Building a clothing brand
A clothing brand from Saudi Arabia, three ways
Print on demand: zero before the first order, then the cost of the piece and SAR 23 packing and shipping per order. A small run cut and sewn here: on a quote. Importing a batch: capital, a minimum and customs. Pick your road before you pick your logo.
- A factory and a warehouse in Saudi Arabia
- We cut, sew and print ourselves
- Under your brand, not ours
The three roads
Three roads to a clothing brand, each with its price
There is no right road for everyone. The difference is where your money goes: before you sell, or after.
SAR 0 before the first order
Print on demand
Put your design on a blank from the catalog and publish it to your store. When your customer orders, we make the first move: print, pack and ship under your name, and you pay the cost of the piece plus SAR 23 packing and shipping. In the published example, a comfort cotton tee costs SAR 36.
On a quote
A small run cut and sewn here
Once one design has proven itself and sells every week, a run is cheaper per piece than print on demand, and the cut becomes yours alone. We import the fabric, cut it and sew it in our factory. The minimum and the price depend on the piece and the quantity, so request a quote and we come back with the numbers.
Capital + a minimum + customs
Importing a batch from abroad
The cheapest price per piece when the quantity is large, and the most expensive road if it does not sell. You pay for the whole batch before anyone buys, plus the SABER certificate, customs clearance and weeks in transit. Not something we do, and we write about it plainly so you can compare.
Made in Saudi
Made in Saudi, from fabric to box
From the fabric to the box, every step happens in our own factory inside Saudi Arabia, so the material, the cut and the print are all ours to guarantee.
Where to start
Four topics to read in order before the first piece
The guide is organised by topic, and these four are the ones a clothing brand needs. Each has a reading order for someone starting from zero.

Plainly
What we do not do, so you do not find out after the first order
- No DTF and no embroidery. Our line prints direct to garment (DTG), which works on cotton, not on polyester or dark fabrics with the same result.
- We print only on the blanks in the catalog. What is not in it we cannot print on today, and the catalog grows over time.
- No store, no payment gateway, no invoice to your customer. Those come from your platform; we print and ship.
- We ship inside Saudi Arabia. International shipping is not available today.
