Getting Started with SDF Clothing — What to Expect
Starting a new manufacturing relationship requires trust, clear communication, and a structured process. SDF Clothing has worked with hundreds of brands across the USA, UK, Australia, and Europe, and we've refined our onboarding process to make it as simple and transparent as possible for new clients.
The first step is always a design brief or tech pack submission. You don't need a finished tech pack to get started — even a rough sketch, a reference garment, or a detailed description is enough for us to provide a ballpark quote and confirm whether your project is a good fit for our factory. From there, we move to formal costing, which includes fabric sourcing, trim selection, and lead time confirmation.
Sampling is the most important phase of any manufacturing project. We produce a pre-production sample for your approval before any bulk fabric is cut. This sample lets you verify fit, construction, fabric quality, and color accuracy before committing to full production. Most clients approve samples within two rounds of revisions. We never proceed to bulk without your written approval.
Bulk production follows a structured quality control process. Our QC team conducts in-line checks during production and a final AQL inspection before packing. You receive a pre-shipment inspection report with photographs and measurements before we release your order for shipping. If anything falls outside the agreed specifications, we address it before the goods leave our factory.
Shipping from Bangladesh to the USA, UK, or Australia takes between 22 and 35 days by sea freight. We prepare all export documentation including commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and bill of lading. For EU shipments, we include the necessary documentation to support duty-free entry under the GSP scheme. Air freight is available for urgent orders and samples.

We provide weekly production updates during bulk manufacturing. And we back every shipment with our quality guarantee — if a garment doesn't meet the agreed specifications, we make it right.
Whether you're launching your first clothing brand with 300 pieces or scaling an established label with thousands of units per season, SDF Clothing provides the same level of attention and professionalism. Our minimum order quantity of 300 pieces reflects our commitment to supporting brands at every stage of growth, not just large buyers with the leverage to demand low prices.
