A two-piece set with a collar and buttons uses more fabric and work than a nightdress, and satin in a gift box costs more than cotton poplin in a polybag. Pyjama sets price per piece is quoted style by style, and those two choices, the garment and the finish, move it most.
We quote per style, by fabric, quantity and branding, so there is no fixed price list. This post explains what changes the price for our white label pyjama sets and nightwear, and what you can adjust if the first quotation is higher than planned.
The garment
Style
Each of our four styles uses a different amount of fabric and work:
| Style | What drives its price |
|---|---|
| Shirt-and-trouser set | Two garments; collar, button front, cuffs, long trousers with a waistband |
| Shorts set | Two garments, but less fabric in the shorts and often shorter sleeves |
| Nightdress | One garment; price depends on length and neckline |
| Robe | Generous fabric for the wrap and sleeves, plus a belt |
A set is two garments made to match, so it naturally sits above a single garment such as a nightdress.
Details
Details make nightwear look finished, and each adds a step:
- Piping along a collar, cuffs or pocket.
- A chest pocket, often used for an embroidered logo.
- Contrast trims, such as a collar or cuffs in a second colour.
- Button or tie closures.
- Belt loops and a belt on a robe.
Cotton poplin holds a collar, cuffs and piping neatly, so these details are most common on cotton sets. Ask us to quote with and without a detail if you are unsure whether it is worth it.
Fabric
Fabric is a large part of the price. Cotton poplin, rayon and satin differ, and so does the quality within each. Satin also needs more careful handling in cutting and stitching, as it is fluid and slippery. Fabric is sourced to your approved swatch.
Quantity and colours
Our minimum is 50 pieces per style. Above that, larger quantities usually lower the price per piece, because setting up a style takes similar effort whatever the run length. Sizes can be mixed from S to 3XL without changing this.
Splitting a style across several colours means less fabric per colour, which can affect the price and depends on availability. The colour split per style is confirmed at quotation, as it depends on the fabric and quantity.
If you are near a larger quantity on your main set, ask for both quantities to be quoted.
Branding, packing and shipping
Labels and embroidery
| Element | What changes its price |
|---|---|
| Soft neck label | Type, size, colours |
| Printed inside-neck label | Size and number of colours |
| Wash-care label | Usually a small part of the price |
| Hang tag | Card, print, finish, fastening |
| Embroidery | Stitch count, size, thread colours |
A small embroidered logo on a pocket is the most common visible mark. A larger design or a monogram adds stitches and time.
Packing
Packing varies more in nightwear than in most categories, because so many sets are sold as gifts:
- Polybag with size label: the simplest pack, common for online orders.
- Polybag with barcode sticker: for marketplace or warehouse stock.
- Tissue and a branded pouch: a popular gift pack.
- Tissue and a box: the strongest gift presentation, and the most involved pack.
Shipping
Shipping is quoted separately. Method, terms and documents depend on the destination and are confirmed in the quotation. We take enquiries from buyers worldwide.
Things that matter less than buyers expect
Some choices feel large but usually make little difference to the price per piece:
- Mixing sizes within a style. A spread from S to 3XL is quoted the same way as fewer sizes, though larger sizes use a little more fabric.
- Choosing one solid colour over another in the same fabric, as long as it is in the available options.
- Adding a wash-care label, which most markets expect anyway.
If you are unsure whether a detail affects the quote, list it in your enquiry and we will tell you. It is easier to remove a detail from a quotation than to add one after the sample is approved.
How to bring a quotation down
If the first quote is above your budget, try these one at a time:
- Drop piping or contrast trims on the first run, and add them later.
- Choose cotton poplin over satin for everyday sets, and keep satin for robes or gift lines.
- Reduce colours per style to one or two.
- Use a printed inside-neck label instead of a sewn label.
- Pack in a polybag for online sales and keep pouches or boxes for gift orders only.
- Put more quantity into one set and drop a weaker style.
Each change trades something for a lower price, so check the result on the sample. Our post on pyjama set sizing helps you plan the size split once the style and fabric are settled.
