Frequently Asked Questions

B2B Buyer FAQ: White Label Sportswear Sourcing

Addressing common queries asked by brand managers, procurement directors, and e-commerce buyers when sourcing activewear from Pakistan.

1. What is the fundamental difference between white label sportswear, private label sportswear, and OEM manufacturing?

White Label Sportswear utilizes pre-engineered, factory-tested clothing patterns and technical fabric styles that are kept ready in production lines. Buyers select from these existing silhouettes and apply their own custom logos, woven neck labels, hang tags, and brand colors without paying pattern-making or tooling fees. Time-to-market is very rapid (15–25 days).

Private Label Sportswear involves minor design modifications to existing templates—such as adjusting sleeve lengths, adding zipper pockets, or modifying panel mesh inserts—to create an exclusive silhouette for a single brand.

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) requires manufacturing sportswear entirely from a buyer's proprietary Tech Pack, including bespoke pattern grading, specialized fabric knitting, and custom trim development. OEM has higher minimum order requirements (300–1,000 pcs) and longer sampling lead times.

2. What is the typical Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for white label sportswear?

At CedarEx Sports Global, our standard MOQ for white label sportswear, sublimated jerseys, and athletic tracksuits is 50 pieces per design. Within that 50-piece minimum, buyers are permitted to mix standard sizing ratios (e.g., 10x S, 15x M, 15x L, 10x XL). For specialized gear such as hand-stitched soccer match balls or professional boxing gloves, MOQs start at 100 pieces/pairs per design. Carbon fibre padel rackets carry a flexible MOQ of 50 pieces.

3. What details should be included in a Tech Pack for sportswear manufacturing?

A comprehensive Tech Pack ensures seamless communication between brand designers and factory stitchers. An ideal Tech Pack should include:

  • Vector Artwork Files: High-resolution AI, EPS, or PDF files with Pantone (PMS) color codes for print registration.
  • Fabric Specifications: Preferred fabric weight (GSM), fiber composition (e.g., 88% Recycled Polyester / 12% Elastane), and finishing treatments (moisture-wicking, anti-bacterial, UV 50+).
  • Measurement Spec Sheet: Detailed point-of-measure (POM) charts across all size ranges (chest, body length, sleeve length, leg opening).
  • Trim & Label Placement: Clear diagrams specifying heat-transfer neck label dimensions, silicone chest logo positioning, and care tag instructions.
4. How does CedarEx enforce Quality Control (QC) and factory social compliance?

Quality control is integrated into every phase of production rather than checked at the end. We execute a 4-tier QA protocol:

  1. Raw Material Inspection: Testing fabric GSM, color fastness to washing/sweat, lab-dip color matching under D65 light boxes, and elastane recovery.
  2. In-Line Stitching Audits: Checking needle tension, seam strength, stitch-per-inch (SPI) counts, and zipper durability mid-run.
  3. AQL 2.5 Final Random Inspection: Sampling completed garments according to ISO 2859-1 standards for dimensional stability, loose threads, and branding alignment.
  4. Container Loading Audit: Verifying carton gross weight, barcode scans, inner polybag seals, and desiccant placement.

All partner facilities comply strictly with WRAP, SEDEX/SMETA, amfori BSCI, ISO 9001:2015, and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 regulations. Zero child labor is strictly enforced.

5. What are the lead times for pre-production sampling and bulk export shipping?

Sampling Lead Time: Digital mockups are completed in 24–48 hours. Physical pre-production samples require 7 to 10 working days following artwork and material approval.

Bulk Manufacturing: Production takes 20 to 30 calendar days depending on order volume and decoration complexity.

Global Transit Times:

  • Air Express (DHL/FedEx): 5–8 working days door-to-door worldwide.
  • Sea Freight to EU / UK Ports: 18–24 calendar days.
  • Sea Freight to North America (East/West Coast): 28–35 calendar days.
  • Rail Freight to Continental Europe: 22–26 calendar days.
6. How do Incoterms work, and how does the EU partner office support European buyers?

We offer flexible Incoterms including FOB Karachi, CFR, CIF, and fully Delivered Duty Paid (DDP). Under DDP terms, CedarEx handles all customs tariffs, import clearance, and freight insurance, delivering goods directly to your warehouse with no hidden port fees.

For European buyers, our EU partner desk—Penta Flora SRL located at Via Salaria 180D, Monterotondo (RM), Italy—simplifies cross-border trade by handling EU VAT documentation, EUR1 origin statements under Pakistan's GSP+ status (enabling 0% import duty on select textiles), and local European banking transfers.
