What Moves the Price
- Fabric weight is half the cost. Going from 300 to 450 GSM adds ~50% more cotton per garment, plus slower sewing. Pakistan's advantage: the fleece is knitted and dyed locally from home-grown cotton — no imported-fabric premium.
- Decoration: screen print $1.50–3.00 per location; 3D puff embroidery $2.50–5.00; all-over sublimation $3.00–6.00 (see the full add-on table).
- Branding pack: woven label $0.30, hang tag + poly bag $0.50, custom mailer $0.25.
- Quantity: volume discounts run 10/20/30/40% at 100/250/500/1,000+ pieces.

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.
