PRIVATE-LABEL SOURCING GUIDE

How to turn a kids’ pajama idea into a sample-ready brief.

A supplier can quote faster when the buyer separates the market decision, product specification and commercial plan. Start with the minimum information needed to make a sample decision.

1. Define the product’s actual use

State whether the product is sleepwear, loungewear or intended for both. Do not rename sleepwear as ordinary clothing to avoid destination-market requirements. Include the target age and size range.

2. Choose a development route

Available base styleUse an existing garment shape and prepare branding or packaging changes.

Reference sampleSend a physical or visual reference and identify what must change.

Tech packProvide measurements, construction, artwork, labels and bill-of-material direction.

3. Prepare the commercial frame

Estimated units per style and colour
Expected size split

Buyer-required test or document list

4. Use the sample as a decision record

Record changes to measurements, construction, colour, print, labels and packing. The approved version should be identifiable before bulk production begins.
