What information does MABE need to get started?
To kick off the sampling process or move forward with your order, we’ll need the following:
Complete Tech Pack or the actual garment to be couriered to us.
Details about the fabric construction, GSM, and the knitting/weaving style of the base fabric, along with your logo and artwork design files (if available).
Your expected order quantities per size and color.
What type of orders does MABE prefer?
MABE works best with long-term contracts where clients provide a forecast of their monthly requirements. This allows us to efficiently organize raw materials and manage contingencies, ensuring that we can deliver consistent, ready-to-ship products on time.
What are your MOQs for cost-effective pricing?
Since MABE specializes in bespoke apparel manufacturing, MOQs vary based on the design complexity, base fabric, and any additional accessory requirements. However, for cost-effective pricing, we typically recommend minimum order quantities of 500 or more pieces per style/colour.
How long does it take for sample development?
The time required for sample development depends on the design and materials involved. Typically, it takes anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks from the date we receive all the necessary information and sample payment.
General & Design
Do I need to provide my own designs, or can I choose from your stock options?
At MABE, we offer flexibility. You can either provide your own designs, and we'll bring them to life based on your specifications, or you can choose from our stock designs. We have a wide range of pre-existing designs and styles available for customization. Whether you want something unique or prefer to modify an existing design, we're here to make it work for you!
Are my designs secure with MABE?
Absolutely! At MABE, we take your privacy seriously. We follow a strict non-disclosure policy, which means your designs are never shared, shown, or used by anyone outside of our company’s ecosystem.
After a certain period, some designs may be showcased in our factory’s sample room, but only for reference purposes, and only if they’re no longer “fresh.” Rest assured, we never replicate designs for any other client.
Additionally, we’re always open to signing an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) to further protect your intellectual property.
Which file formats do you prefer for design submissions?
To ensure that your design doesn’t lose quality when resized, we recommend submitting files in vector format. The best option is an .ai (Adobe Illustrator) file, but we can also work with the following formats: .pdf (if vector-based), .jpeg, .eps, .tiff
We avoid pixelated designs, so a vectorized file will ensure your artwork stays sharp and clear at any scale.
How does it work as MABE is located in India?
In today’s tech-savvy world, staying connected across distances is easy! At MABE, we make it seamless to communicate with you via phone, email, and instant messaging platforms like Telegram and WhatsApp.
We can also set up video conferences through Zoom/Meet or any other preferred platform if you’d like to discuss your ideas face-to-face. If needed, we can even send you a physical prototype of your design via courier, which will typically arrive in 3-5 days.
Shipping & Logistics
Can MABE deliver the products to us?
Yes, MABE can deliver the finished products directly to you via air or sea. Air shipping typically takes 5-7 days, while sea shipping can take 35-45 days, depending on the destination.
If you prefer door-to-door delivery, we can also arrange that for you, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free process.
How much will it cost to ship the goods to us?
Shipping costs depend on two main factors: destination and the weight/volume of the shipment. To provide you with the best possible quote, we will need both of these details. Once we have them, we’ll get back to you with the most accurate shipping costs.
What is MABE's mailing address and the process for sending a reference sample?
Our mailing address is the same as listed on our Contact page. Before sending your reference sample, we kindly ask that you email or call us to confirm the details. In many cases, we can also evaluate the sample during a Zoom meeting if you prefer not to send it physically.
