Kidswear, Uniforms & Workwear 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.

Duties and taxes: 15% GST on imports, plus customs duty. 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.

Kidswear: Children's sets, T-shirts, frocks, shorts and bottoms in soft cotton for boys and girls from infants to 14 years. Typically 500–1,000 pieces per design; sets can be mixed by size within a design; lead time 35–50 days from approved sample.

School Uniforms: School shirts, trousers, skirts, pinafores, blazers, sweaters and PE kits made to school colours and repeat-order standards. Typically 1,000–3,000 pieces per item per school or tender; small schools can be grouped in one order; lead time 45–70 days including shade approval; 30 days on repeat orders.

Workwear & Corporate Uniforms: Coveralls, overalls, hi-vis vests, work shirts, trousers, aprons and corporate uniforms for industry, hospitality and healthcare. Typically 500–1,000 pieces per style; contract orders for mines or plants can be much larger; lead time 35–55 days; hi-vis and flame-retardant styles 45–60 days.

Kidswear and uniforms are repeat-order businesses: children outgrow clothes, schools reorder every term, and companies re-clothe their staff every year. That steadiness makes them attractive to importers, and it rewards a supplier who can match shade, size and trim exactly from one order to the next.

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 kidswear, uniforms & workwear 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: Soft cotton jersey and interlock, poly-cotton drill, twill, gabardine, ripstop.

Size range: Kids 0–14 years by age and height; adult uniforms XS–5XL.

Safety: Kids' wear without small detachable parts or drawcords at the neck; REACH and CPSIA declarations on request.

Fabric weight: Kidswear 120–200 GSM; uniforms 150–260 GSM; workwear 200–320 GSM.

Branding: Logos by embroidery, print or woven badge; own labels and hang tags.

Packing: Ratio packing, individual polybags, bundle packing by size or school year.

We ship from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Auckland in about 20–35 days, quoted FOB, CFR or CIF. Several kidswear, uniforms & workwear can be combined in one container with one set of documents.
