starting a clothing brand?


how to start a clothing line with no experience?
starting a clothing brand with no experience might seem daunting, but don't worry – we’ve got your back! at apliiq, we've got every trick in the book on how to start a successful clothing line from scratch. we've got the products, the services, and the expert guidance and support to help you bring your vision to life without the need for any prior experience – just a passion for fashion and a willingness to learn.

how much does it cost to start a clothing line?
the cost of starting a clothing brand varies depending on what you want to achieve. are you looking to create a small clothing line or a full-fledged empire? whether you want to play it safe or “go big or go home,” we've got you covered. with our on-demand dropshipping model, you can start a clothing line with minimum upfront costs and zero risk.
that's right – you only pay when a customer places an order. so, whether you're a startup fashion entrepreneur or an established brand looking to expand, apliiq's got the solutions you need to get your clothing line up and running in no time.

what's included with the label subscription?
the subscription includes reviewing your artwork and providing you with a digital mock-up for approval, making 100 of your labels for $100, storing them at our manufacturing facility, and sewing them into your products as you or your customers order them. 
each label can only be used once per design. you can create 2 identical labels in your account if you want to use the same label twice on your designs. it's common for customers to create more than one label design to be used in different places or with different label designs. for each label design, simply add another subscription to your account. 

how to make a clothing brand with private and woven labels?
we recommend you start branding your clothing by upgrading your account to get your woven labels since they take about 2-3 weeks to make. then, you can select your label location in the online design tool for your products. after that, we recommend you order a few sample products. 
we will hold your sample order until your labels are ready, then sew them in. if you'd like to remove the manufacturer's tag, leverage our private labeling service, which can be used alongside woven labels.

what happens if i run out of labels?
we track your label inventory for you, and you can set an automatic re-order quantity for your labels on your subscriptions page. for example, you can automatically order 100 more labels when your label inventory reaches 25 labels. if you ever run out of labels, you can always purchase more whenever you need to.
