Ready to launch your fashion brand? Here’s what you need to know.
Starting a private label clothing line is one of the smartest ways to grow a brand. You get to control the design, quality, labeling, and customer experience — all without the headache of running a factory yourself. But to do it right, you’ll need more than just a great idea.
At Fabix Global, we work with countless brands worldwide, guiding them through the private label process from concept to doorstep. Here’s your ultimate private label clothing checklist, so you’re fully prepared to bring your dream collection to life.
✅ 1. Your brand identity & collection concept
Before you think about samples, fabrics, or prints, get clear on:
- Your target audience: Who are they? Age, style preferences, budget?
- Your brand vibe: Minimalist, bohemian, luxury, edgy, sustainable?
- Your core collection: Tops, dresses, co-ords, loungewear — what’s your main focus?
Having a mood board or brand deck helps guide all future choices.
✅ 2. Tech packs or clear design references
A tech pack (or at minimum, detailed reference images) is key. It should include:
- Front & back sketches or inspiration photos
- Measurements & size specs
- Fabric suggestions (like viscose, cotton, linen)
- Color palettes
- Trims & finishing details (zippers, buttons, labels)
Don’t have a tech pack? No problem. At Fabix Global, we also work from photos or rough sketches and help you build specs.
✅ 3. Custom prints & patterns
If you want exclusive prints, prepare:
- Mood boards or sample prints you like
- Preferred color palettes
- Inspiration for pattern scale (large vs. small motifs)
We’ll handle turning these into print files and samples.
✅ 4. Labels, tags & packaging
Private label means your branding is front and center. You’ll need:
- Woven neck labels with your logo
- Size labels
- Wash care & composition labels
- Optional hang tags & brand packaging
If you’re new, we can produce these for you. Just provide your artwork, or we can help design it.
✅ 5. Sampling & approvals
Before bulk production, we’ll create:
- Prototypes to check fit and style
- Print strike-offs on fabric to confirm colors and placement
- Final samples that incorporate your labels and trims
Only once you’re fully happy do we move to bulk.
✅ 6. Bulk production planning
Decide:
- Quantities per style & per size
- Production timelines (allow time for sampling, final approval, then bulk)
- Any special packing or shipping requirements
At Fabix Global, we keep low MOQs (just 35 pieces per style) so you can launch smart.
✅ 7. Quality control & inspections
Professional manufacturers like us handle in-line and post-production QC. If you’d like, we can also arrange third-party inspections, giving you extra peace of mind.
✅ 8. Logistics & delivery
Finally, plan your shipment:
- Where will goods be delivered?
- What incoterms (like FOB, CIF, DDP) fit your needs?
- Do you want express or sea freight?
We handle all export documentation and coordinate worldwide shipping right to your door.
