01 / Select the blank
One developed garment route, with two ways to supply the base.
Use confirmed stock when it fits the programme, or produce an approved blank to plan; then add printing, embroidery, private labels and packaging without reopening the base garment.
Blank apparel customization starts with a developed garment style and adds brand-specific decoration or finishing. The garment may come from confirmed available stock or be produced to programme; in both cases, the base pattern, fit, fabric and construction remain substantially unchanged.
It is different from full custom clothing manufacturing. If shoulder shape, measurements, panels, fabric construction or garment engineering must change, a cut-and-sew development route is more appropriate. DRIOV reviews garment availability or production, artwork, labels, packaging and destination information together before confirming feasibility.
- Logo merchandise using an approved base garment
- Team, event and corporate apparel programmes
- Small brand capsules with repeat-order potential
- Buyers prioritising speed over original pattern development
Five approvals take a selected blank garment through decoration and handover.
Choose the developed garment first, then keep artwork, labels and packing details aligned through approval and inspection.

Choose the garment before adapting the branding.
01
Choose the base garment first
Confirm silhouette, size range, fabric weight, colour and stock or production route before artwork is adapted.
02
Match decoration to the surface
Print, embroidery and heat-transfer choices depend on fabric stability, texture, placement and the required hand feel.
03
Record repeat-order details
Keep garment reference, colour standard, artwork version, label position and packing instructions in one approval record.
Need a different starting point?
Move to full custom when the garment itself must change.
Original measurements, pattern pieces, fabric construction, panels or seams need a sample-led cut-and-sew route.
Explore full custom clothing manufacturingBlank apparel customization questions.
When is blank apparel customization better than cut and sew?
Use a blank when an existing fit, fabric and construction already meet the brief and the main changes are printing, embroidery, labels or packaging. Use cut and sew when the garment itself must be redesigned.
Can I add my own neck label to a blank T-shirt or hoodie?
Often, but the existing label construction must be checked first. Removal, cover-up, printed neck labels and replacement woven labels have different risks and should be approved on a sample.
What is the MOQ for customized blank apparel?
There is no single website-wide MOQ. Quantity depends on stock availability or the production route, chosen garment, colours, decoration method, label or packaging minimums and production plan. Share a range so a practical route can be reviewed.
Can the same blank support screen printing and embroidery?
It may, provided the fabric, artwork and placement are compatible. Test large prints, dense embroidery and backing on the selected garment rather than assuming every decoration method produces the same result.
