Decision guide
| If you need… | Lean towards |
|---|---|
| Very large technical activewear runs | Vietnam |
| Team kits plus balls in one shipment | Pakistan |
| Sublimated club and league uniforms | Pakistan |
| A first private-label collection | Compare both on minimums and sampling |
Whichever you choose, compare landed cost and insist on a physical sample. See the broader sportswear manufacturing countries comparison or our sportswear manufacturer page.
