A wholesale uniform price in India, or a kurti wholesale price, is built from the same parts: fabric, making, trims, finishing, packing and the factory's margin. What changes is the fabric and the number of sewing operations. We do not publish figures, because a price without a specification is not a price.
The quote structure is the thing to learn. Once you can read it, you can ask the right question when two offers differ.
How is a uniform quote built?
Uniform fabric is chosen for wear, wash and colour stability, not for fashion. Polyester-cotton blends and plain cotton drills are common, as in workwear and corporate uniform fabric choices. The fabric line depends on the weight, the blend and the finish.
Making cost depends on the garment. A shirt with a collar stand, a placket and two pockets takes longer to sew than a basic tunic. Trousers with a lining, a zip and belt loops take longer again. Embroidered or printed logos are priced per position.
Uniform orders usually come in sizes and colours that must match across years. Ask the factory how it will keep the shade the same on a repeat order. This affects the choice of fabric and dye lot as much as the price.
How is a kurti quote built?
A kurti is priced on fabric, which can be cotton, rayon, georgette or a blend, plus embroidery, print and trims. Hand work, such as embroidery or sequins, is a large share of the cost on a decorated style. Kurtas and ethnic wear for overseas buyers describes the range of styles and fabrics.
Size range matters. Kurtis are usually cut in a set of sizes, and a longer length or a wider sweep uses more fabric. Lining, side slits, buttons and piping all add to the sewing time.
Lines to check in a quote
Ask the factory to show these lines separately, even if you receive a single total. This also helps if you are comparing a uniform price for wholesale in India against a garment of a different design:
- Fabric consumption per piece and the fabric specification, including width and weight.
- The making charge, with the number of operations assumed.
- Trims and labels, listed by type.
- Decoration, such as print, embroidery or logo, with positions and sizes.
- Packing, including polybag, tissue, hanger or carton.
- Minimum quantity per style, size and colour.
Why two quotes can be far apart
The most common reason is a different fabric. A lighter fabric, a lower thread count or a poorer dye all lower the price without being visible in the sample. Another is a different grade of work. Uneven stitching, loose threads and poorly finished seams cost less to produce.
Another cause is the payment and delivery basis. A price for goods ex-factory leaves out packing, export clearance and transport to the port, while an FOB price includes them. Check also the measurements. A garment made at the low end of the tolerance uses less cloth. Ask for the size chart and the tolerance in writing, and use garment measurement checks to verify them on the sample.
