For brands sourcing custom gym wear, understanding the production process is the first step to smooth cooperation. A clear timeline helps you plan collections, control quality, and launch faster.
The complete gym wear production process includes five stages: design & tech pack, sampling, material sourcing, bulk manufacturing, quality control, and shipping. Each stage ensures precision, quality, and on-time delivery for every order.
Let’s walk through the process — from your first idea to the finished shipment.
Stage 1: Design and Tech Pack Preparation
The journey begins with your concept.
Buyers share their design ideas, logos, and specifications — including:
- Product sketches or reference photos
- Measurement charts and fit requirements
- Fabric, color, and print preferences
A tech pack is then created. It serves as a blueprint, detailing every aspect of production.
💡 Tip: The clearer your tech pack, the faster your samples will arrive.
Stage 2: Sampling and Fit Approval
Sampling turns your design into a physical prototype.
Factories like Maida Activewear typically take 7–14 days for the first sample, depending on complexity.
During this stage:
- Fabrics and trims are tested
- Printing and logo positions are checked
- Fit and comfort are evaluated
Once you approve the sample, it becomes the reference for bulk production.
Stage 3: Material Sourcing and Pre-Production
After approval, the team sources and inspects all raw materials:
- Main fabrics (polyester, nylon, bamboo, etc.)
- Accessories (drawstrings, zippers, labels)
- Packaging components (bags, tags, boxes)
A pre-production sample (PPS) is created for final confirmation before mass production begins.
Stage 4: Bulk Manufacturing and Quality Control
This is where your gym wear comes to life.
Production includes:
- Fabric cutting
- Sewing and assembly
- Printing or embroidery
- Inline and final quality inspection
Each batch is checked for stitching accuracy, color consistency, and logo placement.
Quality control happens at every step to minimize defects and delays.
Stage 5: Packing and Worldwide Shipping
Once products pass inspection, they move to finishing:
- Ironing and thread trimming
- Folding and polybag packing
- Labeling and carton boxing
Shipping options include:
- Air freight (5–10 days) for urgent orders
- Sea freight (25–40 days) for cost efficiency
At Maida Activewear, we coordinate logistics to ensure your goods arrive safely and on time.
