Are you a jeans manufacturer or a wholesaler?

We are a jeans manufacturer. We make everything in our own factories in China and Cambodia, and we supply bulk and wholesale orders directly to fashion brands and retailers, from an MOQ of 500 pieces.

Can small brands and startups order from you?

Yes. Our minimum order quantity is 500 pieces, so startups and small brands can order from us as well as established retailers. Sampling typically takes around 7 days, so you can approve a style before committing to bulk. Read the denim sampling guide: https://topmondial.net/en/guides/denim-sampling-explained/

Do you make private label jeans?

Yes. Through OEM we make your own designs to your specifications, and through ODM you choose from our existing styles and put your label and branding on them.

What types of garments do you manufacture?

Denim is our core specialism — jeans, jackets, shorts, dresses, and denim skirts across womenswear, menswear, and kidswear. We also manufacture casual trousers, tops, and non-denim outerwear. With long-term partnerships across 20+ fabric mills and in-house wash development, we support a wide range of fabrics, finishes, and construction types.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Our minimum order quantity is 500 pieces.

What are your typical production lead times?

Our average bulk production lead time is around 30 days, depending on the order size, product complexity, and material availability.

How long does the sampling process take?

It typically takes around 7 days to develop a sample and ship it to you. Timelines may vary depending on the design, fabric sourcing, development requirements and your location.

Where are your manufacturing facilities located?

Our manufacturing operations include one factory in Zhejiang, China, and two factories in Cambodia. This setup gives us greater production flexibility and stronger supply chain support.

What is the difference between OEM and ODM?

OEM means we manufacture based on your designs, specifications, and brand requirements. ODM means you can select from our existing designs and adapt them to fit your brand. We develop around 1,000 new styles in-house each year, so there is usually something close to what you need. By offering both, along with our own unique in-house designs, we give brands flexible support, faster development, and trusted manufacturing expertise.

How do you ensure bulk production matches the approved sample?

Once you approve a sample, all specifications — fabric, construction, wash, and finish details — are locked into a detailed tech pack that governs the full production run. Our inline quality control team conducts regular checks throughout production, and each order undergoes a final audit before dispatch to verify it meets the approved standard.

How do I start a project with your team?

Getting started is simple. Share your product ideas, requirements, target order quantity, fabric preference, and any tech packs if available, and our team will guide you through the next steps from preparing a quote, to developing and sampling to production and delivery.

Private label jeans manufacturing:
how it works for brands

A private label jeans manufacturer makes the jeans, and your brand sells them under its own name, label and packaging.

This guide covers what private label means, how it relates to OEM and ODM, who supplies what, the steps from base style to bulk, labelling, and volume.

What is private label jeans manufacturing?

A factory makes the jeans, and you sell them under your brand. Your name goes on the labels, hangtags and packaging. The factory's name does not.

Your customer sees only your brand, and you do not need to own a factory.

Private label is different from wholesale. In wholesale you buy finished jeans that someone else designed, under their brand or unbranded. For how the two compare on price, MOQ and customisation, read jeans manufacturer vs wholesaler.

The jeans can be a factory style with your branding added, or a design that is entirely yours. Which one you choose is the OEM or ODM question, covered next.

Private label, OEM and ODM: how they fit together

“Private label” describes whose name is on the jeans. OEM and ODM describe who designs them. Both routes end in private label jeans.

Private label through ODM

You start from the factory's existing styles and customise fabric, wash, trims and branding. Top Mondial adds around 1,000 new styles a year.

Fit, fabric and wash choices. See custom denim washes.

From base style to bulk: the private label steps

Once your choices are set, a private label order follows the same factory path as any other order. The diagram below shows it.

Nine steps a denim manufacturer follows from tech pack review to quality control

On the ODM route, the base style you chose, plus your changes, takes the place of your own tech pack at step 01.

The six steps below show where your choices and your branding come in.

1. Choose your route and base style

For the ODM route, pick a base style from our collections. For the OEM route, send a tech pack or reference garment.

Either way, tell us the quantity you have in mind.

2. Set fit, fabric and wash

Decide the fit and size range, the fabric and the wash. On the ODM route these are changes to the base style. On the OEM route they come from your tech pack.

For wash options, read custom denim washes.

3. Brief your branding

Give us the artwork and the placement for your labels, hangtags, back patch, branded hardware, embroidery and packaging.

Put it in writing, in the tech pack or the order spec. The labelling section below covers each item.

4. Sample and approve

It typically takes around 7 days to develop a sample and ship it to you. Check the branding on the sample as well as the fit and wash.

The pre-production sample is made in the bulk fabric and trims. For the rounds and what to check, read denim sampling explained.

5. Confirm the order

Agree the quantity, the price and the delivery window.

For new customers on FOB orders, Top Mondial typically takes a 30% deposit and a 70% balance before shipment. See payment terms explained.

6. Bulk production, quality control and packing

Average bulk lead time is around 30 days. It depends on order size, complexity and materials.

The jeans are cut, sewn, washed, finished, inspected and packed to your requirements. For each stage, read how jeans are made.

Start your project

Labelling and branding: woven labels, hangtags and packaging

Four things carry your brand to the customer. The factory makes or applies each one to your specification.

Woven labels: the main brand label, size labels and care labels. You supply the artwork. You also supply the care and size content for the markets you sell in.
Back patch, branded hardware and embroidery: branded buttons and rivets, patches and logo embroidery. Embroidery is done in house.
Hangtags: you set the design, the size and how they attach.
Packaging: folding, polybags, retail-ready packing and carton marks, prepared to your requirements.

Put every branding spec in the tech pack, or in the order spec for ODM, and check it on the sample. The packaging and labelling section of what is a denim tech pack shows what to include. For materials, custom branding and how trims react to washing, read jeans hardware, trims and branding.

How many pairs do you need for private label jeans?

Private label is factory production, not stock. Each order is made for you, so a minimum order applies. Top Mondial's MOQ is 500 pieces.

When you compare factories, ask how each one counts its MOQ: per style or per colour. Also ask whether custom labels and trims change the minimum.

If your first order is smaller, read jeans manufacturer for startups. To compare factories on MOQ and other points, read how to choose a denim manufacturer.
