Service file · Private label
Your label. A production line that can repeat it.
From a WWTop Yupoo reference to a signed sample and a repeatable specification. We map fabric, fit, trims, labels, and packing — and put the costs and minimums in writing before the first stitch.
No brand assets from another company. Private label means your brand, your artwork, and your written authority to use it.
Catalogue lens
From a catalogue reference to a tech pack.
A reference tells you what you want the product to feel like. A tech pack tells a factory how to make it. The work between those two documents is where most private-label projects either become repeatable or stay a one-off.
Separate the design idea from the brand
Silhouette, fabric surface, colour direction, and decoration placement can be discussed without copying a logo or protected artwork. The output is a new, original product definition.
Write measurements, not adjectives
Chest, body length, shoulder drop, sleeve opening, and a graded size curve. Add fabric composition, weight, shrinkage, trims, and a tolerance for each critical measure.
Put your label on a product you can own
Woven labels, care labels, hangtags, and packaging are separate cost lines. You confirm that you own or are licensed to use every mark supplied.
Private label is not a licence to copy. We decline work that depends on another company’s intellectual property, including look-alike branding, logos, and distinctive trade dress.

What “private label” actually covers.
The phrase is used loosely. We separate product development, branding, and production so you can see what each one costs and who is responsible.
Fit and construction
Pattern, measurements, grading, seams, trims, and the sample comment sheet that locks them.
Fabric and trims
Swatches, weight, composition, shrinkage, colour lab dips, ribbing, zips, and thread.
Labels and packaging
Woven or printed labels, care labels, hangtags, polybags, and carton marks — with your artwork.
First article
One physical sample, measured and reviewed against the spec before any bulk commitment.
Bulk and inspection
Cutting, sewing, decoration, in-line checks, final inspection, and packing.
Terms and recourse
MOQ, lead time, Incoterm, defect window, payment account, and the remedy if bulk misses the sample.
Process
Five stages, each with a written output.
The timeline below is a planning window. Fabric availability, artwork approval, and factory capacity can extend any stage.
Brief and reference
Fit, fabric, use, quantity, destination, and label requirements.
2–5 daysSpecification
Measurements, construction, trims, colours, and artwork placement.
3–7 daysFactory match
Shortlist verified factories against the spec and minimum.
3–7 daysSample round
First sample, measurements, comments, and corrections.
10–15 daysApproval
Signed sample, locked spec, purchase order, and deposit.
2–4 days
Cost structure
Five costs, never one mystery number.
A private-label quote should separate what you are buying. When the product, service, tooling, and freight are bundled into a single unit price, you cannot compare suppliers or see what changes when the spec changes.
Scroll the table sideways if needed.
| Cost | What it covers | How it is quoted |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Fabric, trims, cut, sew, decoration, packing | Unit price at the agreed quantity |
| Sampling | Sample make, fabric, freight, and corrections | Per sample round, with credit terms stated |
| Tooling | Print screens, embroidery discs, custom labels | One-off set-up, itemised |
| Sourcing service | Specification, factory verification, follow-up | Fixed project fee or agreed percentage |
| Freight and duty | Transport, insurance, customs, delivery | Quoted separately by Incoterm |
What we need to quote
- Product category and reference
- Target quantity and size curve
- Fabric direction or sample
- Colour count and artwork status
- Label and packaging requirements
- Destination and delivery deadline
IP and brand safety
You confirm that you own or are licensed to use every logo, artwork, and label supplied. We decline work that depends on another company’s intellectual property, including look-alike branding.
Fit
Who private label suits — and who it does not.
A good fit
- You have a clear customer and a product direction
- You can commit to a sample round and a written spec
- You have brand assets you own or are licensed to use
- You can plan for 100–300 pieces per colour
Not a good fit
- You need a branded or counterfeit product
- You want one piece at bulk pricing
- You cannot approve a sample or a written spec
- You need delivery in days, not production weeks
FAQ
Questions buyers ask
If your question is not here, send a brief. We answer in plain language, with conditions.
What does private label include?
A private-label project usually covers the garment specification, fabric and trim selection, your woven or printed label, care label, hangtag, and packaging. It can also include pattern development, grading, sample iterations, and production inspection. The exact scope is written in the project brief before work starts.
Do I need a full tech pack?
No, but the more complete the reference, the fewer sample rounds you pay for. A measurement chart, fabric direction, construction notes, decoration placement, label content, and target quantity are enough to start. We can help turn a reference garment into a specification.
What is the minimum for private label?
It depends on the fabric and the number of colours. Stock fabric and a simple construction may start around 100–200 pieces per colour. Custom-knit or custom-dyed fabric usually starts higher, often 300+ pieces per colour. The written quote states the minimum before sampling.
Who owns the pattern and the artwork?
Ownership should be written in the agreement. As a default, you own the artwork and brand assets you supply, and the factory owns its pre-existing patterns and technical know-how. A purpose-built pattern can be assigned to you in the contract. Do not rely on an implied assumption.
Can you copy a garment I like?
We can use an unbranded garment for fit and construction analysis. We do not reproduce another company’s protected artwork, logos, or distinctive trade dress. If the reference is branded, the final product must remove all brand identifiers and must not be a counterfeit or an infringing copy.
How many sample rounds should I plan for?
Two rounds is a realistic planning assumption for a new private-label style: one first sample and one correction sample. Complex construction, custom fabric, or several colourways can require more. Each round has a cost and a lead time that should be agreed up front.
