Full-package clothing manufacturing from just 50 pieces per style — so you can launch, test the market and reorder your winners without gambling on a container of stock you haven't sold yet.
High minimums force new brands to over-produce and tie up cash in unsold stock. A 50-piece MOQ lets you test, learn and reinvest in what actually sells.
Put real product in front of customers before committing to volume you can't yet justify.
Low riskKeep capital free instead of locking it into a warehouse of unsold inventory.
Less capital tiedSpread the same budget across more styles and colourways to find your bestsellers.
Wider rangeTweak fit, fabric and detail between small runs instead of being stuck with a bulk mistake.
Fast learningScale only the styles that sell, with reorders turned around in 2–4 weeks.
2–4 wk restockMake to demand, not to a forecast — less deadstock, less markdown, less waste.
Made to demandThe same full-package process as our bulk manufacturing — sourcing, sampling, production and QC — just run at a size that suits a launch.
Send your pack; we quote per-piece cost at 50 and higher tiers.
We source fabric and trims, flagging any low-MOQ fabric minimums.
Approve a proto and PPS before the run — same as any order.
Cut, sew and 100% inspect your 50-piece run.
We ship DDP; reorder winners in 2–4 weeks.
Low MOQ carries a modest per-piece premium — the trade-off for not over-producing. Indicative for a mid-weight tee; your quote depends on garment and fabric.
Sampling costs are credited against your first production run. Get exact pricing in 24 hours →
We handle fabric, trims, cutting, sewing and finishing — not just assembly.
Every piece in a low-MOQ run is inspected, the same standard as bulk.
Split your 50 across the size curve however your customers order.
Delivered duty paid to the UK, USA and Europe, ready to sell.
Start at 50 pieces to prove a style, then scale the winners on the same line, with the same team and the same quality — no switching factories as you grow.
High-MOQ factories are cheaper per piece but force over-production; print-on-demand is flexible but caps quality and margin. Low-MOQ full-package sits in between.
| High-MOQ factory | Print-on-demand | Fabrickly Low-MOQ | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum order | 300–1,000+ | 1 piece | 50 pieces |
| Per-piece cost | Lowest | Highest | Mid — drops with volume |
| Custom construction | Yes | No (stock blanks) | Full cut-and-sew |
| Upfront risk | High | None | Low |
| Quality control | Batch sampling | Variable | 100% inspected |
| Path to scale | Already there | Limited | Same line to bulk |
Most of our categories start at 50 pieces per style. What changes from product to product is the fabric, and that is where small runs need the most planning.
| Product | Why it works at 50 pieces | What to plan for |
|---|---|---|
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | Fleece from 240gsm French terry to 480gsm loopback, with a wide range of stock colours. | Custom-dyed fleece can carry a fabric roll minimum. Garment dye is a good way to get a unique colour on a small run. |
| T-shirts & polos | Jersey and piqué are easy to source in small quantities, so tees are the classic first product. | Choose GSM early: it changes drape, opacity and how the print sits. |
| Streetwear | Boxy blocks, heavyweight fabrics and raised prints are everyday work for us. | Puff and high-density prints need a strike-off before bulk. |
| Denim | Small denim runs are possible when the fabric comes from an available stock range. | Washes change size and colour. Allow for shrinkage in the pattern and approve the wash on a sample. |
| Activewear | Technical styles are made at our specialist partner facility in China. | Performance fabrics often have mill minimums. We flag them on your quote before you commit. |
| Knitwear | Knit styles can be developed in small quantities. | Yarn is bought per colour, so fewer colourways keep a small run efficient. |

A small run only works if the pieces sell. These three decisions make the biggest difference to sell-through.
A typical unisex curve for 50 pieces might be XS 3, S 9, M 14, L 13, XL 8, XXL 3. If you already sell online, your own size data beats any template.
SizesGet the fit right on the proto and fit sample first. Adding colours is easy on a reorder; fixing a fit after bulk is not.
FitKeep the approved PPS as the reference for every reorder, so your second run matches the first.
ReorderLow MOQ costs more per piece than mass production. These choices close the gap without cutting quality.
Send your tech pack and get a per-piece quote across 50, 150 and 500+ tiers in 24 hours — so you can start small and scale what works.
