A single straight kurti and a three-piece kurta set with a dupatta are very different jobs, so style and set contents move the quote more than anything else, followed by fabric, prints, quantity and branding. We quote each style by fabric, quantity and branding, and knowing the white label kurti price factors lets you decide where to spend and where to keep things simple.
Style, cut and set contents
Each style uses a different amount of fabric and a different number of steps.
| Style | What affects the quote |
|---|---|
| Straight kurti | Length, sleeve, neckline finish, slits |
| A-line kurti | Extra width at the hem uses more fabric |
| Kurta set | Kurta plus bottom, and a dupatta if included |
| Co-ord set | Top plus matching trousers or skirt |
| Men’s kurta | Length, placket, collar and sleeve |
Sets are quoted as sets. A kurta set with trousers and a dupatta involves three pieces cut, stitched, finished and packed together, so it is quoted differently from a kurta set without a dupatta. Set contents are confirmed in your quotation.
Men’s kurtas follow the same logic. A plain kurta with a short placket is simpler than one with a longer button placket, a mandarin collar and side pockets. Tell us the details you want and they are priced into the style.
Details add work too. A shaped neckline with a facing, a placket with buttons, gathers, pleats or a contrast yoke all add steps compared with a plain round neck.
Fabric and prints
We make kurtis in cotton, rayon and linen blend. Each has its own weight, weave and handling, so each prices differently.
- Cotton: crisp and widely used; the quote depends on weight and finish
- Rayon: soft and fluid; it needs careful cutting and handling
- Linen blend: natural texture and a premium feel
Prints matter as well. Solid colours and printed fabric can differ in the quote, and some prints need more fabric because of pattern placement, for example a border print that must sit at the hem. Tell us the kind of print you want, and we confirm what is available in your chosen fabric at quotation.
Length, sleeve and sizes
A longer kurti or a full sleeve uses more fabric than a shorter kurti or a three-quarter sleeve. Larger sizes use more fabric than smaller ones, so an order weighted towards 2XL and 3XL is quoted differently from one weighted towards S and M.
Our women’s styles run XS–3XL and men’s kurtas S–3XL. Tell us the length and sleeve you want for each style, and the size split, so the quote reflects your actual order.
Quantity and splits
The minimum is 50 pieces per style, with sizes mixed. Quantity affects the price per piece because the set-up work, such as patterns, the sample, cutting plans and any embroidery or screen print set-up, is shared across more pieces.
Splitting a style across many colours or prints means more separate cutting runs. A style in two prints is planned differently from the same style in six. The split is confirmed at quotation, as it depends on fabric availability.
Branding, packing and shipping
| Branding item | What changes the price |
|---|---|
| Woven or printed neck label | Size, design and colours |
| Wash-care label | Content and size |
| Hang tag | Card, print, finish and barcode |
| Embroidery | Size, stitch count, thread colours and number of positions |
| Screen print | Size, number of colours and positions |
| Packaging | Polybag, size sticker, tissue, branded sticker, folding method |
Labels and tags are usually a small part of the quote per piece, but they are fixed costs on a first order, because each design is set up once. Reusing the same label and tag design across all your styles keeps that set-up simple and makes your brand look consistent.
Embroidery on a yoke or neckline is a popular finish. A small motif in one or two thread colours is simpler than a dense, full-yoke design.
Shipping depends on destination and method. We take enquiries from buyers worldwide. Shipping method, terms and documents are confirmed in the quotation.
Comparing quotes fairly
When comparing quotes, check that each covers the same style, fabric, print, length and sleeve, the same set contents, the same branding and packing, the sample terms and whether shipping is included. A quote that leaves out the dupatta or uses a lighter fabric is not a like-for-like comparison. Ask, too, how each supplier handles a second sample if the first needs changes, since that can affect both cost and timing.
Keeping cost sensible
- Start with two or three prints per style rather than many.
- Keep embroidery small and focused on one position.
- Use standard packing unless your channel needs more.
- Send your size split and branding details at enquiry, so the quote is complete first time.
