Direct Answer

Brandex Sourcing is a Bangladesh private-label apparel manufacturer for US startup and growing brands that want to launch without domestic minimums. You can produce custom t-shirts, hoodies, joggers, and activewear from an MOQ of 50 pieces per style/colour at roughly $2–$8 per unit before shipping, get a sewn sample in about 7 days, and receive your bulk order DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to your US door with duties and customs already handled. That combination — low minimums, real per-unit pricing, and landed delivery — is what makes overseas manufacturing workable for a brand that isn't yet ordering thousands of units.

Who This Guide Is For

  • US startup brands launching without domestic minimums
  • Growing DTC labels testing multiple colourways cheaply
  • US founders who want landed DDP pricing, no customs surprises

  • MOQ from 50 pieces per style/colour
  • Indicative pricing $2–$8 per unit before shipping & duties
  • Sewn samples ready in about 7 days
  • Shipped DDP to the USA with duties and customs handled

Why US brands manufacture in Bangladesh

For a US-based label, the math usually decides this. A blank-quality custom hoodie from a US contractor often lands at $18–$35 to make, while comparable Bangladesh production sits in the $6–$12 range at low volume and lower still as you scale — the difference between a healthy margin and barely breaking even. US cut-and-sew shops that take startups frequently want 300–1,000 pieces per style, whereas Brandex starts at 50 per style/colour, so you can test three colourways of one hoodie for 150 units total. DDP shipping means import duty, customs clearance, and freight into the US are arranged and quoted up front, with no surprise broker or CBP invoice at delivery.

  • Per-unit cost that leaves room for margin versus $18–$35 US make cost
  • MOQ from 50 per style/colour instead of a 300–1,000 domestic minimum
  • US care, size, and 'Made in Bangladesh' labelling handled to FTC spec

US local vs China vs Bangladesh — compared

Every option has a tradeoff. Local US wins on speed and 'Made in USA' labelling, but price and minimums put it out of reach for most early brands. China is competitive on price and capacity, but MOQs for custom work are often higher than Bangladesh at the small end and tariff exposure can shift. Bangladesh gives you the lowest minimums and strong knitwear pricing; the cost is that you plan around sea transit, so it rewards brands that order a few weeks ahead rather than reordering in a panic.

  • MOQ: local US 300–1,000+, China 100–500, Bangladesh 50 per style/colour
  • Price/unit: local US $18–$35, China $4–$10, Bangladesh $2–$8
  • Sampling: local US 1–3 weeks, China ~1–2 weeks, Bangladesh ~7 days

What you can make

Brandex is an apparel manufacturer — knits and cut-and-sew garments, not accessories. Products include t-shirts (standard, heavyweight, boxy, oversized), polo shirts, hoodies and pullover/zip sweatshirts, crewnecks, activewear and performance tops, joggers, and leggings. If it's a knit or cut-and-sew garment it's in scope, and fabric weight, blend, fit, and finishing are all specifiable against your target price.

  • T-shirts, polos, hoodies, sweatshirts and crewnecks
  • Activewear, performance tops, joggers and leggings
  • Private-label basics built for your own brand label

How it works

The path from idea to landed inventory is the same for every brand. You send a tech pack — or reference garments and we spec it with you — then we sew a physical sample, usually ready in about a week, so you approve real fabric, fit, and print before committing to bulk. We don't cut bulk until you sign off; production runs from 50 pieces per style/colour, every order is QC-inspected against your approved sample, and finished goods ship DDP to your US address.

  • 7-day sewn sample approval before any bulk commitment
  • Bulk from MOQ 50, QC-inspected to the same spec on unit 50 and unit 5,000
  • DDP delivery to the USA with duties and customs cleared

Buyer Questions This Page Answers

  • How long does DDP shipping from Bangladesh to the USA take? Plan on 30–45 days for bulk production, then transit on top. Sea freight to US ports (Los Angeles/Long Beach, New York/New Jersey, Savannah) is the economical standard and typically adds a few weeks; air freight is available when a launch date can't move. We confirm the full timeline in writing before you approve the order.
  • Are duties and customs included when I ship to the US? Yes. Brandex ships DDP (Delivered Duty Paid), which means import duty, customs clearance, and freight into the US are arranged by us and quoted up front. You don't get a separate broker or CBP invoice at delivery — the landed price is what you agreed to.
  • What's the minimum order quantity per colour? MOQ is 50 pieces per style/colour. So one hoodie in three colours is a 150-piece order (50 each). This lets you test multiple colourways without a large upfront commitment.
  • What are your payment terms for US brands? Orders are typically split into a deposit to start production and a balance before shipment, with the sample paid separately beforehand. Exact terms are confirmed on your quote; we keep them straightforward so a small brand isn't financing an entire run on day one.
  • How much does a sample cost and how long does it take? Samples are ready in about 7 days. There's a per-sample charge that covers the fabric, labour, and setup to sew a one-off — modest relative to a bulk run and the best money you'll spend, because it's how you verify fit, fabric, and print before paying for 50-plus units.
  • What fabrics can I choose from? Cotton, cotton blends, fleece, French terry, piqué for polos, and performance/activewear knits, across a range of weights (for example lightweight tees through heavyweight 300+ gsm hoodies). Fabric drives both feel and cost, so we walk through options against your target price.
  • How do you keep quality consistent across reorders? Every bulk order is inspected against your approved sample and spec sheet before it ships, and we keep your tech pack and materials on file so a reorder matches the first run. Consistency across orders is the point of private-label manufacturing — your unit 5,000 should feel like your unit 50.
