FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions — Custom Apparel & Sportswear Manufacturing

ausman has manufactured sportswear, workwear, corporate apparel, and institutional uniforms from Sialkot, Pakistan since 1998. Every answer below is based on how we actually work — not a generic policy document.

Custom & Bulk Orders

Can I order just one custom piece from ausman?

Yes. ausman manufactures from a single custom piece upward. If you have a brief — a product type, a fabric preference, a branding requirement — we will develop it and produce it. The same manufacturing standard applies regardless of quantity.

Can ausman work from an existing sample or reference product?

Yes. If you already have a product you want matched, improved, or used as a reference — bring it to the ausman showroom at 9-A, Bridge Block, Fortress Stadium, Lahore Cantt for an in-person discussion. If visiting is not possible, share the reference details, fabric specifications, and any photos via WhatsApp at +92 300 1066545 or email at contact@ausman.pk and we will work from there.

How do I start a custom or bulk order with ausman?

Contact ausman directly on WhatsApp at +92 300 1066545 or email contact@ausman.pk with your requirement. Share the product type, approximate quantity, any branding needs, and your timeline. We will take it from there.

What information do I need to provide to get a quote?

Share the product type, quantity, size breakdown, preferred fabric or end use, branding requirement, logo file if applicable, delivery location, and timeline. The more specific the brief, the more accurate the quote.

What products can be custom manufactured by ausman?

ausman can custom manufacture t-shirts, polo shirts, tracksuits, compression shirts, hoodies, jackets, vests, trousers, shorts, leggings, sports bras, caps, and workwear uniforms. Availability depends on the brief and order confirmation.

Is there a minimum order quantity for custom orders?

No fixed minimum. ausman handles single custom pieces as well as large institutional and corporate volumes. The brief, timeline, and production requirements are discussed individually for every order.

How long does a custom order take from brief to delivery?

Turnaround time depends on the product type, quantity, branding method, and fabric availability. This is confirmed at the time of order. Contact ausman with your brief and timeline and we will advise accordingly.

Can I approve a sample before bulk production begins?

Yes. Sample approval is a standard part of ausman's custom manufacturing process. This allows you to verify fabric, fit, stitching, logo placement, and color before the full order goes into production.

What size breakdown do I need to provide for a bulk order?

For bulk institutional or corporate orders, provide the size breakdown — how many pieces in each size — along with the full quantity. If sizing requirements are non-standard, that can be discussed as part of the custom brief.

Can ausman accommodate custom sizing for institutional or corporate orders?

Yes. Custom sizing requirements for institutional and corporate clients are discussed as part of the order brief. ausman's manufacturing process is built around client specifications, not fixed templates.

Branding & Customization Methods

What branding methods does ausman offer?

ausman offers embroidery, 3D puff embroidery, screen printing, heat transfer, and sublimation. The right method depends on the product, fabric, design complexity, and intended use. We advise on the most suitable option for your brief.

What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing — and when should I choose each?

Embroidery stitches the design directly into the fabric and is more durable — better suited for workwear, uniforms, and products that undergo repeated washing. Screen printing applies ink to the surface and works well for detailed or multicolor designs on apparel where a flatter finish is preferred.

What is 3D puff embroidery and when is it used?

3D puff embroidery is a raised embroidery technique that gives a logo a bolder, more premium appearance. It is commonly used on caps, jackets, and corporate apparel where the brand wants the logo to stand out with depth and texture rather than lying flat.

What file format is needed for logo submission?

A vector file — AI, EPS, or high-resolution PDF — is preferred for clean reproduction across all branding methods. If you only have a JPEG or PNG, share it and we will advise whether it can be used or needs to be redrawn.

How is logo placement confirmed before bulk production?

Logo placement is reviewed and approved as part of the sample process. You approve the position, size, and branding method on the physical sample before bulk production begins.

Can different branding methods be used on the same order?

Yes. For example, a corporate order may use embroidery on the chest and screen printing on the back. Requirements like this are confirmed during the brief stage.

Can ausman produce promotional apparel with branding for events and campaigns?

Yes. ausman has produced branded promotional apparel for corporate events, product launches, brand activations, and large-scale campaigns. Requirements are handled based on the product type, quantity, branding method, and delivery timeline. Start a custom enquiry here.

Fabric & Quality

What does GSM mean and why does it matter?

GSM stands for grams per square metre. It measures fabric weight and density. A higher GSM means a heavier, more structured fabric. A lower GSM means lighter and more breathable. ausman tests GSM ranges across product categories before finalising any fabric — a compression shirt and a tracksuit jacket require completely different GSM profiles to perform correctly.

