Direct Answer
Brandex Sourcing is a Bangladesh-based private-label apparel manufacturer for Australian startup and growing brands that want small, honest production runs without the volumes big factories demand. You can start from a MOQ of 50 pieces per style and colour at roughly $2–$8 per unit before shipping, with physical samples ready in about 7 days and DDP delivery to Australia so duty, GST handling and clearance are settled before your cartons reach Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth. We make the lightweight knits and activewear Australian brands sell most — tees, tanks, hoodies, joggers, leggings and performance tops — all to your private-label spec.

Why Australia brands manufacture in Bangladesh
Local Australian manufacturing is limited and expensive, so most growing labels source offshore from the start. At $2–$8 per unit from Bangladesh before freight, an Australian brand protects the margin it needs to fund marketing and reorders rather than spending it all on production. Bangladesh's strength in cotton jersey and performance knits maps directly onto what sells in Australia — lightweight tees, tanks, activewear and athleisure that work in a warm climate for most of the year.
- Unit economics that survive Australian freight distances and still leave margin
- MOQ 50 per style/colour, so a first drop can span several colourways
- Strong capability in lightweight cotton, jersey and moisture-managing performance knits
Australia local vs China vs Bangladesh — compared
Australian-made carries a genuine story and the shortest lead time, but the unit cost puts it out of reach for most emerging brands. China competes hard on price at volume yet usually starts at 300–1,000+ pieces per colour. Bangladesh sits in the middle when you need low MOQ, solid knit quality and a landed price into Australia — and if your range needs technical outerwear or 10-piece runs, we will say so rather than take the order.
- MOQ: Australia 20–100 at high cost, China 300–1,000+, Brandex 50 per style/colour
- Price/unit: Australia AUD $30–$70+, China $3–$9, Brandex $2–$8
- Sampling: Australia fast but costly, China 10–20 days, Brandex about 7 days with DDP to Australia included
What you can make
We manufacture apparel only, and knit basics and activewear are our core — which is where most Australian brands build their range. Everything is produced to your tech pack and finished with your own labels and packing. We do not make caps, bags or accessories; if it is a knitted or cut-and-sewn garment, it is in our lane.
- T-shirts and tanks in organic and combed cotton, including heavyweight and oversized fits
- Hoodies, crewnecks and joggers in brushed fleece and French terry for cooler months
- Activewear, performance tops, leggings and cycling shorts for your own private label
How it works
Send your tech pack — measurements, fabric, colours, plus your labelling and packing spec for Australian retail — or send a reference garment and we help build the spec. We produce a 7-day physical sample so you sign off on fit, fabric and finish before bulk, then run production from MOQ 50 per style/colour. Because Australian seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, we plan production dates backwards from your on-sale date so stock lands when your season actually starts.
- 7-day sample to approve fit, fabric and finish before bulk, with revisions until it is right
- Bulk from 50 pieces per style/colour, then QC inspection on every order
- DDP to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth: freight, duty, GST handling and clearance covered
Buyer Questions This Page Answers
- How long does DDP shipping from Bangladesh to Australia take, and are duty and GST included? Plan for roughly 1–2 weeks by air or several weeks by sea after production, depending on the method you choose. With DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), Brandex covers export documents, import duty, GST handling and customs clearance, so your stock arrives landed with no separate bill to settle before release.
- What is the minimum order quantity for an Australian brand? 50 pieces per style and per colour. A first launch can spread across a few colours — for example 50 units each of three tee colours — and you reorder only what sells through.
- How do you handle Australian seasons running opposite to the northern hemisphere? We plan backwards from your on-sale date rather than a northern calendar. Tell us when the range needs to be in stock and we schedule sampling, bulk and freight so it lands ahead of your season, not after it.
- What are the payment terms for a first order? Typically a deposit to begin production with the balance before dispatch. Exact terms are confirmed on your quote; we keep them straightforward for first-time buyers and discuss them openly before you commit.
- How much does a sample cost and how fast can I get it? Samples are usually ready in about 7 days. A sample fee applies to cover materials and labour and is quoted with your project; it is a small, sensible investment to confirm fit and fabric before bulk.
- What fabrics suit the Australian climate? Lightweight combed and organic cotton for tees and tanks, jersey and piqué for polos, and moisture-managing performance blends for activewear — with brushed fleece and French terry for winter ranges in the southern states.
- Can you label and pack to Australian retail specification? Yes. We produce to your private-label spec — neck labels, care and fibre-content labels, country-of-origin marking, hang tags, and polybag or carton packing to the standard your Australian retailer or 3PL requires. Share your spec and we match it.
