Custom Zip Up Hoodie | 280GSM Cotton Polyester Fleece | Private Label Manufacturer Sialkot

Who We Are

We manufacture custom zip-up hoodies from our facility in Sialkot, Pakistan, working as a private label partner for brands that need consistent, mid-weight fleece production at scale. This particular line runs on a 280 GSM cotton-polyester fleece blend — a lighter, more breathable option than our heavyweight cotton fleece hoodies, better suited for brands targeting warmer climates, athleisure use, or a softer everyday feel rather than a heavy structured drape.

If you've been sourcing zip-ups that either feel too thin and cheap or too bulky for year-round wear, 280 GSM tends to sit in the sweet spot — enough substance to hold shape, light enough to wear without overheating.

Product Specifications

Why 280 GSM Cotton-Polyester

The fabric blend and weight here are a deliberate choice, not a default:

• Breathability — the polyester content helps moisture-wicking and reduces the "heavy, damp" feel pure cotton fleece can get during extended wear
• Shape retention — polyester blends resist stretching and shrinking better than 100% cotton, which matters over repeated washes
• Cost efficiency — a 280 GSM blend typically runs more cost-effective per unit than heavyweight 100% cotton fleece, useful if you're pricing for a broader retail range
• Year-round wearability — lighter than our heavyweight options, so it works as a standalone piece in mild weather or a mid-layer in cold weather

This isn't a "cheaper is worse" trade-off — it's a different product for a different use case. Athleisure brands, everyday basics lines, and brands selling into warmer regions tend to prefer this weight over 400+ GSM heavyweight fleece.

Private Label Process

1. Share your design and specs — logo file, zipper style preference (metal vs. plastic, color-matched vs. contrast), and target quantity
2. Quote and fabric confirmation — we'll walk you through blend ratio and any weight adjustments if needed
3. Sample production — a physical sample is made before bulk starts (charges apply, adjustable against bulk order)
4. Bulk manufacturing — production begins once the sample is approved
5. QC and shipping — every batch is checked for stitching, zipper function, and fabric consistency before it ships

Common Questions:

What's the difference between 280 GSM and your heavier fleece options?
280 GSM cotton-polyester is lighter and more breathable, better for warmer climates or year-round wear. Our heavyweight 100% cotton fleece (380–500 GSM) is better for a structured, premium streetwear look but runs warmer and heavier.

Is 280 GSM too light for embroidery?
No, it handles standard embroidery and most print methods well. Very dense or large embroidery designs may need reinforcement backing, which we can advise on based on your artwork.

Can I customize the zipper hardware?
Yes — zipper color, pull tab branding, and metal vs. plastic zipper options are all available.

What's the cotton-to-polyester ratio in this fabric?
Ratios can be adjusted depending on your priorities (more cotton for softness, more polyester for durability and moisture control) — let us know your preference and we'll confirm what's available.

What's your MOQ for private label zip-up hoodies?
It depends on customization level and whether you need a custom pattern or stock pattern with your branding. Send your target quantity for a specific answer.

Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we export worldwide via air and sea freight, with documentation handled on our end.
