, you have already created a design that people would like to wear. However, to reach the retail stores and online shopping portals, you have to deal with wholesalers and distributors around the country. Some of the biggest private label apparel manufacturers also engage in wholesale and distributorship for the brands they manufacture for. This increases the volumes of sales, as well as provides the brand a reliable system to ensure that their products are reaching the right markets.
  5. Packaging, Labeling, and Presentation: Since only a handful of the private label clothing suppliers in the country also undertake packaging and labelling responsibilities; most designers take up this final responsibility themselves. However, since the new clothes should be ironed and packaged immediately after manufacturing; the delay may cause creases or wastage. Look for a capable vendor who can look after all the different aspects of final production.
  6. Easier Stock Management: When a designer is working with a reliable and capable private label apparel manufacturer for some time, stock management between these two associates becomes rather simplified. Both maintain an individual tally of raw materials procured, and finished goods ready for retail. Such a dual stock management system provides more closure on factors like wastage which are immensely important for any successful business!
