Home/How It Works

How it works.

Four ways to work with us, one factory behind all of it. Whether you're an individual ordering for an event, a brand, a sourcing agent, or a team kitting your roster, pick your track below and we'll walk you through exactly what happens from first message to delivered goods.

01 / For Individuals

Custom gear for your idea.

Ordering for a family event, a small business, a one-off gift, or just yourself? You don't need to be a brand or a team. Tell us what you want, we'll handle the rest.

20+

Start from 20 pieces.

The same fabric, print, and finish we give our biggest brands — just at a size that suits a single event or a small run. Mix sizes freely.

The Process

Four simple steps.

No tech pack, no jargon, no commitment to start. You tell us the idea, we walk you through everything else.

01
Tell us what you want

Share your idea.

Message us with what you're making, roughly how many, and any design references — a logo, a colour, a photo, even a rough sketch. We reply within 24 hours with a free quote.

02 / For Brands

We build. You brand.
Everyone wins.

Full-service OEM and white-label apparel manufacturing for brands at every stage. First collection, second season, full-scale seasonal production, we run the same playbook for all of it.

Our Approach

End-to-end manufacturing. Zero middlemen.

When you work with ZALI, you're working directly with the factory. No agents, no brokers, no markups in between. Every step of your garment's journey, from pattern development to final quality check, happens under our roof in Sialkot.

  • Custom pattern development from your tech pack or measurements
  • Fabric sourcing across our certified mill network
  • Sublimation, DTF, screen, embroidery and heat transfer in-house
  • In-line QC at every production stage, not just at the end
  • Custom branding on every label, polybag, and hangtag
  • International shipping direct to your warehouse or 3PL
25+

One MOQ, no fine print.

25 pieces per style across most categories. The same minimum on your first order and your hundredth. Lower MOQ on selected items by arrangement, talk to us.

03 / For Suppliers

A factory you can send your clients to.

We work with buying agents, sourcing consultants, trading companies, and resellers who need a reliable manufacturing partner behind them. White-label friendly, NDA-friendly, no poaching, ever.

Our Commitment

Consistent. Communicative. Production-ready.

The biggest headaches in supplier work aren't design or pricing, they're quality inconsistency, missed deadlines, and factories that go quiet mid-production. We've built our operations around solving exactly those problems.

  • Direct factory communication, not a sales layer
  • Documented QC reports available per production batch
  • Clear milestone updates at every stage of production
  • Flexible labeling, your brand, your client's brand, or white-label
  • Competitive ex-factory pricing that leaves room for your margin
  • NDA-friendly, we never poach your clients
Process for Suppliers

Clean process, every time.

Four steps from your client's brief to their door. Same process every time, same person handling your account, same QC reports landing in your inbox.

01
Brief

Send the brief.

Forward your client's tech pack, artwork, and quantity. We quote within 16 hours with full pricing, timeline, and shipping — ready for you to forward, mark up, or rebrand. NDA signed on request.

Quality Control

Four checks before boxing.

Every piece, every order. Defects pulled and remade, not shipped. The same QC discipline whether you're ordering 25 pieces or 5,000.

Check 01

Print Integrity

Color accuracy against approved sample, registration, edge bleed, and print clarity at fold lines.

Check 02

Stitch Quality

Seam strength tested by hand, stitch density on stress points, no skipped stitches or loose threads.

Check 03

Dimensional Spec

Every size measured against your spec sheet. Chest, length, sleeve, hem, all within ±1cm tolerance.

Check 04

Trim & Label

Hangtags placed correctly, neck label applied, polybag sealed, sticker positioned where you spec'd.

Common Questions

Frequently asked.

The questions we get most often from brands, suppliers, and teams. Don't see yours? Send it through, we usually reply within 24 hours.

Do you offer player numbering and name printing?
For Teams
Yes, names and numbers are sublimated directly into the garment (not a heat transfer or vinyl) for a clean, permanent finish that doesn't crack or peel over time. We support mixed rosters too: send us your size + name + number list and every piece is individually labeled at packaging.
Can I see a physical sample before committing to the full run?
For Brands · For Teams
Always, and we'd rather you did. A pre-production sample costs $80-150 depending on the product, and the cost is fully refunded against your bulk order. Sample turnaround is 10-15 days for most categories. We never run bulk without a signed-off PPS.
What's the actual MOQ?
For Brands · For Teams
25 pieces per style across most categories, including full kits (jersey + shorts) at 25 sets. The same MOQ on your first order and your hundredth, we don't quote 25 to win you, then bump it later. Lower MOQ on selected items by arrangement; just ask.
How long does an order actually take from start to finish?
For All
Sample takes 10-15 working days. Bulk production runs 7-12 working days depending on order size and product complexity. Air freight is 5-10 days to most destinations. Realistic end-to-end estimate is 1-2 weeks for most orders, 5-7 weeks for hoodies/heavy casualwear or orders shipping by sea freight.
Do you ship internationally? What about duties?
For All
Yes, worldwide. Default is DDP shipping (Duties Delivered Paid) via DHL, FedEx, or UPS, meaning the price you see in our quote is the price at your door, no surprise customs fees. Sea freight is available for orders over 1,000 pieces with longer lead times.
Do you do white-label / unbranded production?
For Suppliers · For Brands
Yes, we apply your brand's neck labels, hangtags, polybag stickers, and care labels as standard. Plain packaging with no ZALI branding is the default for suppliers; we never include marketing inserts or business cards in your client shipments unless you ask us to.
Can I send a tech pack, or do you create patterns from scratch?
For Brands · For Suppliers
Both. Send us a full tech pack and we'll match it exactly. Don't have one? Send measurements, reference photos, or even a Pinterest board and our pattern team will develop a custom pattern for you. Pattern development is included free with bulk orders.
Do you sign NDAs? Will you protect my client list?
For Suppliers
Yes to both. We sign mutual NDAs as standard and we have a hard "no poaching" policy, your clients stay your clients, and we never reach out to them directly. We've worked with sourcing agents and trading companies long enough to know that's the foundation the relationship runs on.
