What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for corporate uniform manufacturing?
Our standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is 200 pieces per style/colorway. Within that 200-unit order, you can split sizing freely across S, M, L, XL, 2XL, and up to 5XL at no extra charge. We also provide pre-production fit samples (1–3 physical garments) for sign-off prior to releasing bulk production lines.
Why choose an Istanbul uniform manufacturer over suppliers in East or South Asia?
Istanbul offers three strategic advantages: Geographical Proximity & Speed: Truck shipments to continental Europe take 3–7 transit days versus 30–40 days by sea from Asia. Tax & Tariff Exemption: Türkiye’s Customs Union agreement with the EU allows duty-free entry via EUR.1 documentation. Superior Fabric Quality: Access to premium Turkish long-staple cotton ensures superior soft hand-feel, durability, and low color fading.
What is the expected lead time from sampling to final shipment?
Initial commercial quotations are returned within 24 to 48 hours of specification receipt. Sample pattern making and physical sample creation require 7 to 10 business days. Upon sample sign-off, bulk production takes 2 to 3 weeks for standard knitted polos, t-shirts, and fleece, and 3 to 4 weeks for technical workwear, denim, or specialized outerwear.
Can you develop complete tech packs if we only have design sketches or reference samples?
Yes. Our in-house pattern making and fashion engineering department can build production-ready digital tech packs directly from design sketches, high-resolution photographs, or physical reference samples. We specify graded measurement charts, seam allowances, stitch-per-inch callouts, fabric weights (GSM), and artwork placement diagrams.
How is garment quality controlled during bulk manufacturing?
We operate a 4-Stage Quality Inspection Framework: 1) 4-Point System fabric inspection on raw mill rolls; 2) Hourly in-line sewing checks on needle tension and seam integrity; 3) AQL 2.5 (Acceptable Quality Limit) statistical inspection covering color fastness, logo alignment, and sizing tolerance; 4) Photo-documented pre-shipment carton audits before sealing.
Which custom decoration and branding techniques are produced in-house?
Our Istanbul manufacturing unit executes screen printing up to 8 colors (plastisol, eco water-based, discharge, puff print), 3D silicone heat seal transfers, all-over dye sublimation, Direct-to-Garment (DTG), and high-density multi-head embroidery (flat, satin, 3D puff, woven patches, and applique).
What export shipping terms and customs documentation do you provide?
We support flexible Incoterms including EXW, FOB Istanbul, CFR, CIF, and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) directly to your corporate warehouse in the EU, UK, USA, UAE, or Canada. We supply full commercial invoices, packing lists, Certificates of Origin, EUR.1 certificates, and HS Code classifications for frictionless customs processing.
Do you offer eco-friendly and certified sustainable uniform options?
Yes. We offer GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified organic cotton fabrics, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 non-toxic dyed yarns, and recycled polyester blends (rPET). All sustainable fabrics come with mill verification certificates to support your enterprise's sustainability compliance.
