Direct Answer
Brandex Sourcing is a Bangladesh-based private-label apparel manufacturer that helps Netherlands clothing brands produce their own labelled garments from a MOQ of 50 pieces per style and colour, at roughly $2–$8 per unit before shipping. We make sample garments in about 7 days, and ship DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to the Netherlands — usually through the Port of Rotterdam — so duties, VAT, and clearance are handled before your boxes arrive. That makes us a realistic first factory for Dutch startups, webshops, and growing labels who can't meet the thousands-of-units minimums most large factories demand.

Why Netherlands brands manufacture in Bangladesh
Dutch founders come to Bangladesh for concrete, unsentimental reasons. Cut-and-sew production inside the Netherlands is excellent for quality but expensive, while finished private-labelled garments at $2–$8 per unit give young brands the headroom to price competitively and still fund the next drop. Most Dutch labels don't need 1,000 hoodies of one colour — they need 50 black, 50 sand, 50 olive to test what sells — and our 50-piece minimum per style and colour matches how a webshop actually launches. Working directly with one factory also means one point of contact, one approved sample as your reference, and accountability when something needs fixing.
- Unit cost that leaves room for a margin against Zalando-tier competition
- MOQ flexibility built for small, low-risk, multi-colour test runs
- One factory and one approved sample rather than a marketplace middleman
Netherlands local vs China vs Bangladesh — compared
An honest side-by-side: Bangladesh isn't the fastest option, but for a small Dutch brand watching cash and MOQ it's usually the sensible pick. Local Dutch production wins on speed and communication — ideal if you need 30 units next week or want to visit the workshop — but it's often blanks plus print rather than true private label, at the highest per-unit cost. China can rival Bangladesh on price for large volumes and has deep fabric variety, but its minimums (often 300–1,000+ per style) rarely suit a 50-piece test run. Bangladesh's real tradeoff is transit time, since sea freight isn't overnight; if you plan seasons ahead rather than react week-to-week, that tradeoff is easy to absorb and you get true private-label garments at a startup-friendly minimum.
- MOQ: local is low but often blanks-plus-print; China often 300–1,000+; Brandex 50 per style/colour
- Price and sampling: local is highest EU labour cost; China low–mid with ~7–14 day samples; Brandex $2–$8/unit with ~7-day samples
- Shipping: local domestic only; China DDP with complex duties; Brandex DDP to the Netherlands via Rotterdam

How it works
A simple, sample-first path from idea to delivered boxes. Send your tech pack — or just reference images, measurements, and a target fabric weight — and we'll help turn a rough idea into a spec. We make a sample in about 7 days in your real fabric and fit, iterate until it's right, then run bulk from a MOQ of 50 per style and colour at $2–$8 per unit over roughly 4–6 weeks. Every batch is QC-inspected for measurements, stitching, colour and finish before we ship DDP to the Netherlands via Rotterdam and hand you cleared goods.
- Sample in about 7 days — nothing goes to bulk unseen — then approve or adjust
- Bulk production from MOQ 50 per style and colour at $2–$8/unit over ~4–6 weeks
- QC inspection on every batch, then DDP delivery duty-paid via Rotterdam
Buyer Questions This Page Answers
- How long does shipping from Bangladesh to the Netherlands take, and who pays the duties? Sea freight to Rotterdam typically takes 4–6 weeks; air freight is a few days when needed. On DDP terms, Brandex pays and handles EU import duty and Dutch VAT clearance, so your boxes arrive without a customs bill or broker to deal with.
- What's the minimum order — is it 50 total or 50 per colour? The MOQ is 50 pieces per style and per colour. So three colours of one hoodie is 3 × 50 = 150 pieces total. This lets you launch a small multi-colour range instead of betting everything on one variant.
- What are your prices per unit? Finished, private-labelled garments run $2–$8 per unit before shipping, depending on the product, fabric weight, and construction. A basic tee sits at the low end; a heavyweight zip hoodie at the higher end.
- How much does a sample cost and how long does it take? Samples are ready in about 7 days. We'll confirm the sample cost when we see your tech pack — it depends on complexity — and it's a small, worthwhile spend to lock in fit and quality before committing to bulk. Sampling before bulk is non-negotiable on our side; you should never approve a run you haven't held.
- What fabrics can I choose from? Cotton, cotton blends, French terry, fleece, piqué, and performance/activewear knits, across a range of weights (GSM). We help match fabric to your price point, use case, and the Dutch climate.
- What are the payment terms? Typically a deposit to start production with the balance before shipping. Exact terms are confirmed on your quote — we'll be clear and specific, with no hidden fees, since DDP already folds in duties and clearance.
- Can you keep quality consistent across repeat orders? Yes — that's the point of approving a sealed sample and running QC inspection on every batch. Your approved sample becomes the reference standard, so your second and third orders match the first. Consistency across orders is what separates a real manufacturer from a middleman.
