Guide
Clothing manufacturer Rotterdam
1 min read
Can you have clothing produced in Rotterdam itself?
Hardly. Series production of clothing rarely happens in the Netherlands any more, and Rotterdam is no exception. Those who offer it locally usually do something else in practice: printing bought-in blanks, tailoring and repairs in a workshop, or importing on behalf of a factory abroad.
We're open about that. Your brand, your design and your point of contact are here; we produce in Turkey, Italy, Portugal and China, most productions in our own workshop in Turkey. No agent and no intermediary trade, so you know where your clothing comes from and what you pay for it; we pay the import duties on production from Turkey. Weighing up China or the Netherlands yourself?
Then don't just calculate with the unit price, but also with import costs, minimum and lead time.
How do you avoid mistakes in clothing production at a distance?
The risk rarely lies in the kilometres, and almost always in unclear agreements: a tech pack that leaves too much open, a sample that gets skipped, or a reference that wasn't recorded.
That's why we record everything upfront and, as standard, you see a physical sample first. If something isn't right, you adjust it before production runs; a new sample costs the same as the first. That is a lot cheaper than afterwards. So choosing a clothing manufacturer is about predictability, not the lowest price.
How do you stay in touch with a factory abroad?
Through us. You have one fixed point of contact in the Netherlands, from first message to delivery, and that simply happens in Dutch, via WhatsApp or email. You discuss corrections to a sample in your own language; we translate them into production specifications for the factory.
What do you get as standard with every production?
Whether your brand is in Rotterdam, the Rijnmond region or beyond.

Frequently asked questions about having clothing made in Rotterdam
How much does it cost to have clothing made in Rotterdam?
Your price depends on product, fabric, run size and branding, not on where you're based. From 10 pieces, a T-shirt costs €29.99 and a hoodie €39.99 per piece, with print and a printed neck label, excluding VAT, and a sample from €150. Your quote states the exact amount.
I don't have a tech pack yet, can you help with that?
Yes. Send what you have: sketches, photos or a reference garment from your wardrobe. We turn that into production specifications with fabric, GSM, sizes, colours and print placement.
Can I feel a blank sample first, before I have anything printed?
Yes, and that's often wise. Only when fabric, weight and fit feel right in the chosen quality do we make the sample with your print or embroidery on it.
Do you deliver in Rotterdam?
Yes, to the address you give us. Delivery split across multiple addresses is also open for discussion; mention it in your request.
Can we meet in Rotterdam?
Contact normally runs via WhatsApp or email, and we send samples to you. If you'd rather review samples together, say so in your request; we'll see what's possible.
How quickly can my first order be ready?
Allow at least 5 to 6 weeks for the sample and then at least 5 to 6 weeks of bulk production, each after payment, depending on style, production country and run size. Do you have a hard deadline, such as a launch or an event? Mention it straight away, and we'll plan back from that date.
