A Cut and Sew Company for Brands That Want Their Own Fit
Cut and sew suits brands that have outgrown printing on blanks: they want their own silhouette, a specific fabric, or details such as panelled sleeves, hidden pockets or a particular rib. We work only with businesses, not individual consumers.
Our pattern makers, cutters and sewing lines all sit under one roof, so the person who drafted your pattern can stand beside the line when the first bulk pieces come off it.
Designers with a sketch
Bring a drawing, mood board or a garment you like. We draft the pattern, write the tech pack and sew a first fit sample for you to try on.
Brands with existing patterns
Send your graded pattern files or a reference garment. We check them against your size chart, then cut a counter-sample before quoting bulk.
Labels supplying their own fabric
If you have fabric you want used, we can work on a contract sewing basis: cut, make and trim with your material. Agree yardage and shipping to us in advance.
Cut and Sew Garments We Produce
Most knit and woven garments can be cut and sewn to your spec. These are the categories we make most, each with its own product page.
Fabrics for Cut and Sew Manufacturing
In cut and sew, fabric choice drives the pattern as much as the price: stretch knits need different seam allowances and stitches from rigid wovens. We source fabric to your weight and composition, or sew with fabric you supply.
| Fabric | Weight | Typical cut and sew use |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton jersey (combed, ring-spun, organic, heavyweight) | 120–400 GSM | Tees, tops, polos |
| French terry, brushed and bonded fleece | 220–550 GSM | Hoodies, crews, joggers, sets |
| Polyester interlock / moisture-wicking polyester | 140–240 GSM | Team shirts, training tops |
| 4-way stretch spandex, Supplex nylon | 180–400 GSM | Leggings, bras, compression |
| Denim | 8–14 oz | Jeans, jackets, skirts |
| Twill, canvas, Oxford | Workwear grade | Trousers, shirts, outerwear |
Linen, bamboo, hemp and recycled fibres can be sourced for specific styles. See the fabric selection guide for more detail.
Print, Embroidery and Labels on Cut and Sew Garments
On a cut and sew order, some decoration goes on flat panels before sewing, which gives cleaner results for large prints and placed embroidery. We plan this into the cutting stage.
Panel printing
Screen, DTG, sublimation, puff and other methods applied to cut panels or finished garments.
Our Cut and Sew Manufacturing Process in 6 Steps
Cut and sew manufacturing moves from pattern to sample to bulk, and the approved sample is the reference for every piece that follows.
1. Design review and quote
We review sketches, references or patterns and send a costed quote within 24 hours.
2. Pattern and tech pack
Our pattern makers draft and grade the pattern; measurements, tolerances and construction go into the tech pack.
3. Fit sample
A sample is cut and sewn in 7–14 business days. You try it on, mark changes, and we revise.
4. Pre-production approval
The final sample is approved in writing and becomes the bulk standard.
5. Bulk cutting and sewing
Fabric is spread and cut by marker, then sewn and decorated over 20–35 business days, with inline checks.
6. Inspection and shipping
AQL 2.5 final inspection, packing to your labels, and dispatch by sea or air, FOB or DDP.
See each stage in detail on our manufacturing process page.
How We Inspect Cut and Sew Orders
Every cut and sew order is checked on the line and again before packing, using AQL 2.5 against your approved sample.
What we watch on cut and sew work
- Panel shape and grain line after cutting
- Seam type, stitch count and seam allowance
- Graded measurements in every size
- Symmetry of pockets, panels and print placement
- Trims attached securely and in the right position
Pieces that fall outside tolerance are pulled and corrected before the lot is inspected. You receive the AQL report and photos.
Cut and Sew MOQ, Pricing and Lead Times
Our cut and sew minimum is 100 pieces per style, per colour, per size run. Sampling takes 7–14 business days and bulk 20–35 business days after approval, and the price is driven by fabric, construction and decoration.

What sets a cut and sew price
- Fabric yield. How much fabric the marker uses per garment, including waste.
- Number of panels. Each extra panel adds cutting and sewing time.
- Seam and stitch types. Flatlock, coverstitch and bound seams take longer than overlock.
- Decoration. Panel prints and embroidery add set-up and handling.
- Trims. Custom zips, labels and hardware.
- Quantity. Pattern, marker and line set-up are shared across the run.

Guide: Working With Cut and Sew Manufacturers
Cut and sew manufacturing is the process of cutting fabric into pattern pieces and sewing them into a finished garment designed by the brand. It differs from blank decoration, where a ready-made garment is printed, and from private label, where a factory’s base style is rebranded.
Cut and sew vs private label vs blanks
| Cut and sew | Private label | Printed blanks | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who owns the design | You | Factory base, your branding | Blank maker |
| Fit and fabric control | Full | Partial | None |
| Development time | Longest | Medium | Shortest |
| Typical industry minimum | Higher (ours: 100 pcs) | Medium (ours: 100 pcs) | Lowest |
| Best for | Signature products | Fast branded range | Merch and tests |
If you want our base styles with your branding instead, see private label clothing.
What cut and sew suppliers need from you
- A tech pack or reference garment, with target measurements per size
- Fabric composition and weight, or a swatch
- Trim list: zips, labels, drawcords, buttons
- Artwork files and placement for print or embroidery
- Quantities per style, colour and size, and the delivery date
Full package vs contract sewing
Full-package cut and sew services include fabric sourcing, patterns, sampling and production. Contract sewing (CMT) means you buy and ship the fabric, and the factory charges for cutting, making and trimming. CMT can lower the unit price but moves fabric risk, such as shortages and shade problems, to you.
Avoiding the usual cut and sew problems
Most issues trace back to unclear tolerances or late changes. Fix measurement tolerances in the tech pack, approve fabric before the sample, and do not change trims after pre-production approval. Ask for a shrinkage test on cotton knits so the pattern allows for it.
Cut and Sew Manufacturer FAQs
Answers to what brands ask before starting a cut and sew project with us.
What is cut and sew manufacturing?
It is making garments from scratch: fabric is cut into pattern pieces and sewn together to the brand’s own design, rather than decorating a ready-made blank.
What is the minimum order for cut and sew?
100 pieces per style, per colour, per size run. Fit and pre-production samples have no minimum.
Do I need a tech pack for cut and sew?
Not to get a quote. Sketches or a reference garment are enough to start; our pattern makers build the tech pack and pattern before sampling.
Can I supply my own fabric?
Yes. We can cut, make and trim with fabric you send us. We will confirm how much to ship, allowing for cutting waste.
How long does cut and sew production take?
Samples take 7–14 business days and bulk 20–35 business days after written sample approval. Shipping is in addition.
Is cut and sew more expensive than private label?
Usually yes per style, because it needs a new pattern and samples. The trade-off is a garment no one else can buy from the same factory.
Do you work with USA brands?
Yes. We make cut and sew garments for USA brands and ship FOB or DDP. Our factory is in Sialkot, Pakistan.
