Fabric weight and type move the price of joggers more than anything else, followed by construction details such as pockets and cuffs, then branding, quantity and packing. A tracksuit is priced as two styles, a top and bottoms, so its price is the sum of two quotes, not one.
We quote every style separately, by fabric, quantity and branding, and we do not publish figures. What we can do is explain the white label joggers price factors, so you know which choices change your quote and which ones hardly touch it.
Fabric: the largest input
Bottoms use more fabric than tops of similar size, so the fabric choice shows up clearly in the price.
| Fabric | What raises its cost | What keeps it lower |
|---|---|---|
| French terry | Heavier weight, special colours | Medium weight, standard colours |
| Fleece | Heavier weight, brushing, special colours | A standard weight in a standard colour |
| Polyester knit | Special finishes, exact colour matching for sets | Standard colours |
Heavier fabric costs more per metre and yields fewer pieces. Fleece involves brushing the inside, which is a step French terry does not have. Colour also plays a part: a colour that needs to be dyed for your order, rather than one already available, can change both the price and the lead time.
Style and construction
Every detail on a pair of joggers is a sewing step. Here is how the styles in our white label joggers range compare.
- Joggers: tapered leg plus ribbed or elastic cuffs. The cuffs add a step compared with an open hem.
- Sweatpants: straight or relaxed leg with an open hem. Simpler at the ankle, but a relaxed leg uses more fabric.
- Shorts: less fabric, the same waistband and pocket work.
- Tracksuit sets: a top and bottoms. A zip jacket has a zip, a collar or hood, and often zip pockets; a pullover top is simpler.
Details that add to the price:
- Zip pockets instead of open side pockets.
- A back pocket.
- Contrast panels or side stripes, which add cutting and sewing.
- Special drawcords or tips.
- Extra stitching details.
None of these are expensive on their own, but they add up across a set. If you are working to a target price, tell us; we can suggest where to simplify without changing the look.
Branding
Each branding method has its own set-up and per-piece cost.
- Waistband label: woven and printed labels are priced differently.
- Wash-care label and hang tag: small per-piece items, but they add up.
- Embroidery: priced by stitch count. A small thigh logo costs much less than a large one. On a set, embroidering both pieces doubles the work.
- Screen print: priced by number of colours, print size and positions.
- Heat transfer: suits sharp graphics on polyester knit and short runs of a design.
More positions and more colours mean more steps. One logo per piece in one colour, plus a waistband label, is a clean, cost-conscious starting point.
Quantity, colours and sizes
Joggers are in our knit band, so the minimum is 100 pieces per style, with sizes mixed. Quantity changes the price because set-up work, such as cutting each colour, embroidery programming and print screens, is spread across more pieces.
Colour split matters too. One hundred pieces in one colour is simpler than 100 pieces across four colours, even though the total is the same, because each colour is its own cutting and fabric lot. The colour split is confirmed in your quotation.
Larger sizes use more fabric. If your split leans towards 2XL and 3XL, include it in your enquiry so the quote reflects it.
For a tracksuit set, the top and bottoms are each 100 pieces at least. Matching colour exactly across two pieces sometimes needs both to come from the same fabric lot, which we plan for when we quote.
Packing, sample and shipping
Packing options range from bulk cartons to each piece in a polybag with a size sticker and barcode, or sets packed together in one bag. Each added step adds a little per piece. If you sell on a marketplace, send the specification you have confirmed with them and we quote to it.
The sample is quoted separately, and its terms are confirmed in your quotation. Shipping method, terms and documents are also confirmed in the quotation. We take enquiries from buyers worldwide.
Comparing quotes fairly
Before comparing our quote with another, make sure both cover:
- the same fabric type and weight;
- the same style and details (cuffs, pockets, zips, panels);
- the same branding methods, sizes and positions on each piece;
- the same quantity and colour split;
- the same labels, tags and packing;
- for sets, both pieces.
If the numbers differ, one of these lines usually explains it. Our minimum order and samples page explains how minimums and samples work across our range.
For a quote, send the style, fabric, colours, quantity per size, branding with artwork, packing needs and destination. If you have a target price, include it, and we will tell you which choices fit it.
