CMT means Cut, Make, Trim. You supply your own fabric and we handle the production: fabric cutting, garment assembly, and finishing. Yes, we offer CMT. We also offer full-package production where we source and supply all materials ourselves. Most brands starting out go full-package. Brands with existing supplier relationships often prefer CMT.

Yes. "Full package" means we take care of everything: fabric sourcing, pattern making, fabric cutting, sewing, finishing, quality control, and shipping. You hand us your brief and we deliver a finished product. No supplier coordination on your end.

Yes. Our in-house pattern-making team works from tech packs, sketches, or reference garments. We draft the pattern, build the sample, and revise until the fit and construction are exactly right. Bulk production does not start until you approve every detail of the sample.

Our minimum is 50 pieces per color and per design. As a low MOQ clothing manufacturer, that threshold was set deliberately so startups and small brands can access real production without going deep into inventory risk. Larger orders get priority scheduling and better per-unit pricing.

Samples typically arrive within 25 to 30 business days. Once you approve the sample, bulk clothing production runs 4 to 8 weeks depending on order complexity and quantity. As a fast turnaround manufacturer, we build your production timeline on day one so your launch date is protected from the start.

Large factories typically require 300 to 500 units per style. Tack Apparel runs as a low MOQ clothing manufacturer, starting at 50 pieces per color and design. That makes us one of the most accessible options for custom clothing for small businesses, new brands, and founders placing their first production run.

Absolutely. Tack Apparel operates specifically as a clothing manufacturer for small business owners and early-stage brand founders. Low MOQ starting at 50 units, private labeling, dedicated account management, and a process designed to be approachable even if this is your first time working with a manufacturer.

Get something on paper first. A sketch, a reference garment, or a basic tech pack with your measurements and fabric preferences. Then find a made to order clothing manufacturer that works specifically with small brands. At Tack Apparel, you fill out a quote form with your concept and someone walks you through the rest. No industry knowledge required. We are the manufacturer to make my clothing designs kind of operation, not a factory that only talks to buyers with 10-year relationships.

Depends on what matters most to your brand. Overseas factories can be cheaper per unit. But you are looking at 90 to 120 day lead times, expensive shipping, import fees, and a real communication gap. Working with custom clothing manufacturers in the USA means your samples arrive in 25 to 30 days, your account manager is in your time zone, and when something goes sideways you can actually talk to someone who fixes it. For most growing brands, the speed and reliability is worth every penny of the difference.
