What is the minimum order for custom tank tops?

From 50–100 pieces per style and colour, agreed case by case with the partner factory. Sizes can mix inside a colour; colours count separately. Our low MOQ page explains the options.

How much does a tank top cost to make in Portugal?

Plan on the t-shirt base in our cost calculator: €6–11 per piece ex-factory at 300–500 units, mid-range fabric and standard complexity. Screen print adds about €1.40 a unit and embroidery €1.80. Your tech pack sets the final quote.

Do you make ribbed tanks and singlets as well as jersey tanks?

Yes. Jersey tanks, 1x1 and 2x2 rib tanks, racerback singlets and vests are all jersey cut and sew. Training singlets in technical stretch fabric follow our activewear page.

How long does tank top production take?

Plan on 5 to 7 weeks of production after a sample round of 2 to 3 weeks. Launching for summer on a fixed date? Brief us at least 12 weeks before it.

Can tanks and t-shirts go in one order?

Yes. Both are jersey cut and sew, so the partner factory can run them side by side. Each style and colour still has its own minimum.

Can I get organic or certified jersey?

Yes, where the partner factory and its fabric mill hold the certificate your claim needs. Certificates are held in the partner factory’s name, and you can check them before you order. See our GOTS page.

Ribbed tanks

Ribbed tanks: the details that decide the fit

A rib tank looks simple, but the rib, the armhole finish and the length do all the work. These are the points our team checks in your tech pack before a sample is cut.

Where it’s made

Where tank tops are made

Jersey and rib are knitted before they are cut, so tank tops are made in the same northern towns as t-shirts, close to the mills that supply the fabric.
