Our 7-Step OEM/ODM Manufacturing & Export Process
We have streamlined athletic apparel manufacturing into a predictable, transparent 7-step system that guarantees consistent quality, exact sizing, and prompt on-schedule dispatch for every production run.
1
Tech Pack & Specification Review
Our apparel engineers analyze your design mockups, tech packs, measurement charts, and bill of materials (BOM). If you don't have a technical pack, our in-house design studio will assist you in creating production-ready digital files.
2
Pre-Production Prototyping & Lab Dips (7–10 Days)
We build complete physical pre-production samples with your exact logos, Pantone color matching, and custom trims. Samples are dispatched via DHL/FedEx Express for your fit, fabric, and design sign-off.
3
Fabric Milling, Knitting & Pre-Shrink Washing
Bulk yarn is knitted and dyed in certified facilities adhering to international eco-standards. All fabrics undergo pre-shrinkage wash treatments to ensure dimensional stability under 3% post-wash shrinkage.
4
Precision CAD Grading & Automated Cutting
Digital CAD patterns are graded across the complete size spectrum (from Youth XS to Adult 5XL). Multi-ply automated fabric cutters ensure millimeter-level cutting accuracy across all garment panels.
5
High-Definition Printing, Embroidery & Stitching
Panels are branded via full-dye Italian sublimation inks, high-density screen printing, 3D silicone puff prints, or multi-head embroidery. Industrial flat-lock and 4-needle overlock sewing machines assemble each garment with reinforced stress points.
6
4-Point Inline & Final Quality Assurance
Every individual unit is inspected for loose threads, stitching tension, color consistency, and dimensional compliance against your approved spec sheet. Defective pieces are immediately rejected and replaced.
7
Custom Private Label Packaging & Worldwide DDP Delivery
Garments are pressed, folded, fitted with your custom barcode hangtags, and packed in branded frosted polybags. Shipments depart via air express (DHL/FedEx, 4–6 days) or container sea freight directly to your warehouse with customs duties paid (DDP).
Low MOQ Sportswear Manufacturing for Startups & Emerging Brands
One of the greatest hurdles for new athletic apparel founders is the excessive 500+ piece minimum order quantities imposed by traditional mass-production factories. At Sports Outlines, we believe in incubating new brands. Our flexible production lines allow you to start with an accessible minimum order quantity of just 30 to 50 pieces per design/colorway, with multiple size distributions (e.g. S, M, L, XL).
Complete OEM Private Label Customization Suite:
Woven & Heat-Transfer Labels
Seamless heat-sealed neck labels for tagless comfort, or high-density woven damask labels sewn into the collar seam.
Debossed Hangtags & Barcodes
Thick 350+ GSM kraft or matte black cardstock tags with metallic foil debossing, eyelets, wax cords, and scannable retail EAN/UPC barcodes.
Branded Zipper Polybags
