New York, USA, 2026-02-16 — /EPR Network/ — Cambodia has become a prominent apparel manufacturing hub in Southeast Asia, known for competitive costs, skilled labor, and growing ethical compliance standards. Its export-oriented garment industry makes it an attractive option for fashion brands looking for cost-effective, reliable, and ethical production.

By partnering with Fashion Sourcing, brands can navigate Cambodia’s manufacturing ecosystem efficiently while ensuring quality, compliance, and profitability.

Why Manufacture Clothing in Cambodia?

Cambodia offers several strategic advantages for fashion brands:

Cost-Effective Production: Lower labor and production costs compared to many neighboring countries
Skilled Workforce: Experienced in knitwear, woven garments, and high-volume production
Export-Oriented Factories: Most factories are set up to meet international retail standards
Ethical Manufacturing: Increasing number of factories follow BSCI, WRAP, and other compliance standards
Scalability: Capable of small-batch runs and large-scale orders
Strategic Location: Access to ports and logistics for global shipping

Cambodia is ideal for brands that want cost efficiency without sacrificing quality or compliance.

Step 1: Define Product and Profit Goals

Fashion Sourcing helps brands clarify:

Target retail price and gross margin
Estimated landed cost (production + freight + duties)
Product category, complexity, and order size

This ensures that sourcing decisions support both profitability and business strategy.

Step 2: Product Development & Tech Packs

Successful manufacturing starts with precise technical documentation. Fashion Sourcing assists with:

Developing or reviewing tech packs
Sourcing fabrics, trims, and accessories
Sample creation and fit adjustments
Cost optimization during the development stage

Clear tech packs prevent errors and miscommunication during production.

Step 3: Factory Selection in Cambodia

Selecting the right factory is critical. Fashion Sourcing:

Matches factories to your product type and production volume
Verifies ethical and compliance certifications (BSCI, WRAP, SEDEX)
Evaluates production capacity and lead times
Negotiates competitive pricing and minimum order quantities (MOQs)

This ensures reliable, high-quality, and ethical manufacturing partners.

Step 4: Sampling & Pre-Production

The sampling process ensures your designs translate accurately into final products:

Prototype sample
Fit and fabric adjustments
Pre-production sample approval
Final cost confirmation

Fashion Sourcing manages communication and technical revisions to reduce errors before bulk production.

Step 5: Bulk Production Management

After samples are approved:

Production schedules are confirmed
Raw materials are sourced and delivered to the factory
In-line quality control is implemented
Regular updates are provided to the brand

Structured management ensures consistent quality and timely delivery.

Step 6: Quality Control & Compliance

Fashion Sourcing ensures ethical and high-quality production through:

In-line inspections during production
Final random inspections before shipment
Verification of labor, safety, and environmental compliance
Packaging and labeling checks

This minimizes defects, returns, and reputational risks.

Step 7: Logistics & Delivery

Fashion Sourcing manages shipping from Cambodia to global markets:

Freight options (sea or air)
Export documentation and customs clearance
Timely delivery to warehouses or retail locations

This ensures a seamless, cost-efficient process from factory to market.
