Printed Shirts Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in Nepal

Nepal imports most of its clothing through Kolkata and the Indian land border at Birgunj, and Kathmandu's retailers and tourist-area shops buy from Indian factories.

Buyers here are wholesalers in Kathmandu and Birgunj buy fashion basics and festive wear; schools and institutions buy uniforms; tourism retailers buy printed and woven garments.

Buyers like cotton kurtis, T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, jackets and school uniforms; Dashain and Tihar drive festive buying.

Cold winters in the hills favour hoodies and jackets from October to February; peaks run through Dashain and Tihar (September–November) and the school year from April.

Goods enter by road from India under the India–Nepal treaty arrangements or by sea through Kolkata; check customs and labelling rules with your broker.

Duties and taxes: Customs duty plus VAT/GST under the national tariff. Rates change, so confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker before you finalise landed cost; we supply the invoice, packing list and certificate of origin needed for clearance.

Timing decides whether printed shirts sell at full price or at a discount in Nepal. Cold winters in the hills favour hoodies and jackets from October to February; peaks run through Dashain and Tihar (September–November) and the school year from April. For printed shirts specifically, printed shirts sell hardest for spring and summer, beach and resort seasons, and festive weeks; orders for the northern summer are placed October–January. Our lead time is 40–50 days including strike-off approval; digital print samples in 7–10 days, plus sea transit of about 3–12 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of printed shirts in Nepal include resort and beachwear retailers, tourist-area boutiques, online fashion sellers and wholesalers supplying summer collections. Around Kathmandu and Birgunj, they usually order 1,000–1,500 pieces per design, with minimum 3 colourways; digital printing allows smaller runs of about 300 pieces per design at a higher unit cost and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

For Nepal we suggest planning printed shirts in two drops, one in lighter fabrics and one in heavier ones, so stock matches the weather rather than sitting unsold.

Sizes: S–3XL regular fit; relaxed and boxy cuts for resort shirts; kids' printed shirts 2–14 years. Colours: Print designs in 4–8 colourways per design; seasonal palettes are suggested for each market.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make printed shirts in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Nepal market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.

How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.

Print quality depends on the base cloth. Rayon challis drapes well and takes bright colours but shrinks if it is not pre-treated, so we ask the printer to pre-shrink and to wash-test every lot. We photograph the print against your Pantone references so shade differences are caught before cutting, not after loading.

Many importers use printed shirts as a bridge product: they add a few designs to a container of basics such as T-shirts and jeans, which spreads the minimums and keeps the shelf fresh without a large commitment.

Nepal is landlocked, so cargo moves by sea to the transit port and then by road or rail. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Nepal; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Folded in individual polybags, 24–36 pieces per carton, with design code on the size sticker for easy store allocation. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Cold wash with like colours, line dry in shade, cool iron on the reverse; rayon prints should not be tumble dried.

Documents supplied with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, plus test reports and compliance documents where your market asks for them. Payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
