Workwear Price Slabs: 50, 250, 1,000, and 5,000

For medium and large workwear distributors supplying the USA and Europe.

Each product page shows four guide prices: 50, 250, 1,000, and 5,000 pieces. They are EX-WORKS Sialkot, in USD, per piece. The drop from the first column to the last is the volume break. It is not a discount code, and it is not a negotiation you have to discover by email. The slabs are printed so a new buyer and a repeat buyer can read the same table.

What the slab covers

The rate is for the standard specification on that page, in one color, as a Pakistani factory EX-WORKS price for USA and Europe buyers. AT-401, the cargo trouser, at 1,000 pieces is the 1,000-piece cell on that page — polycotton twill, the pockets listed, no reflective tape, no embroidery. Add a second color and you are splitting the order. If each color is only 50 pieces, each color sits on the 50-piece rate even if the combined total is 250.

Branding is outside the guide cell unless the page says otherwise. A woven label is a small add. A large back print or dense embroidery is more. We price it from the artwork size and the number of positions, then show it as its own line so you can drop it without reworking the garment price.

Why the steps are these four

Fifty pieces is the minimum we will cut as a style. It covers a pilot, a single branch, or a buyer who wants to see bulk cloth before committing a container. Two hundred and fifty pieces is a working reorder for a regional distributor in the USA or Europe. One thousand pieces is a program: one style feeding several customers or one chain. Five thousand pieces is a contracted run where marker efficiency and cloth buying actually change the cost.

The gap between 50 and 250 is often the steepest in percentage terms, because setup is shared across a still-small cut. The gap between 1,000 and 5,000 is smaller per piece and larger in total value. Read both. A buyer who only looks at the 5,000-piece cell and then orders 80 pieces will not receive that cell.

What moves a price off the table

Cloth weight. A 180 GSM trouser and a 280 GSM trouser are not the same cell.
Finish. Water repellent, FR treatment, or a coated cloth is specified separately. FR styles already have their own pages and their own slabs.
Color. Piece-dyed programs and fashion shades can need a surcharge or a higher minimum.
Size curve. An unusual share of 3XL and 4XL uses more cloth than a balanced run.
Packing. Barcoded polybags, assorted sizes in one carton, or hangers add handling.
Trim. Heavy zippers, FR thread, and reflective tape are visible on the spec. If they are not listed, they are not in the price.

Repeat orders

A repeat of the same style code, same cloth, and same color holds the slab that matches the new quantity. It does not automatically keep a 5,000-piece price if this release is 250. It also does not jump backward to the 50-piece price if you are reordering 1,000. Send the style code and the new quantity. If you change the pocket or the tape, it is a revision, and the sample may need to be checked again before we treat it as the same code.

Guide rates on the site can be updated when cloth costs move. Your confirmed proforma is the price for that order. A reorder next season is reconfirmed, not silently copied from an old invoice, if the cloth price has changed. We will say so before you approve.

How to use the table

Open the product closest to your garment. Read the quantity you can ship, not the quantity you hope to grow into. If you are between slabs — 400 pieces, for example — ask. We will price 400 against the neighboring cells rather than force you to pretend it is 250 or 1,000. Then use the quote form and name the style code. The form is there so the reply includes fabric, quantity, and construction in one place.

Comparing EX-WORKS with a domestic price

A number on a USA wholesale sheet often includes the importer’s freight, duty, and margin. The number on this site does not. To compare them, take the EX-WORKS cell for your real quantity, add a freight estimate for the route you actually use, and then add duty if your broker has given you a rate. A coverall that looks expensive at the 50-piece cell can sit in a different place at 1,000 pieces once you stop comparing it with a delivered warehouse price. The reverse is also true. A cheap 5,000-piece cell is not a bargain if you can only sell 80 pieces and the rest sits in your warehouse.

If you are a repeat buyer, keep the last proforma next to the live table. Cloth moves. A style code keeps the construction. It does not freeze the cotton price for the next season. When you send the reorder, ask us to confirm the slab in writing. That confirmation, not a screenshot of the website, is what the invoice follows. Cargo trousers, coveralls, and hi-vis vests all use the same four steps, so you can read a category and a single style with the same rule.
