6 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Garment Factory

Introduction:

In today’s competitive fashion and workwear industry, choosing the right apparel manufacturing partner is more important than ever. Whether you're scaling up production or launching a new line, your factory partner plays a major role in your product quality, brand reputation, and on-time delivery. But with so many garment factories across Africa and Asia, how do you know who to trust?

At Pragyaa Apparels Kenya EPZ Ltd, we’ve worked with global clients who care deeply about quality, ethics, and consistency. Here are six smart questions every buyer should ask before finalizing their manufacturing partner.

1. What Type of Garments Do They Specialize In?

A factory that understands your product type - whether it's scrubs, workwear, uniforms, or shirts - will deliver better results. Specialization means refined processes, trained teams, and fewer production errors.
✅ At Pragyaa Apparels, we focus on high-volume production of scrubs, uniforms, workwear, and woven garments.

2. Can They Handle Your Order Volumes and Timelines?

Ask about their monthly capacity and turnaround time. A good factory should be transparent about what they can and cannot deliver.
✅ We produce 360,000-400,000 pieces a month and offer clearly defined lead times with consistent performance.

3. How Do They Ensure Quality Control?

Check if quality is monitored during and after production. Does the factory follow a systematic inspection process?
✅ We run in-line, end-line, and final audits on every order to maintain consistent garment quality.

4. Is Communication Clear and Responsive?

Delays and errors often come down to poor communication. Choose a factory that assigns a clear point of contact and provides regular updates.
✅ We offer real-time communication through dedicated account managers - from sampling to shipping.

5. Are Their Labor Practices Ethical and Compliant?

Today’s consumers demand transparency. Partner with factories that follow legal and ethical labor practices.
✅ As an EPZ-registered factory in Kenya, we operate under strict compliance, are WRAP compliant, and prioritize worker well-being.

6. Do They Offer End-to-End Services?

While not always necessary, many buyers benefit from choosing factories that can assist beyond stitching - like fabric sourcing, packing, labeling, or even shipping support.
✅ We collaborate closely with clients to manage packing, labeling, and final dispatch, ensuring a seamless experience.

Conclusion:

Choosing the right apparel manufacturing partner is about more than price. It's about trust, consistency, communication, and values. By asking these six questions, you’ll be better equipped to make the right decision for your brand.
