There are two types of orders that an apparel wholesale manufacturer can process: bulk orders and orders in small quantities. The organization in the sewing workshop is completely different.

Young professionals tend to quit their jobs and start something of their own. With work experience in the garment manufacturing, we are primarily looking for business opportunities in this industry. With that in mind, I've shared some small business ideas related to the apparel product and some business ideas are services to the apparel industry.

1) Big quantity order:

When the apparel manufacturer orders a large number of medium to large customers in large quantities, the wholesale price will be low. The gross margin per unit produced is quite low, but is offset by the large amount produced. Bulk orders usually mean more than 5000 pieces.

With this kind of quantity, you can set up a production line. Sometimes it takes a whole day to organize the production line. This means that the sewing machines are physically moved so that they are conveniently aligned with the particular clothing being produced. It requires expensive skills, the skills of mid-to-senior production workers.

Once this build is complete, the chain will run almost of its own accord with labor costs (less expensive). Two to three days after the start of production, productivity increases because the sewage system has got used to the new production line. When productivity increases, the apparel maker makes a profit while offering apparel at a very competitive price.

2) Small quantity order:

The other possible situation for a clothing manufacturer is to get orders from smaller customers. The price per unit is different (higher) as the organization involved is different. With a small amount of clothes, say less than 5000 pieces, it is useless to organize a production line. A team of 20 to 30 seamstresses can produce 5,000 pieces in about a week or more, depending on the clothes ordered.

Storing a small amount of clothing makes the clothing making game completely different for the clothing maker:

• The apparel manufacturer cannot waste a day organizing a production line, it takes more time than the time saved by increasing productivity.

• In the few days in which this small order is produced by the sewer system, the company also prepares the next order.

Client file translation, sourcing, cutting, printing or embroidery must be done before sewing.

Therefore, small orders are processed by a special department at the clothing manufacturers. This department is usually made up of highly skilled managers and seamstresses who take on all of the costs of mass producing clothes, but these costs are broken down into small quantities, hence the unit price.

3) The right amount for you:

If you'd like a small run of your own design, it's best to speak to one of the advisors at Ellen Clothing Manufacturer. Your contact person will help you to determine the best order quantity for your company.

The ideal amount for your business isn't necessarily the smallest. the right amount can also be less than you think. It all depends on several factors: the style of clothing and the targeted wholesale price. When it comes to the size of your short runs, other technical considerations such as sourcing, printing, dyeing, or stone washing should be considered as they may have a fixed fee.

Let's take a simple example of a customer looking for a t-shirt supplier for a small run of t-shirts. The cost of dyeing fabrics is about $ 200. These costs are the same if 50 or 200 t-shirts are ordered, as the cost depends on the dyeing time, which is the same for 50 meters of fabric or 200 meters.
