  • Healthcare systems and uniform buyers. who want a uniform staff cannot buy elsewhere.

White label scrubs vs private label scrubs

White label scrubs are existing base styles rebranded with your label, tags and packaging, which is fast and low risk. Private label scrubs are developed or modified to your specification (fabric, fit, pockets, trims, colors) so the product itself is distinctive. Both run on the same minimum of about 50 pieces per style.

Tip: Many brands launch white label to test colors and price points, then invest in a private label “hero” style once they know what customers reorder.

What can you produce under your own label?

Scrub tops, scrub pants, lab coats, scrub jackets and hoodies, underscrubs and workwear can all be produced under your own label. Each product has its own levers for differentiation, from pocket layout and stretch on scrubs to hardware and durable trims on workwear.

How does the private label process work?

The private label process runs in six steps once you share a brief: a tech pack, a reference garment with a list of changes, or one of our base styles. New designs are sampled and revised before production, and the approved sample becomes the standard every production piece is checked against.

  1. 01

    Sampling

    A sample is cut and sewn in your chosen fabric. Check fit on real people, test pockets and stretch, and wash it. Expect at least one revision round on a new design; fixing fit now is cheaper than after a full run.

  2. 02

    Size grading

    The approved base size is graded across your size range, XXS to 5XL for scrubs, so every size keeps the same proportions. Share any size chart you already use.

  3. 03

    Labels and packaging

    Main labels, care and content labels, hang tags and packaging are approved during sampling, not after.

  4. 04

    Bulk production

    Your order is cut, sewn, branded and finished in the Los Angeles factory. Ask us for current lead times; they depend on fabric availability, order size and style complexity.

  5. 05

    Quality checks

    Garments are checked against the approved sample for measurements, stitching, color, labels and finishing before packing.

  6. 06

    Delivery

    Finished goods are folded, bagged and packed by style and size, then shipped to your warehouse or fulfillment center, with no ocean freight or customs clearance on the finished garments.

Fabrics for a private label scrub line

The fabric chosen for a private label scrub line sets how it feels, performs and is priced. Poly-cotton blends suit practical, durable lines; polyester-rayon-spandex suits soft, comfort-focused brands; polyester-spandex suits premium, athletic lines; and twill, canvas and denim suit workwear brands.

Fabric familyFeelStrengthsTypical brand position
Poly-cotton blendCrisp, classicDurable, easy care, good valuePractical, budget-conscious lines
Polyester-rayon-spandexSoft, drapey, stretchyComfort and movementMid-market comfort brands
Polyester-spandex performanceSmooth, athleticStretch, quick drying, color holdingPremium and fashion-forward lines
Cotton twill, canvas, denimSturdyAbrasion resistanceWorkwear and heritage brands

Fabric is imported and confirmed with swatches at quote stage. Our scrub fabric guide explains weaves, stretch and weight in more depth.

Which labels does private label clothing need?

Private label clothing sold in the US needs a label showing fiber content, country of origin and the manufacturer or brand identity (a company name or RN number), plus permanent care instructions. Brand labels, hang tags and logo decoration sit on top of those legal minimums.

The FTC sets the content and origin rules in the Textile Fiber Products Identification Act rules (16 CFR Part 303) and care rules in the Care Labeling Rule (16 CFR Part 423). Its plain-language guide, Threading Your Way Through the Labeling Requirements, explains both, and brands can look up or register an RN in the FTC RN database.

What determines the cost of private label clothing?

The cost of private label clothing depends on fabric, quantity per style, style complexity, development and sampling, decoration, and labels and packaging. Prices are not published here, because each line is quoted on its actual specs, trims and quantities.

Cost driverHow it moves the unit priceHow to keep it in check
FabricPremium stretch and performance blends usually cost more than poly-cottonMatch fabric to your price point and customer

DevelopmentNew patterns and extra sample rounds add workStart from a base style for your first launch
DecorationStitch count, colors and placements add time per pieceOne clear logo placement
Labels and packagingCustom labels, hang tags and individual bagging add componentsStandardize packaging across styles

How do you plan a first collection with a 50-piece minimum?

