Garment & Textile Manufacturing — Nationwide
Connect with contract garment factories on vServe for CMT/FOB manufacturing, bulk uniforms, embroidery, printing and fabric finishing in Ho Chi Minh City. Quotes are given per batch since price depends on volume, fabric and technical complexity.
Industry overview
Garment manufacturing prices on vServe range from 800,000 VND for a single sample to 500,000,000 VND for a large production batch, since every order depends on quantity, fabric and technical complexity. Factories quote a specific price after reviewing your design and volume — there's no fixed rate for the whole industry.
When a business needs contract garment manufacturing
Businesses usually look for a contract factory when an order exceeds their in-house capacity, when they need a sample made quickly before signing a large contract, or when they want a specialist workshop to handle a single stage — embroidery, printing, beadwork — instead of doing everything in one place. Orders under 500 units are often hard to place with CMT factories, since they prioritize larger runs to keep their lines efficient; ask each provider on vServe about their minimum order quantity (MOQ) before requesting a quote.
CMT vs FOB — what's the difference
CMT (Cut-Make-Trim) means the factory only sews using fabric and trims you supply, priced at 20,000,000 – 500,000,000 VND depending on quantity and product complexity. FOB means the factory handles everything — sourcing fabric, sewing, packing for export — priced at 50,000,000 – 500,000,000 VND per order since material cost is included. Choose CMT if you already have a fabric supply chain and want to control input quality; choose FOB if you want a turnkey solution and lack import experience.
Embroidery, printing, beadwork — finishing that adds value
Computerized embroidery suits logos and repeating patterns at scale, priced 2,000,000 – 150,000,000 VND per item/batch depending on stitch complexity. Hand embroidery is for premium pieces — áo dài, wedding gowns — priced much higher at 5,000,000 – 300,000,000 VND per item/batch since it's billed by manual labor hours. Fabric printing and beadwork/rhinestone work are usually ordered after the garment pattern is finalized, to avoid redoing work if the silhouette changes.
How ordering works on vServe
Send a request describing the product, expected quantity, fabric and desired delivery time; providers respond with a quote within 45–120 minutes depending on the service, since they need to calculate material yield and labor cost. All services in this category run on quote mode — there's no listed fixed price; the ranges in the price table are for budget estimation before you discuss details with the factory.
Working with a Vietnamese contract factory — things to check
vServe verifies a provider's tax code and business registration, but does not check actual production capacity or certifications such as ISO, BSCI or WRAP — ask the factory for these documents and visit the production line before placing a large order. For FOB export orders, agree in writing on inspection terms (AQL) and delivery timeline before mass production starts.

Frequently asked questions
How much does CMT garment manufacturing cost per unit?
Prices range 20,000,000 – 500,000,000 VND for the whole batch, not per individual unit, since factories quote based on total order size. The exact figure depends on quantity, technical difficulty (number of seams, cutting details) and the materials you supply. The factory needs your tech pack or a sample to give an accurate quote.
Should I choose CMT or FOB for an export order?
Choose CMT if you already source and control your own fabric and trims and just need sewing done, priced 20,000,000 – 500,000,000 VND. Choose FOB if you want the factory to handle sourcing, sewing and export packing end-to-end, priced 50,000,000 – 500,000,000 VND per order. FOB costs more per order because material cost is bundled in, but it needs less supply-chain experience from you.
What's the minimum order quantity (MOQ) factories accept?
There's no industry-wide MOQ since each factory sets its own based on line capacity. CMT/FOB factories usually prefer orders of several hundred units or more to keep cutting and sewing efficient; sample orders or small embroidery/printing jobs are accepted individually. Ask each provider on vServe about their MOQ before requesting a quote.
How long does a production batch take to deliver?
vServe doesn't set a fixed delivery time since it depends on quantity, production season and any finishing steps (embroidery, printing, beadwork) involved. The factory states a specific timeline in its quote, usually counted in weeks for large batches. Agree on a delivery deadline in writing before mass production starts to avoid delays.
Does vServe check factory quality before listing them?
vServe verifies a provider's tax code and business registration, but does not check actual production capacity or certifications like ISO, BSCI or WRAP. You should ask the factory directly for these certificates and visit the production line before placing a large order, especially for export shipments.
How does hand embroidery pricing differ from computerized embroidery?
Hand embroidery costs 5,000,000 – 300,000,000 VND per item/batch, higher than computerized embroidery (2,000,000 – 150,000,000 VND per item/batch) because it's billed by manual labor hours rather than machine speed. Hand embroidery suits premium, low-volume, intricate designs; computerized embroidery suits high-volume, repeating patterns like uniform logos.
Is making a sample before mass production required?
It's not mandatory but recommended, especially for large orders or a new factory relationship. Sample pricing is 800,000 – 40,000,000 VND depending on pattern complexity — far cheaper than risking a whole batch if the mass-produced pattern turns out wrong. After the sample is approved, the factory can calculate exact material needs to quote the rest of the order.
How costly is fixing fabric defects or reworking a faulty batch?
Prices range 2,000,000 – 80,000,000 VND per batch, with a wide spread because it depends on the type of defect (color, pattern, stitching) and how many units need reworking. The factory needs to inspect the faulty batch directly to quote, since some batches need only minor fixes while others require nearly full re-sewing.
