Affix Apparel

What Affix Apparel does

Affix Apparel is a privately held B2B custom apparel manufacturer founded in 2014, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with production operations based in a sweatshop-free facility in Karachi, Pakistan. The company provides end-to-end made-to-order manufacturing and private-label services to retail brands, startups, emerging clothing lines, corporate/institutional buyers, and hospitality clients, with an explicit focus on low minimum order quantities (MOQs) starting at 50 pieces.

Its core technical capabilities span cut-and-sew manufacturing, screen printing, all-over sublimation printing, custom embroidery, private labeling, and custom apparel packaging. The product portfolio covers more than twenty categories, including T-shirts, hoodies, jeans, leggings, sportswear, lingerie, swimwear, underwear, socks, hats, leather goods, baby/kids apparel, towels, bed and bath linens, cushion covers, and uniforms. Supporting infrastructure includes pattern making, fabric sourcing, grading, sample production, and international shipping from the Pakistan facility to the US, UK, Australia, and Canada.

Affix Apparel generates revenue through one-time, per-order production fees on a quote-based pricing model with quantity discounts and per-piece rates. Its go-to-market is sales-led and consultation-driven: customers initiate via website quote requests, then move through consultation, design mockups, sample production, and full-scale manufacturing. Marketing relies on website SEO, blog content, organic social media, email, and direct contact. The company holds SEDEX, OEKO-TEX, and USDA Organic certifications supporting its ethical-supply and sustainability positioning.

Direct peers

• Indie Source: Indie Source is a B2B custom clothing manufacturer offering low-MOQ cut-and-sew, private label and full-package apparel production with manufacturing based in Pakistan and a US sales front-end, making it one of the closest direct comparables to Affix in business model, customer segment and production geography.
• Apliiq: Apliiq is a private-label apparel manufacturer that produces custom clothing and accessories (bags, hats, hoodies, jackets) for brands, with low MOQs and integrated design/printing services. Its product breadth and brand-builder customer base overlap directly with Affix's emerging-brand focus.
• Startup Threads: Startup Threads is a custom apparel manufacturer that explicitly targets startup clothing brands with low MOQs, cut-and-sew production, screen printing, embroidery and private label services. Its positioning, services and target customer are essentially identical to Affix's.
• Sewbon Clothing Manufacturing: Sewbon is a US-based small-batch clothing manufacturer offering low-MOQ cut-and-sew, pattern making and private label services to emerging brands. Its service stack and customer segment are directly comparable to Affix's offering.
• Apparel Production Inc. Apparel Production Inc. is a US-based cut-and-sew apparel manufacturer providing full-package production, pattern making and sample services for emerging and established brands, competing in the same low-to-mid MOQ private-label space as Affix.

Broad incumbents

• Printful: Printful is a large print-on-demand and fulfillment platform serving apparel brands with zero-MOQ printing, embroidery and warehousing. It overlaps with Affix's emerging-brand customer base and customization services but operates a fundamentally different no-inventory model.
• Custom Ink: Custom Ink is a US-based custom apparel platform specializing in screen printing and embroidery for groups, teams, businesses and brands. It serves similar end-customers (custom apparel buyers) but with a platform-driven, higher-MOQ model and broader retail brand.
• SanMar: SanMar is one of the largest US wholesale apparel distributors, supplying blanks and decorated apparel to printers, embroiderers and brands. While not a direct custom manufacturer, it serves the same apparel ecosystem and competes indirectly for customer spend that might otherwise go to custom manufacturers like Affix.
• Alphabroder: Alphabroder (now S&S Activewear) is a major US wholesale apparel distributor offering blanks, decoration supplies and decorated apparel services to the imprintable apparel industry. It sits adjacent to Affix's market by serving decorators and brand customers that also source custom apparel.

Emerging players

• Printify: Printify is a print-on-demand marketplace connecting brands with a global network of printing partners. It targets the same emerging DTC apparel brands as Affix but via an asset-light platform model, representing a long-term competitive threat to traditional low-MOQ manufacturers.
