Building a clothing brand
A clothing brand from Saudi Arabia, three ways
Print on demand: nothing before the first order, then the cost of the piece, the shipping and the fees come out of each order. A factory run: a quote and a minimum. 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.
Nothing 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 and pays, we print, pack and ship under your name; the cost of the piece, the shipping and the fees come out of that, and the rest is yours. Every piece shows its cost in the catalog.
A quote + a minimum
A factory run
Once a design has proven itself and sells every week, a factory run is cheaper per piece, and the cut becomes yours alone. It is a road we do not take today: we do not manufacture your own designs or tech packs. Instead, our team designed the catalog pieces and their patterns in every size, and you make them yours and launch.
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 best on cotton; polyester or very dark fabric does not come out the same.
- 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.
- Tamm is a complete platform on its own: your store, the payment and your customer invoice all live here. Connecting with Salla, Zid and Shopify is coming soon.
- We ship inside Saudi Arabia. International shipping is not available today.
