FAQs — Custom Clothing Manufacturing

  • What quality and compliance systems do you follow for pants?
    The pants capabilities section states that Vanrd operates quality systems aligned with ISO 9001 principles, including incoming fabric checks, inline inspections and final AQL-based measurements. On materials we can source OEKO-TEX Standard 100 fabrics when requested. Social and factory audits such as BSCI or WRAP can be supported for buyers that require them. For US and EU-bound pants, we coordinate REACH and CPSIA-related testing with recognised third-party labs and prepare documentation in line with retailer requirements. 
  • What is your process from pants tech pack to bulk delivery?
    Our pants workflow is described as a clear eight-step process from first brief to shipment. It starts with Inquiry & Brief to clarify product mix, market, target prices and timelines, followed by Fabric/Trim Selection and Tech Pack & Pattern work. We then move into Sample production for fit, print, embroidery or sublimation approvals, and Pre-production Confirmation to lock specs, colours, branding and size curves. Bulk Production covers cutting, sewing, decoration and inline checks, then QC & Packing applies final inspections, folding, bagging and carton packing before Shipping and Replenishment planning. 
  • How are pants pricing and minimum order quantities set?
    The page explains that pants pricing depends on fabric type and weight, reinforcement level, pocket and panel complexity, washes or brushing, branding coverage and packaging requirements. Total volume per colour and style is a key driver of unit cost. Minimum order quantities typically start from 100 pieces per colour and style, with full size runs inside that total. This level is designed to fairly cover pattern development, sampling and private-label setup, while unit costs generally improve as quantities rise through better fabric utilisation and trim and decoration economics. 
  • What kinds of buyers and programs do you mainly serve?
    For pants manufacturing we work with several buyer groups rather than a single channel. Brand owners and private labels use us to build coherent pant ranges alongside tops, aligning silhouettes, fabrics and trims across capsules and core programs with realistic MOQs. Distributors and wholesalers receive stable specs, reliable capacity and carton-ready packing to replenish pants across multiple markets and channels. Corporate, hospitality and education buyers get easy-care pants with consistent sizing, colours and branding, supported by tender-style planning, size curves and documentation for long-running uniform contracts.

  • What branding options can you apply on pants and shorts?
    Branding on pants often needs to be durable and relatively discreet, and our options are designed around that. We support thigh and back-pocket embroidery, small screen prints, reflective or rubber logos, woven badges, jacquard tapes and branded drawcords. Private-label elements include woven main and size labels, care labels, hangtags, barcoded stickers, branded polybags and printed cartons. Once a branding package is approved, it can be reused across seasons so multi-style pants programs stay visually consistent and easy to reorder.
