Bra & Lingerie

Bra & Lingerie Manufacturing — Private Label & OEM Production

Bra and lingerie are a more technical category than most apparel — cup construction, elastic recovery, and hardware choices all shape fit in ways a plain top doesn’t. MinMax Textile, based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, produces bras, lingerie sets, sports bras, nursing bras, and related intimate apparel for private-label and OEM buyers. We work from your tech pack, reference sample, or design brief through fabric sourcing, pattern development, and bulk production.

What’s Included in This Category

The range above covers everyday and specialty styles: underwired and wireless bras, molded and soft-cup construction, sports bras, nursing bras, mastectomy-friendly styles, and lingerie or bra sets. Each listing is a starting reference, not a fixed product — private-label orders are built around your own spec, fabric, and branding rather than an off-the-shelf item.

Fabric and Construction Basics

Fit in this category comes down to a handful of decisions, more than the fabric print or colorway:

  • Stretch fabric — nylon-spandex and cotton-spandex blends are common for everyday support; mesh and moisture-managing knits suit sports bras; lace panels are typically layered over a stretch base rather than used alone.
  • Cup construction — molded (pre-shaped foam) cups hold form without seams; seamed or soft cups follow the fabric’s natural drape and are usually lighter.
  • Support type — underwired styles add shape and lift through a wire channel; wireless styles rely on the band and fabric structure instead.
  • Closure and straps — hook-and-eye rows at the back band and adjustable elastic straps are the two hardware points that affect long-term fit and durability.

None of these is automatically “better” — the right combination depends on the end use (everyday wear, sport, nursing access, post-surgical comfort) and your target price point.

Specification Checklist

Decoration Embroidery/print / trim/lace appliqué Placement, wash durability required
Packaging Flat pack / boxed/hanging garment Retail channel and destination market

Sizing and Fit

Cup-and-band sizing systems vary by market (US, UK, and EU sizing don’t align directly), so the size chart you supply — or the one we help you build — needs to state which system it follows. Grading consistency across a size run matters more in this category than in looser-fitting apparel, because small shifts in cup or band measurement are noticeable to the wearer.

Sample development follows a few stages: a proto or first sample typically takes 4–7 working days, a pre-production (PP) sample takes about 10 working days, and a size-set sample — used to confirm grading across your full size range — takes roughly 10 working days once bulk fabric is on hand. Reviewing a size-set sample before bulk cutting is the main way to catch fit issues early.

Private Label and Customization

Labels, hangtags, embroidery, printing, and trim placement are usually confirmed during design review, along with packaging —flat pack, boxed, or hanging garment, depending on your retail channel. Bring reference images, a tech pack, or an existing sample if you have one; it speeds up the first round of costing.

Production and Quality

MOQ generally starts at 2,000 pieces per color, per style, though this can shift depending on fabric, construction complexity, and decoration — worth confirming per style rather than assuming a flat number applies to every design. Lead time runs around 90 days from fabric approval when fabric is imported by sea, or up to 120 days when it starts from fabric, print, or color selection — the difference comes down to how much of the fabric sourcing still needs to happen. Production goes through internal audits, in-process checks, third-party testing on fabric and accessories, and a pre-final inspection at AQL 2.5 before shipment. Payment for samples and orders is typically handled by telegraphic transfer (T/T).

FAQs

What’s the minimum order quantity for a bra style?

MOQ generally starts at 2,000 pieces per color, per style, but complex construction, imported trims, or multiple decoration methods can shift that number. Confirm the MOQ for your specific design during quotation rather than assuming a flat figure.

Can you produce both wired and wireless styles?

Yes — both are common construction types in this category. The choice affects hardware sourcing (underwire channels vs. structured banding) and should be confirmed early, since it changes the sample-development process.

How long does sampling take before bulk production?

A proto or first sample typically takes 4–7 working days. A pre-production sample takes about 10 working days, and a size-set sample — used to check grading across sizes — takes roughly 10 working days once bulk fabric arrives.

Do you handle private-label branding, like woven labels and hangtags?

Labeling, hangtags, and packaging format (flat pack, boxed, or hanging) are typically confirmed as part of the design review, alongside your decoration method. Bring your brand guidelines or existing labels if you have them.

What fabrics are used for sports bras versus everyday styles? Sports bras generally use moisture-managing mesh or performance knits for breathability, while everyday styles more often use nylon-spandex or cotton-spandex blends. The right fabric depends on activity level, climate, and comfort priorities — this is worth discussing during design review.

How is quality checked before shipment?

Production runs through internal audits, in-process checks, and third-party testing on fabric and accessories, followed by a pre-final inspection at AQL 2.5 before goods ship.

What’s the typical lead time from approval to delivery?

Roughly 90 days from fabric approval when fabric is imported by sea, or up to 120 days when the process starts from fabric, print, or color selection. The gap depends on how much sourcing work remains at the start.

Can you produce nursing or mastectomy-style bras?

These are part of the category range shown above. Because they involve specific access or comfort features, share your reference design or requirements early so construction and fabric can be matched to the intended use.
