Small-batch production partner · Dhaka, Bangladesh

Bangladesh pricing, with the control a big buyer gets.

Seamvector is the small-batch production partner for emerging brands: jersey and fleece basics, flat-knit knitwear, and utility and workwear, from 100 pieces per style — confirmed at costing. Every style on one record from tech pack to bill of lading. AI does the watching. People make the call.

  • From 100 pcs per style
  • One record per style
  • Delays flagged the day they become likely

Built for emerging brands

  • 100 to 1,000 pcs per style

    Small runs, quoted and tracked like a large order. 100 pcs per style is our floor; 50 only on stock fabric, at a higher price.

  • Moving from blanks or print-on-demand to cut-and-sew

    Your own fit, fabric weight, labels and trims, with a numbered query list on your tech pack within one business day.

  • Moving a small program out of China, or adding a second source

    A lower-cost second source alongside Portugal or Turkey, with the same record and the same checks on every style.

AI does the watching. People make the call.

  • Every style on one record

    Tech pack, comments, samples, inspection photos and dates sit on one thread per style — not in a chain of forwarded email. You see the same view we see.

  • Problems surface at the tech pack, not at the fit sample

    Measurements, consumption and the delivery calendar are checked against the pack the day it lands, so a contradiction costs an email instead of a re-cut.

  • A delay is reported the day it becomes likely, not the week it happens

    The calendar is watched against actual output. When a date starts to slip, a merchandiser tells you that day, with the options — before it becomes a claim.

What we make

Three lanes, each made from 100 pieces per style. Everything else is quoted on request. Starting ranges are working figures, confirmed per style at costing.

Also on request

Not a focus, but we take them on when a brand asks. Each is quoted per style; denim from about 300 pcs.

100 pcs per style is the floor; 50 only on stock fabric, at a higher price. Fees: a development fee of 100–150 USD per style, credited against the service fee on bulk; a service fee of 10–12% of FOB with a 350 USD minimum per order, on its own invoice. The factory is the exporter, and you pay it in stages: a deposit, then the balance before shipment once final inspection has passed. Details on the fees and minimums page.

Audits we require before any order

We place an order only with a factory that can show the following, and you see the reports and their dates before you approve the factory — not after. These are the factory’s own audits and certificates, never Seamvector’s.

RSC / Accord
amfori BSCI
SEDEX / SMETA
WRAP
Higg FSLM

Building-safety status must be current (RSC / Accord or equivalent), with a fire licence, a trade licence, BGMEA or BKMEA membership and an export registration on file. Social audits must show closed corrective actions: one of amfori BSCI, SEDEX / SMETA, WRAP or Higg FSLM. Where your product needs a product certificate, it must name the factory itself.

How an order runs

  1. Tech pack

    Read the day it lands. Every ambiguity, missing spec and internal contradiction — measurement chart against construction callout, trim against fabric — comes back as one numbered query list.

    You receive:

    A numbered query list and a feasibility note, within one business day.

  2. Costing and factory match

    Matched on machine type, proven capability in the category, certification status and current floor load — not on who happens to be free.

    You receive:

    A costing breakdown and the proposed factory, with its current audit status and report date.

  3. Sampling

    Proto, fit, size set, PP. Every comment is logged against the style, so revision three knows what revision one said.

    You receive:

    A photographed sample review and the full comment history per style.

  4. Pre-production

    Trims, fabric, lab dips, PP meeting. Approvals are recorded against the style before cutting starts.

    You receive:

    A PP approval pack with lab dip and trim approvals dated.

  5. Inline production

    Daily output is tracked against plan; inline checks are photographed and timestamped on the floor.

    You receive:

    A daily production report — plus an exception the day the calendar slips, not at the next report.

  6. Pre-final inspection

    An internal assessment of the goods against the approved sample, before the buyer's final inspection and while there is still time to rework. Its purpose is that final goods do not get rejected — whatever the final AQL would fail is found here first.

    You receive:

    A pre-final assessment report with photo evidence, the defects found and the rework agreed.

  7. Final inspection

    AQL 2.5 major / 4.0 minor, critical 0 — General Inspection Level II, normal severity (ISO 2859-1) — or your protocol. Checked against the approved sample and photographed.

    You receive:

    An inspection report with photo evidence and the measurement record.

  8. Test reporting and quality documentation

    Lab test reports for the order, run to the buyer's test requirements, are collected with the quality documents into one pack before booking.

    You receive:

    The lab test reports and the quality document pack, on the style's record before shipment.

  9. Shipment and documents

    Booking, and the document set your bank and customs need.

    You receive:

    CI, PL, BL, COO and the full pack; ETD confirmed.

Capabilities

Tech pack in, costing out

Send a tech pack: indicative FOB range and a factory match within 48 hours.

Sourcing and factory match

Factories are matched on machine type, proven capability in the category, audit status and current floor load.

Merchandising

Sample comments, approvals, trims and the delivery calendar are kept on each style's record, not in someone's inbox.

Supply chain

Goods, fabric, trims and other materials are arranged so that each one arrives when the line needs it.

