Elevate Your Brand with Trusted Custom Clothing Manufacturers
Mega Apparel has been a custom clothing manufacturer working with US brands since 2012. Around 2,000 labels have come through us in that time, most of them small brands ordering their first proper run. We are registered in Los Angeles and run our own production
floor rather than brokering your order out to whoever is cheapest that month, which is why we can start at 35 pieces per color when a domestic cut-and-sew shop will not usually talk to you under 300.
Cut and sew, private label, embroidery, DTF, DTG, screen printing, all-over sublimation and fabric dyeing. Send a sketch, a tech pack, or just a photo of something you like the look of.
You get fabric options, a unit price and a timeline back before you commit to anything.
What We Manufacture
Clothing Brand Design Services
If you have an idea but nothing on paper, start here. Our designers build the tech pack: flat sketches, a measurement spec with points of measure, stitch and seam callouts, a fabric and trim sheet, Pantone TCX references, and a graded size chart across your full size run. You approve a digital mockup before anything gets cut. Most brands need two or three sample rounds before the fit is right, and we do not charge for reasonable revisions. The artwork and the patterns are yours to keep, whether or not you place a bulk order with us.
Cut and Sew Manufacturer
"Cut and sew" means we build the garment from flat fabric instead of printing on somebody else's blank. You control the pattern, the fit, the fabric weight, the trims and the stitching. We work in cotton jersey, French terry, brushed fleece, interlock, rib knit, twill, denim, poplin, nylon and polyester performance knits, and cotton-spandex blends. Construction covers overlock, coverstitch, flatlock, bartack at stress points, and taped shoulder seams where the garment needs them. Runs start at 35 pieces per color and go up to 10,000 units on repeat programs.
Private Label Clothing
You send us your brand and we send back a product that carries only your name. Woven neck labels, printed labels, heat transfer neck prints for a tagless finish, size labels, care labels written to FTC care labeling requirements, hang tags, and custom poly mailers if you want the unboxing to match. Nothing on the garment, the packaging or the paperwork points back to us.
T-shirt Manufacturer
T-shirts are where most brands start and also where most brands get stuck. Blanks are cheap, but you inherit someone else's fit and someone else's fabric weight, and so does every competitor buying from the same wholesaler. We cut from scratch, so you choose the GSM, the neckline and rib depth, the shoulder drop, the body length and the sleeve. We work with between 140 and 260 GSM in combed ring-spun cotton, cotton-polyester blends, tri-blends, and slub. Finishes include garment dye, enzyme wash and pigment dye for a lived-in look.
Custom Embroidery
We digitize your artwork first, then stitch. Flat embroidery, 3D puff, satin stitch, chain stitch, applique and patchwork, tonal thread on tonal fabric, metallic and viscose threads. Send vector artwork if you have it. If all you have is a JPEG or a photo of a napkin sketch, we will redraw it, and you will see a stitchout before it goes anywhere near your bulk fabric.
Custom Screen Printing
Plastisol, water-based, discharge, puff, high-density, foil and glitter. Up to 12 colors on an automatic press. Worth knowing before you choose. Water-based and discharge inks sink into the fabric and feel like nothing, which is what most streetwear brands ask for now, but they behave differently on blends and cannot hit every Pantone. Plastisol sits on top, holds brighter on dark garments, and costs less on short runs. We tell you which one suits your artwork instead of just taking the order.
All Over Sublimation Printing
Sublimation only works on polyester and high polyester blends. That is worth knowing before you fall in love with an all-over design on a cotton tee. The ink turns to gas and bonds inside the fiber, so the print does not crack, peel or fade in the wash the way a heavy plastisol print eventually will. We print the fabric panels first and cut afterwards, which is why the design carries across the seams instead of stopping at them.
Sportswear Manufacturer
Four-way stretch performance knits, moisture-wicking polyester, mesh ventilation panels, flatlock and coverstitch seams so nothing chafes, bonded and taped seams where you need them, reflective trims, and heat transfer names and numbers. We produce jerseys, compression wear, training tops, shorts, leggings and full team kits, including numbering and roster name application.
Kids Clothing Manufacturer
Children's apparel carries rules that adult apparel does not, and a lot of new brands find that out from a retailer instead of from their factory. No drawstrings at the neck on sizes 2T to 12 under CPSC guidance. Snap small part requirements so nothing detaches. Flammability standards on sleepwear. CPSIA limits on lead and phthalates. We build on those rules and can arrange third-party lab testing when your retailer asks you for a children's product certificate.
How an Order Actually Runs
1. Quote:
Send sketches, a tech pack, reference photos, or a plain description. You get a costed quote with fabric options, minimums and a timeline, usually inside 24 hours.
2. Tech pack and mockup:
We turn the idea into a spec sheet and a digital mockup. You sign off on measurements, fabric, colors and placements before anything is cut.
3. Sampling:
15 to 20 business days. The garment arrives in your hands. Wear it, wash it, and tell us what is wrong. We revise and resample.
4. Bulk production:
20 to 25 business days after you approve the sample, depending on quantity and print method.
5. Quality control:
Inline checks during production and a final inspection to AQL 2.5 before packing. You get photos at each stage.
6. Packing and shipping
Private label tags, poly bags and cartons to your spec. DHL or FedEx on smaller runs, air or sea freight in bulk, door-to-door either way.
From start to finish, that is six to nine weeks for most orders. If you are working to a drop date, tell us the date first, and we will work backward from it.
Fabrics We Work In
If there is a garment you already like the feel of, post it to us. We can match the weight, the hand feel and the construction rather than guessing from a description over email.

If You Are Starting Your First Clothing Line
First orders go wrong in the same handful of ways. You order too much of one size. You pick a fabric that looks right on a screen and drapes badly in real life. You approve a sample photo instead of holding the garment. Or you find out at the last minute that your retailer needs paperwork nobody mentioned.
We have watched this happen enough times to head most of it off. Before you place a bulk order, you will have a physical sample in your hands; a size run that matches how your customers actually buy rather than an even split; and a written spec you could take to any other factory later if you outgrow us.
Around 2,000 brands have started with us since 2012. Plenty came in ordering 50 hoodies and now run six-figure repeat orders. Some tried one run and decided the business was not for them, which is also a fair outcome and a much cheaper thing to learn at 35 units than at 500.

You see the full cost breakdown
Fabric, trims, cut and sew, print or embroidery, packaging and freight are all listed separately on the quote. Overseas production keeps unit costs roughly 10 to 15 percent below a domestic US shop at the same quantity, and no line item appears after sampling that was not on the original quote.
One Person Owns Your Order
You get a project manager and their direct line, from quote to delivery. If a fabric is wrong for what you are building, they will tell you before you pay for it rather than after.
Samples in 15 to 20 Days
Bulk runs take 20 to 25 business days after sample approval. Those are business days from approved artwork, not from your first email. Peak season from September to November runs about a week longer and we say so at the quote stage rather than at the delivery stage.
Everything Under One Roof
Design, tech pack, sampling, production, printing, embroidery, labeling, packaging and freight all happen in the same building. You are not managing a factory in one country and a print shop in another and hoping the colors match.
35 Pieces Per Color
Sizes mix freely inside that count. Above 5 units per style, the price drops into the next band, and there is no upper ceiling. We run bulk programs for brands ordering thousands of units a season.
Photos at Three Stages
After cutting, mid-production, and before packing. If something looks wrong, you find out while it can still be fixed, not when the carton lands at your door.
