Activewear, Knitwear & Caps Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter in New Zealand

New Zealand is a small, high-income market with a large Pacific and Indian community, strong outdoor and workwear needs and a growing online retail sector.

Buyers here are importers in Auckland supply retailers and online sellers; wholesalers buy ethnic and Pacific-print wear; construction and farming firms buy workwear.

Buyers want quality cotton basics, hoodies, outdoor wear, workwear and ethnic wear.

Seasons are reversed; winter lines are ordered by December; peaks include Christmas, summer holidays and Matariki.

Garments need country-of-origin and fibre labelling; children's wear follows safety standards; check duty with your broker.

Knitwear is the strength of Tiruppur, Ludhiana and Noida. Track pants, joggers, hoodies and sports jerseys are made on fast circular-knit lines, and caps and headwear are made in Delhi NCR and Mumbai. These products are bought by sports clubs, promotional companies, retailers and wholesalers, and they suit mixed containers with T-shirts and polos.

Importers in Auckland supply retailers and online sellers; wholesalers buy ethnic and Pacific-print wear; construction and farming firms buy workwear.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make activewear, knitwear & caps in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the New Zealand 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.

Fabrics: Cotton French terry, brushed fleece, interlock, polyester micro-mesh, dry-fit knit.

Size range: S–3XL adult; kids 4–14 years; XS–5XL on request.

Fabric weight: Track pants 180–280 GSM; hoodies 280–380 GSM; jerseys 130–180 GSM.

Decoration: Sublimation, screen print, embroidery, applique, heat-transfer.