Quality assurance

Inline checks photographed and timestamped on the floor; a pre-final assessment ahead of the final; final inspection to AQL 2.5 major / 4.0 minor, critical 0 (General Inspection Level II, normal severity, ISO 2859-1) or to your protocol.

Logistics and documents

Booking, and the document set your bank and customs need — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin — with ETD confirmed.

About

Seamvector is a small-batch production partner for emerging brands, based in Dhaka, Bangladesh and founded in 2026. It gets jersey and fleece basics, flat-knit knitwear, and utility and workwear made in Bangladeshi factories from 100 pieces per style, and quotes other categories on request.

Small brands are told that no factory will take a small order, that nothing is heard after the deposit, that quality shows only on arrival and that the final cost is a surprise. Seamvector answers each with something you can check: published minimums and fees, one record per style, photographed checks before the balance is paid, and a named person.

Software reads the tech pack, watches the calendar and keeps the record. People make the calls — which factory, which fix, which delay to flag — and a named person answers your email.

What buyers ask before a first order

What does a buying house in Bangladesh do?

A buying house sits between an overseas buyer and Bangladeshi factories. It picks factories against the tech pack, runs costing and sampling, follows production and inspection, and handles shipping documents, so the buyer does not manage each factory separately.

Why use a buying house instead of going factory-direct?

One accountable contact and one record instead of several factory relationships. We handle factory selection, costing, follow-up and inspection; you see the record. If you already have a factory you trust, going direct is reasonable, and we can also run it for you as a nominated factory.

What is different about Seamvector?

Every style has one record, every check carries a time, and the buyer sees what we see. Software reads the tech pack and watches the calendar; people decide the factory, the fix and which delay to flag, and a named person answers your email.

Who is Seamvector for?

Emerging and growing brands ordering 100–1,000 pieces per style: brands moving from blanks or print-on-demand to their own cut-and-sew, and brands moving a small program out of China or adding a lower-cost second source alongside Portugal or Turkey.

Where is Seamvector based?

Seamvector is based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with its office in Uttara, Sector 14. We work Sunday to Friday and overlap working hours with London and Central Europe. Buyers can be anywhere in the world.

How new is Seamvector?

Seamvector was founded in 2026, so it is new. The method is the proof: a timestamped record for every style that you can check yourself on your first order.

What do you make?

Three lanes: jersey and fleece basics (heavyweight tees, hoodies, sweatshirts, joggers, polos), flat-knit knitwear (crew sweaters, cardigans, knit polos, vests, beanies), and utility and workwear (chore jackets, overshirts, canvas and twill pants, aprons, chef wear, scrubs). Each has its own page.

What is on request?

Loungewear, denim (from about 300 pcs), kids, performance activewear, outerwear, lingerie, leather goods, gloves and footwear, and woven shirts and trousers. We quote them per style when a brand asks, and say plainly if no capable factory exists.

What is your minimum order quantity?

100 pcs per style is the floor. Starting ranges: jersey and fleece basics 150–300 pcs per colour on custom-dyed fabric, fewer on stock colours; flat-knit knitwear 100–200 pcs per style on stock yarn colours; utility and workwear 150–300 pcs per style on stock canvas and twill. 50 pcs is possible only on stock fabric, at a higher price. The figure is confirmed at costing.

Do you work FOB or CMT?

Both; FOB is the default. On FOB we source fabric and trims and the factory delivers a finished, packed order. CMT, where you supply the fabric and trims, is available for styles where you already hold the material.

How is your fee set, and how is payment made?

A development fee of 100–150 USD per style, credited against our service fee when the style goes to bulk. A service fee of 10–12% of FOB, with a minimum of 350 USD per order, on its own invoice and never folded into the unit price. The factory is the exporter: you pay it a deposit, then the balance before shipment once the final inspection has passed. We do not pre-finance orders or hold your money. Full detail on the fees and minimums page.

Who answers my email?

Saiful. A named person reads and answers every email within one business day; software keeps the record and people make the calls.

Can I nominate my own factory?

Yes. A nominated factory goes through the same checks — audit status, capability for the style, floor load — and you get the same record. If it does not pass, we tell you why and propose alternatives.

Who inspects the goods?

We do, against the approved sample. Inline checks are photographed and timestamped on the floor. Before the final we run an internal pre-final assessment, so that final goods do not get rejected. The final inspection is to AQL 2.5 major / 4.0 minor, critical 0 — General Inspection Level II, normal severity (ISO 2859-1) — or to your protocol, and its report carries photo evidence and the measurement record. A third-party inspector of your choice is welcome on the same record.

Which markets do you source for?

Any market, but requirements differ by destination — labelling, restricted substances, documents. Tell us the market at enquiry and it is built into the tech pack review, not discovered at booking.

What are typical lead times?

Sampling takes two to four weeks per round and bulk production two to three months from the approved pre-production sample, fabric permitting; treat that as a guide. Your dated calendar comes with the costing and replaces it.

How do I start?

Send the tech pack, or a reference garment and target price, through the form below or by email. You get a numbered query list and a feasibility note within one business day; costing follows once the queries are closed.
