Manufacturer, not a middleman

A family-run clothing manufacturer
& fabric export house.

NG Apparels has been cutting, knitting and exporting garments from Ludhiana, Punjab since 1981 — three generations of the same family on the same factory floor. We knit and weave our own fabric, grade our own patterns and ship directly to brand owners, retailers and wholesalers in more than 30 countries.

Because production, sampling and quality control sit under one roof, there is no sourcing agent translating your comments into someone else’s language. You speak to the people who actually make the garment — 45 minutes by air from New Delhi, with a documented audit trail on every order.

What we manufacture

Custom fabric, colour
and construction.

From 140 GSM single jersey to 400 GSM brushed fleece, from insulated ski shells to antimicrobial medical scrubs — every style is engineered to your measurement chart, trims and wash standard.

01

Private label apparel

Men’s, women’s and baby clothing, sportswear, workwear and medical uniforms — knitted and woven, from prototype through repeat bulk orders with your labels, hangtags and packaging.

02

In-house fabric development

Circular knitting, weaving, dyeing and finishing capability lets us build a fabric to your GSM, stretch, shrinkage and hand-feel rather than forcing your design onto stock cloth.

03

Special finishes & washes

Water repellent, UV protective, stain repellent, antimicrobial and fire retardant treatments, plus enzyme, stone and acid washing for denim and casualwear.

04

Trims & accessories sourcing

Custom zips, drawcords, woven labels, elastics, badges and embroidery sourced to international brand specification and tested for colour fastness and nickel release.

05

Sustainable material routes

GOTS certified organic cotton, recycled polyester, bamboo and linen blends with lot-level traceability documents supplied alongside the shipment.

06

Export logistics

Water-resistant sealed export cartons, full documentation and door-to-door delivery by sea or air — including consolidated shipments for smaller launch quantities.

All clothing categories

A sample of recent production: over 3,000 graded patterns are already on file, which shortens development time when your silhouette is close to an existing block.

The process

“How do I get my
clothing designs made?”

Three stages, clear turnaround times and one point of contact throughout. Typical total lead time is seven to nine weeks from approved tech pack to sealed export cartons.

01
1 week turnaround

Your idea, in a tech pack

Send the blueprint of your style. Our merchandisers cost it, flag construction risks and confirm fabric availability before anything is cut.

  • Fabric construction, GSM and colour standards
  • Graded measurement chart and tolerances
  • Print, embroidery, trims and wash instructions
  • Labels, hangtags and finished-garment packing

Accuracy here removes most sampling rounds later.

02
2 weeks turnaround

Prototype & PP samples

We cut a first prototype so you can judge fit, stitch quality and drape on a real body, then grade the pattern across your size run.

  • Fit, seam and construction review
  • Comments incorporated and re-sampled if needed
  • Pattern grading for the full size set
  • Pre-production sample for final sign-off

Minor adjustments are still possible at PP stage.

03
4–6 weeks turnaround

Bulk, QC & dispatch

Bulk runs on the approved PP sample with inline and end-line inspection, then ships in water-resistant sealed export packaging.

  • Inline, mid-line and final AQL inspection
  • Barcode, polybag and carton marking to spec
  • Door-to-door delivery by sea or air freight
  • Patterns archived for fast reorders

Flexible & fair practices

An ethical
overseas clothing manufacturer.

Every garment is produced under fair-trade working principles: no child labour, documented wages paid on time, flexible shifts for our women operators and an open-door policy for buyer audits and video walkthroughs.

A large share of our supervisory and quality roles are held by women, many with two decades of experience on the same product categories. That continuity is the reason first-sample accuracy is consistently high and why brands stay with us across seasons.

Our ethical framework

One-stop control

Fabric, cutting, stitching, finishing and export handled in-house.

Reliability

You get exactly
what we quote.

Substitutions are where most overseas orders go wrong. We lock the yarn count, dye house and trim supplier at costing stage, then test against that record before shipment.

A-grade yarns & certified dyes
0as specified

No downgraded yarn lots, no unapproved dye substitutions — the exact grade you pay for is the grade that runs in bulk.

Minor defect rate
0hand-made goods

Garments are hand-finished, so we publish a realistic tolerance instead of promising zero. Inspection reports travel with the shipment.

First-sample accuracy
0to tech pack

Experienced pattern masters hit the specification on the first prototype in the large majority of styles, cutting weeks from development.

Best-in-class

Removing buying agents.

As a manufacturer and exporter in one, we do not need sourcing agents or intermediaries. That removes a margin layer, removes miscommunication — and removes the risk of your designs being shopped around.

Confidentiality of your designs

Your tech packs stay inside our facility from the moment they arrive. Agents typically circulate the same artwork to several unvetted factories for quotes, which is the most common route to plagiarised styles. Patterns and blocks are archived under your brand account only.

Experienced, innovating workforce

Our craftspeople read technical specifications directly and most have over twenty years on the floor. Complex constructions — insulated shells, seam-sealed outerwear, engineered panels — are developed rather than declined.

Custom special fabric finishes

Mechanical and chemical finishing including water resistance, UV protection, stain repellency, antimicrobial and fire retardant treatments, plus stone and acid washing — specified, tested and documented per order.

Custom trims & accessories

Bespoke zips, cords, woven and heat-transfer labels, elastics and badges sourced to buyer specification so a young label sits visually alongside established international brands.

Buyer experience

Buyer questions, answered

Before you send
the first tech pack.

Our working MOQ is typically 300 pieces per style, split across colours and a full size set. Styles built on stock-supported fabrics can start lower, while custom knitted or woven fabric development needs a higher volume because yarn dyeing runs in fixed lot sizes.

Plan on seven to nine weeks in the factory: one week for tech pack review and costing, two weeks for prototype and pre-production samples, and four to six weeks for bulk. Add four to six weeks for sea freight or five to eight days for air.

Yes. We regularly run hoodies, tees and sweatshirts in GOTS certified organic cotton, recycled polyester and bamboo blends, and supply traceability documents for every certified fabric lot so your own sustainability claims stay defensible.

They will. Because we manufacture in-house and work without sourcing agents, your tech packs are never circulated to third-party factories for quotations. Patterns, artwork and blocks stay inside our facility, archived under your brand account for reorders.

Men’s and women’s clothing, baby clothing, sportswear and activewear, workwear and medical scrubs, scarves and clothing accessories — in knitted and woven fabrics, with mechanical and chemical finishes such as water repellency, UV protection and antimicrobial treatment.

We are at 270-A, Industrial Area-A, Ludhiana 141003, Punjab, India — roughly 45 minutes by air from New Delhi. Buyers and their QA teams are welcome Monday to Saturday, 9am to 7pm IST, and we also run live video walkthroughs of production lines on request.
