Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for chenille patches manufacturing?
Mughal Apparel produces chenille patches from a 50-piece MOQ per style and colour — among the lowest minimums in Pakistan, where most factories require 500+. This makes small test batches and startup runs viable.
How long does chenille patches production take?
Expect 10–12 business days for a pre-production sample and 12–20 days for bulk after approval. We ship DDP door-to-door to the USA, UK, EU, Canada, Australia and the UAE with export documents prepared in-house.
Can chenille patches be produced as private label or OEM?
Yes — Mughal Apparel is an OEM/private-label manufacturer. We produce chenille patches to your tech-pack specifications with your woven labels, hangtags and packaging, decorated via embroidery, screen print, dye-sublimation or DTG.
Why source chenille patches from Pakistan?
Pakistan-origin apparel enters the EU at 0% import duty under GSP+ (≈12% landed-cost advantage), avoids the US Section 301 surcharge, and benefits from domestic cotton/leather and Sialkot's specialist cluster.
What certifications back the manufacturing?
Production runs through 4-stage AQL 2.5 inspection in a WRAP, BSCI, Sedex SMETA, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and ISO 9001:2015 certified facility in Sialkot, Pakistan.
