Estimate, not a quote

What a run roughly costs

A planning range before you ask a factory. The price you pay is the one the factory quotes, and you pay the factory directly.

Calculator estimate per piece, full package, ex-factory
Garment100–300pieces per style300–500pieces per style500–1,000pieces per style1,000+pieces per style
Activeweartechnical knit£14.40–28.80£12.00–24.00£10.56–21.12£9.36–18.72

How we got these: the live calculator’s base price × mid-range fabric (×1.00) × standard construction (×1.00) × the quantity band (×1.20, ×1.00, ×0.88, ×0.78). Estimates, not quotes: fabric, trims and your tech pack move the number, and the factory quotes you directly. Flatlock seams, bonded hems and printed panels move activewear towards the top of the range.

Where it gets made

Where UK activewear is made

We don’t tie activewear to one town. We place your brief with the factory in our group built for your stretch fabric, seam type and quantity, and tell you where it is before anything is agreed.

Before you send

What to put in an activewear brief

None of this is required to send a brief: send what you have and we ask for the rest. The more you tick, the faster a factory can quote.

Activewear questions

Straight answers on UK activewear

What brands ask before they send an activewear brief.

From 200 pieces per style. We confirm the exact minimum for your fabric and construction before you commit to anything.

Sampling takes 2–4 weeks. Bulk takes 8–10 weeks from the approved sample. Send the brief at least 14 weeks before your ship date.

The calculator estimate for a full-package activewear piece at 100–300 pieces is £14.40–28.80 per piece. Fabric, seams and prints move the price. The factory quotes you directly once it has your tech pack.

Yes. If you need GOTS, OEKO-TEX or GRS, say so in the brief and we only place it with factories that can show a current certificate for that product.

Not to send a brief. The factory needs one before it can quote accurately and cut a sample. Our tech pack service makes one for £79 per style in 3–5 working days.
