Are you trying to start your own private label jean? You might want to read through this article. I’ve been in private label jean business for sometime now and I have a few tips that I want to share.
In order to compete with other brands and to maximize your profit, you may want to keep your production cost low by outsourcing your jeans to countries like China or Vietnam. I outsourced my private label jean to China and it costs me around $10 per jeans. I know that there are several jeans manufacturers in the US and it’s safer to deal with them rather than to deal with foreign factory. Believe me, Chinese jeans manufacturer is still way cheaper and it’s safe as long as you’re using jeans agent or if you know the manufacturer really well.
If you don’t know anyone in China or if you are afraid of being scammed by Chinese manufacturers, I suggest you use a jeans agent. That’s what I did. That’s the safest way to deal with unfamiliar foreign manufacturers, especially if you can’t speak their language. I’ve never gone to China till this day, but my private label jean was produced in China. I’ve been using a US jeans agent called Jeans By You and they can speak English well. Basically, they act as my intermediary between the Chinese manufacturer and I. I send them my designs or an actual jeans that I want to produce, and they will get back to me with all of the information such as the cost per jeans, production time, and etc. Before final production, they will send me jeans sample so I can check the quality of the jeans. If I agree with the sample jeans, then they will go ahead with the final production. I pay them using PayPal or Letter of Credit and never have any problem with them so far. They arranged my shipping as well for extra cost.
Empirically when you do private label jean, you have to have some kind of proof that your label is yours and you’re not copying other people’s label. Otherwise, your jeans will be held by Chinese customs and your country’s customs.
If you’re planning to have custom made buttons, rivets, or label with your logo/design on it, you will have to pay extra because the manufacturers have to make a custom mold just for your design. But, that’s only one-time charge. If you decide to make a second order with the same manufacturer, you only have to pay for the jeans, no more mold costs.
Usually jeans manufacturers minimum order is 100 pieces. You can rarely find manufacturers who want to make 50 jeans. If they do, usually you have to pay extra for that. Keep in mind, the more quantity you order, the cheaper the cost per jeans is. If you order 10,000 jeans, usually they will not charge you the label fee.
Hope these tips can help you with your private label jean business.