How does ausman select fabrics for its products?

Every fabric ausman uses goes through an internal research and development process. GSM weight, stretch type, moisture-wicking performance, stitching compatibility, wash durability, and seasonal suitability are all assessed before a fabric is confirmed for any product. Fabrics that do not meet the standard are not used.

What is moisture-wicking fabric and which ausman products use it?

Moisture-wicking fabric pulls sweat away from the skin and allows it to evaporate quickly, keeping the wearer dry during physical activity. ausman uses moisture-wicking performance fabrics across its gym wear, compression wear, tracksuits, and activewear range.

What makes ausman's stitching different from standard market products?

ausman's stitching standards are set internally and applied consistently across every product. Seam strength, stitch density, and finishing are assessed at production level — not just on samples. This is particularly important for bulk institutional and corporate orders where consistency across hundreds or thousands of pieces is non-negotiable.

How do I choose the right fabric for a specific use case — workwear, sportswear, or uniforms?

The right fabric depends on the end use, the environment the product will be worn in, the season, and the branding requirements. ausman advises on fabric selection as part of the custom order process — this is not left to the client to figure out alone. Share your use case and we will recommend accordingly.

Does ausman use imported fabrics?

Yes. ausman sources and tests both domestic and imported fabrics depending on the product requirement. Fabric selection is driven by performance and quality standards — not by source.

Corporate, Workwear & Institutional Orders

What sectors has ausman supplied apparel and uniforms for?

ausman has manufactured for the sportswear and activewear sector, corporate and promotional apparel, workwear and industrial uniforms, hospitality and service sector uniforms, fitness and sports facility apparel, educational institutions, logistics and courier sector, personal care and wellness sector, government and public sector, defence sector institutions, and international institutional clients.

How does ausman handle a corporate or institutional apparel brief?

The process begins with understanding the requirement — product type, quantity, fabric needs, branding, sizing, and timeline. For larger or more complex briefs, this is discussed directly via WhatsApp or email before a quote is confirmed. Sample approval follows before bulk production.

Can ausman produce workwear that meets specific durability or sector requirements?

Yes. Workwear briefs — whether for industrial environments, service sector staff, or field operations — are handled based on the specific use case. Fabric weight, construction method, and branding are all selected according to what the product will actually be used for.

Can branding — logos, names, designations — be added to workwear and uniforms?

Yes. All branding methods are available for workwear and uniform orders. The method used depends on the fabric type, garment, and branding requirement. This is confirmed during the brief stage.

Can ausman produce a complete institutional apparel set — not just a single product?

Yes. Institutional sets — for example a training program requiring an upper, trouser, t-shirt, shorts, and polo shirt — can be planned and manufactured together. ausman advises on what each item should include based on seasonal requirements, activity level, and program needs.

Is sampling available for corporate and institutional buyers before bulk commitment?

Yes. Corporate and institutional buyers can visit the showroom at Fortress Stadium, Lahore Cantt to evaluate the full product range in person before placing any order. For custom briefs, a physical sample is produced and approved before bulk production begins.

How does ausman handle large-volume orders — 500, 1,000 pieces or more?

Large-volume orders are handled through direct consultation. Timeline, production scheduling, size breakdown, sample approval, and delivery are all confirmed before production begins. Contact ausman on WhatsApp at +92 300 1066545 or email contact@ausman.pk with the volume and requirement to begin the discussion.

The Showroom — Lahore Cantt

Where is the ausman showroom located?

The ausman showroom is at 9-A, Bridge Block, Fortress Stadium, Lahore Cantt, Lahore, Pakistan. It has been operating at this location for eight years.

What can I do at the showroom that I cannot do online?

At the showroom you can see, feel, and evaluate every product in person — fabric weight, stretch, stitching quality, and finishing — before placing any order. For B2B and institutional buyers this eliminates the sample cost entirely. You assess the quality yourself and only then decide whether and what to order.

Do I need an appointment to visit?

No appointment is required. Walk in during business hours and the full product range is available to evaluate.

Can corporate or institutional buyers use the showroom to assess products before a bulk order?

Yes. This is one of the primary purposes of the showroom. Organizations, procurement teams, and institutional buyers can walk in, review the complete range, evaluate fabric and construction quality in person, and make an informed decision before any commitment is made. No upfront sample cost. No guesswork.

Can I place a custom or bulk order directly at the showroom?

Yes. Custom and bulk order discussions can be initiated at the showroom. Bring your brief — product type, quantity, branding requirements, or an existing sample you want matched — and the discussion can begin in person with the full product range in front of you.
