An authoritative technical guide for procurement directors, apparel brand founders, and global supply chain managers evaluating modern full-package OEM/ODM garment factories.
Under the strict OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) model, our factory executes client-provided technical packs, CAD files, spec sheets, and exact material directives. Ideal for established fashion houses requiring precision Cut-Make-Trim (CMT) or Full Package FOB execution where intellectual property, exact graded measurement charts, and custom trims are fully specified by the buyer.
Our ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) framework empowers growing labels and retail chains to leverage our in-house R&D design library. We provide turnkey apparel solutions including trend-forecasting silhouettes, pre-tested fabric blends, custom private labeling, and optimized pattern templates—significantly cutting time-to-market and initial sampling overheads.

Headquartered in the premier DLF Industrial Area, Phase-1, Faridabad, Haryana, India, Kanakam Exports operates a modernized garment manufacturing plant equipped with automated CAD cutting suites, high-precision sewing lines, and in-house embroidery machinery.
We specialize in processing both woven and knitted textiles across ladies fashion, streetwear, sportswear, outerwear, and children's wear. Our dual capability allows global buyers to consolidate complex mixed-material orders under a single certified OEM factory umbrella.
Our process-driven manufacturing protocols enforce rigorous multi-stage quality checks, eliminating production anomalies prior to export packaging.
100% 4-Point System fabric inspection upon mill arrival. We test yarn count, GSM weight accuracy, shrinkage control, color fastness to washing/rubbing, and torque angle stability before pattern cutting.
Dedicated quality controllers conduct in-line checks at 10% packing and mid-line audits at 50% packing. Seam strength, stitch density (SPI), tension, and dimensional tolerances (+/- 0.5cm) are continuously monitored.
100% final inspection according to international AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) standards. Complete audit of needle-detector passing, packaging integrity, barcodes, hangtags, and carton drop testing.
What elevates Kanakam Exports beyond traditional cut and sew factories is our seamless integration of ancient Indian textile embellishment techniques into modern commercial apparel lines.
We collaborate directly with rural artisan clusters across India, providing fair-wage livelihoods while granting luxury global brands access to rare handcraft techniques:
Strategic market forces reshaping the global garment manufacturing landscape and how forward-thinking fashion brands are adapting their supply chain strategy.
Global retailers are actively rebalancing sourcing footprints away from over-concentrated regions. India has emerged as the prime destination for high-value cut and sew manufacturing due to vast raw cotton reserves, competitive labor, and sophisticated textile clusters.
Regulatory frameworks such as the EU Digital Product Passport demand verified eco-friendly practices. Procurement leaders prioritize factories offering GOTS-certified organic cotton, recycled polyester (rPET), low-impact reactive dyes, and zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) finishing.
To minimize deadstock risks, modern brands utilize low initial MOQs with rapid repeat order triggers. Our flexible production lines allow brands to test market demand with 100-300 piece batches before scaling into volume production runs.
Detailed answers to critical OEM/ODM sourcing questions regarding minimum order quantities, lead times, tech packs, and quality guarantees.
Our standard production MOQ typically starts at 100 to 300 pieces per style/colorway depending on fabric complexity and custom embellishment requirements. For established brand partners launching seasonal test collections, we offer flexible low-MOQ sampling programs.
For seamless OEM production, ideal tech packs include detailed CAD vector illustrations, graded measurement specs, bill of materials (BOM), fabric composition & GSM target, Pantone color references, label/tag placements, and packaging specifications. If you do not have complete tech packs, our in-house engineering team can develop them for you.
Proto-sample development takes approximately 7 to 14 working days following fabric availability. Once pre-production samples (PPS) receive client sign-off, bulk cut-and-sew production typically spans 30 to 45 days, depending on order volume and hand-embellishment complexity.
We support all standard international Incoterms including FOB (Free On Board), CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight), and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). Our export department prepares complete documentation including Certificates of Origin, commercial invoices, packing lists, and bill of lading for smooth customs clearance worldwide.
