Presented by Luopeita, the Clothes Factory

🔍 Introduction

When sourcing custom garments from a reliable clothing factory like Luopeita, understanding the cost structure behind each piece is crucial. From luxurious fabrics to carefully applied trims, every detail contributes to the final price. This guide breaks down the key cost dimensions that affect the price of a custom garment.

🧶 1. Fabric Selection

Fabric is the foundation of any garment. The price varies depending on:

  • Type: Cotton, polyester, rayon, linen, silk, etc.

  • Quality: Thread count, softness, durability.

  • Weight: Heavier materials (e.g., fleece, denim) cost more.

  • Special finishes: Pre-shrunk, brushed, waterproofed, or anti-pilling treatments.

💡 Luopeita sources high-quality fabrics through long-term supplier relationships, ensuring consistent quality at reasonable prices.

✂️ 2. Cutting & Sewing Labor

Garment construction requires skilled labor:

  • Pattern development

  • Manual or automated cutting

  • Sewing complexity (simple t-shirts vs. multi-panel coats)

  • Finishing work (hemming, ironing, packaging)

👕 Luopeita’s trained sewing team handles everything from basic tees to advanced rhinestone-embellished apparel, ensuring precision at every step.

🧵 3. Trims and Accessories

These include:

  • Embellishments (e.g., embroidery, screen printing, puff ink)
