What Moves the Price

Worked Example: 100 Hoodies, Delivered to the USA

Base: 100 × 320 GSM hoodie @ ~$10.80$1,080

Woven labels + hang tags + bags @ $0.80$80
Express DDP air freight (approx.)$200–250

At a $60–75 retail price — normal for heavyweight streetwear — that is a 71–77% gross margin. The same spec from a US cut-and-sew studio typically lands at $35–55/unit; from China, similar to Pakistan on FOB but with US tariff exposure working against it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to manufacture a hoodie in Pakistan?

From a Sialkot factory in 2026: $12.00 per unit at 50 pieces for a standard 280-350 GSM custom hoodie with your label, falling to $8.40 at 500+. Premium 400-450 GSM heavyweights run $14-19 at small quantities. Decoration and shipping add $2-6 per unit depending on spec.

Why are Pakistani hoodies cheaper than Chinese ones for small orders?

Pakistan grows its own cotton and knits fleece locally, removing the imported-fabric premium, and its factories accept 50-piece orders without surcharges. For US brands, Chinese quotes also carry Section 301 tariff exposure on top of MFN duty.

What GSM should my hoodie be?

280-350 GSM is the standard premium range - substantial but wearable year-round. 400-450 GSM is the boxy heavyweight streetwear feel. Below 250 GSM reads as budget retail and hurts reorders.

How many hoodies do I need to order from a factory?

Most overseas factories want 300-1,000 pieces. FABRIOZA's standard MOQ is 50 pieces per style, and a 20-piece trial order lets you test production quality first with the cost credited toward bulk.

How long does hoodie production take in Pakistan?

Sample in 5-7 business days; production 3-4 weeks after sample approval for typical small orders; express DDP delivery 3-7 business days via DHL/FedEx/UPS.
