Frequently Asked
Common Buyer Questions
Answers to the questions B2B procurement teams ask before placing their first order.
Why should I choose Mughal Apparel over other Pakistan manufacturers?▾
We combine the lowest MOQ in the industry (50 pcs), a documented sweatshop-free supply chain, and 17+ years of OEM/private-label experience serving 80+ global brands. Our 4-stage QC process, in-house printing & embroidery, and dedicated account managers per client mean fewer surprises than working with generic factories.
How do you compare to Chinese or Vietnamese clothing manufacturers?▾
Pakistan offers GSP+ duty-free EU access (Vietnam does not), 30–50% lower per-piece labour costs than coastal Chinese factories, and stronger English communication than most Vietnamese suppliers. For the EU market specifically, Pakistan is the most cost-efficient origin for cut-and-sew apparel.
What certifications do you have?▾
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (fabric chemical safety), ISO 9001 (quality management), BSCI (social compliance, audited annually), REACH compliance (EU chemical regulations). SA8000 and WRAP audits available on request for institutional buyers.
Do you sign NDAs?▾
Yes — mutual NDAs are signed before any technical discussion involving your designs, tech packs, or proprietary specifications. Your IP is protected throughout the engagement.
What is your defect rate?▾
Our internal QC data shows a defect rate consistently under 1.5%, compared to industry averages of 4–6%. Any out-of-spec garment is replaced or refunded at no cost to you.
Can I visit your factory?▾
Absolutely. Our factory in Daska, Sialkot District is open to client visits. We provide visa invitation letters, airport transfers from Lahore International (LHE), and accommodation recommendations. Most visits last 2–3 days and include sampling sessions, production line tours, and QC walk-throughs. We also offer live factory tour video calls if travel is not feasible.
How long has Mughal Apparel been in business?▾
Founded in 2008 — over 17 years of continuous operation. We have ongoing relationships with 80+ active brand clients, many of whom have manufactured with us for 5+ years.
What if my first order has quality issues?▾
We have a written quality guarantee. If samples don't match approval standards, we re-do them at no extra cost. For production defects above the 2.5 AQL threshold, we provide free replacements or partial refunds. Late delivery caused by us is offset by air-freight upgrade at our expense. We protect first-time clients because we want long-term relationships.
