ntroduction
Launching a sportswear brand is thrilling, but choosing the wrong sportswear manufacturer in Pakistan can quickly turn your dream into a nightmare.
Sialkot, Pakistan’s sportswear capital, produces over $1 billion in custom team uniforms, activewear, and accessories annually, making it a global hub for brands in the USA, UK, and Europe.
With hundreds of factories to choose from, how do you avoid costly mistakes that waste time, money, and your reputation?
In this guide, we’ll uncover the 7 most common mistakes brands make when selecting a sportswear manufacturer in Pakistan — and share practical solutions from Akhzar Exports, a trusted Sialkot-based partner with 15 years of experience.

Mistake 1: Choosing a Manufacturer Without Sportswear Expertise
Not every custom sportswear manufacturer in Pakistan understands the technical needs of sportswear. Some produce basic t-shirts but fail with performance gear like compression t-shirts, jackets, or sports uniforms.
One client shared that their supplier delivered soccer kits where the stitching fell apart mid-match — a costly lesson.
✅ Our Fix: At Akhzar Exports, we specialize in custom sportswear manufacturing from Sialkot, producing everything from sports jerseys to custom t-shirts using premium fabrics and advanced machinery.
Mistake 2: Chasing the Cheapest Price

Low bids often mean cheap fabrics, poor stitching, and short product life. This leads to returns, one-star reviews, and unsellable stock.
✅ Our Fix: We prioritize quality over shortcuts. Our fleece jackets, sports tracksuits, and sports uniforms are crafted from certified, durable fabrics (like OEKO-TEX® approved materials) that meet international standards.
Mistake 3: Ignoring Customization Options

A brand’s uniqueness depends on customization. Some factories can’t handle advanced processes like:
- Sublimation printing (for vibrant soccer kits)
- Screen printing (for custom t-shirts & sweatshirts)
- Custom embroidery (for logos on hoodies, gloves, and caps)
✅ Our Fix: We offer complete cut & sew manufacturing, plus custom sublimation, screen printing, and embroidery to bring your designs to life.
Mistake 4: Overlooking Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs)

Many factories require bulk orders (500–1000+ units), making it difficult for startups to launch collections.
✅ Our Fix: Akhzar Exports provides flexible MOQs starting at just 50 units, helping new brands in the USA, UK, and Europe test their markets without overspending.
Mistake 5: Poor Communication & Delayed Responses

Time zones and language barriers can delay answers to simple questions. Poor communication = delayed launches.
✅ Our Fix: Our English-speaking support team is available 24/7. From sampling to shipping, we keep you updated at every step.
Mistake 6: Forgetting About Global Shipping

A factory may produce well but fail at logistics. Without reliable shipping, your supply chain collapses.
✅ Our Fix: With trusted logistics partners, we ensure on-time global shipping to the USA, UK, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East.
Mistake 7: Limiting Yourself to a Narrow Product Range

Some factories only specialize in one or two products. You’ll then need multiple suppliers, which increases costs and breaks consistency.
✅ Our Fix: Akhzar Exports is a one-stop sportswear manufacturer in Sialkot, offering:
- Custom hoodies, jackets, sweatshirts
- Team uniforms (basketball, soccer, baseball, ice hockey)
- Activewear (leggings, sports bras, running shorts)
- Gloves, accessories, and casual wear
