FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does Activewear charge to sew a garment?
A price quote can only be given once we see a sample garment or a garment similar to the one you wish to have sewn.
I have a sample of my garment and would like Activewear to provide a sewing price quote. What do I do next?
You can send your garment to our facility (please see the Contact page for our address). Once we receive your garment, we will look over the construction then provide you with a price quote. If you would like your sample sent back please include either a pre-paid USPS Priority envelope or a UPS/FedEx account code.
I don’t have a sample garment but I have a drawing. Can you provide a sewing quote?
No, we can not. We need a sample of the garment or a garment similar to the one you will be producing.
I have a pattern and would like Activewear to sew a sample. What do I do next?
Cut your pattern from the fabric you wish to use and send it along with all required trims (elastic, zippers, labels, etc.) and a sample of the finished garment to us. Alternatively, you can send the pattern, fabric and trims and we will cut the pattern from the fabric. However, the cost will be doubled.
How much does Activewear charge to make samples?
Samples begin at $50 each (this price may vary depending on the simplicity / complexity of the actual garment) if the fabric pieces are already cut. If the pattern has to be cut from fabric and sewn, the price doubles.
How long does it take to make samples?
This varies depending on the quantity of samples and the accuracy of the pattern. With that said, the average time is approximately 1-3 weeks.
Can I visit your facility?
Once we have seen your garment(s) and you have agreed with our price quotes, we can then arrange for a visit to our facility.
I have a unique design. Will Activewear sign a non-disclosure agreement?
Yes. You can email or fax the NDA. Please see the Contact page for fax number and email address.
