Minimum order and delivery time, explained
How many pieces you need, how long production takes and what happens on each day, explained by our production team in Ajman.
What 50 pieces per design means
The minimum counts designs, not total pieces. One design is one garment style, in one fabric colour, with the same logo setup.
Sizes never make a new design: one design runs from XS to 5XL, trousers by waist 28 to 48, or individual measurements for each person. Two colours of the same shirt are two designs, so each colour needs its own 50 pieces.

3Why orders start at 50 pieces
Every new design needs work before the first piece is sewn, and that work takes the same time for 5 pieces as for 50. From 50 pieces per design, it is shared across enough uniforms to keep the price per piece fair. Every order is priced for your quantity, style, fabric and logo work.
