Inside Our Uniform Factory in Lahore, Pakistan

Fabric arrives mill-direct and is stored by order rather than by colour, so the roll that produced your first batch is the roll identified for your second. Woven sacks in the same bay hold trims, tapes and packing material for the orders in progress.

Panels are cut to the approved pattern, then tied into bundles by size before they reach a machine. Bundling is what holds sizing consistent from the first unit to the ten-thousandth: an operator works one bundle at a time, and a bundle is one size of one garment for one order.

Industrial sewing machines, run by machinists working to the approved sample with in-line supervision on every batch. This is the room the clips at the top of this page were filmed in — those clips are the work; this is the floor it happens on.

Logos are applied in-house on a multi-head machine, not sub-contracted. Thread colours are matched to your brand reference and locked to a digitised file, so the file that stitched your first order is the file that stitches your reorder. Placement is set against the approved sample and checked on the first piece off the machine before the run continues.

Checked before the run

Thread trimmed, garment pressed, folded to a consistent presentation and bagged. This station is the reason a uniform looks issued rather than delivered: the same garment, badly folded, arrives looking like surplus. Where a programme needs individual polybags, size stickers or per-branch sorting, that is done here before anything is boxed.

Finished

Trimmed, pressed, folded

Bagging

Bulk or individual polybag

Sorting

By size, branch or region

Cartons are marked with contents, quantity and weight, and staged by destination. Nationwide delivery within Pakistan is arranged directly; export consignments are prepared with the documentation the buyer's Incoterms require, which is agreed before production rather than after.