Plan a first collection around how many styles you can sell through, because the minimum of about 50 pieces is counted per style. A focused launch of one or two hero styles, deep in your core sizes, usually sells through faster than a wide range spread thin.

  • Start narrow

    One top and one pant prove fit and fabric before you add more.

  • Weight the size split

    toward the middle of your range, where most sales usually fall.

  • Add colors on reorder

    Running out of medium in your best color hurts more than not offering a fifth color.

  • Ask how colors count

    How colors and sizes split within a style is confirmed at quote stage.

Private label workwear

Private label workwear follows the same process as scrubs, used by workwear brands, trade retailers and distributors for work pants, coveralls, chef coats, aprons and denim. Durability, hardware and pocket layout matter more than drape, and branding often moves outside the garment, such as a woven patch on a back pocket.

Private label scrubs for healthcare employers

Private label scrubs give hospitals, clinic groups and dental or veterinary chains a uniform unique to their organization, consistent across locations and easy to reorder for new hires. The label carries the employer’s name, colors can follow role coding, and embroidery adds names and departments, from the same 50-piece-per-style minimum.

Reorders and growing your line

Reorders work best when they follow sell-through rather than repeating the first split. Track sales by style, color and size, reorder what sells, and keep the approved sample and spec sheet on file so every run matches the first. Tell us early when a style sells quickly, so fabric can be confirmed before your best sizes run out.

Tip: Review your size curve after the first sell-through. Real demand usually differs from the launch guess, and correcting it on the reorder frees cash that would sit in slow sizes.

How do you choose private label clothing suppliers?

Choose private label clothing suppliers by where the garments are actually sewn, the real minimum per style, whether you can wear-test samples before production, who owns the patterns and how quality is checked. Those answers separate a private label scrubs manufacturer from a reseller relabeling someone else’s stock.

  • Packaging requirements. , such as polybag style, barcodes or fulfillment-center rules
  • Your RN number or the business name for care labels
  • Your target retail price, so fabrics and trims fit your margin

What mistakes do new brands make?

New scrub and workwear brands most often skip washing the sample, launch too many styles, leave labels until last, make unqualified origin claims and start without a written pattern agreement. Each costs far more after production than before it.

  1. Approving a sample without washing it

    Shrinkage and color loss only show up after laundering.

  2. Too many styles in the first run

    Each needs about 50 pieces; spread thin, you sell out of nothing and get stuck with everything.

  3. Leaving labels until last

    Care labels, RN numbers and hang tags need artwork and approval; start them during sampling.

  4. Unqualified origin claims

    Garments sewn in the US from imported fabric need a qualified label such as “Made in USA of imported fabric”.

  5. No written agreement on patterns

    Settle ownership before development begins.

Questions about private label

Need something not covered here? Ask our Los Angeles team and we’ll answer with options for your order.

Ask our Los Angeles team

Do I need a tech pack to start?

No. A tech pack speeds things up, but you can also send a reference garment you like and describe the changes, or start from one of our base styles. The specifications are documented during sampling so production matches what you approved.

What is the minimum order for private label scrubs?

About 50 pieces per style. A style is one design in one fabric, spread across your size run from XXS to 5XL. That lets a new brand launch a focused range without tying up cash in thousands of units, then reorder the styles that sell. How colors and sizes split within a style is confirmed at quote.

Can you make my private label scrubs in the USA?

Every garment is cut and sewn in our Los Angeles factory from imported fabric. FTC textile rules therefore call for a qualified label such as 'Made in USA of imported fabric' rather than a plain 'Made in USA'. We confirm the fabric and label wording with you so your labels are accurate.

Who owns the designs and patterns?

You own your brand, logos and the designs you bring to us. Agree on pattern and design ownership in writing before development starts, especially for styles developed together. Ask us for our standard terms when you request a quote.

Can I sell private label scrubs on marketplaces?

Yes. Many brands sell on their own website and on marketplaces. Plan packaging, barcodes and folding to the marketplace or fulfillment center's rules before production, and keep fiber content and care information for each style ready, because listings usually ask for it.
