Independent labels
A 50-piece standard MOQ supports capsule drops, market tests and premium construction without forcing excess inventory.
Private label for Irish brands
Private Label Clothing Manufacturing for Irish Brands
Fenalt bridges design teams in Dublin, Cork and Galway with vetted international production facilities and one accountable technical workflow.
Tech pack translation, fabric sourcing, multi-stage quality control and cross-border freight are coordinated so Irish brands can scale retail-ready garments without unmanaged offshore friction.
Direct answer
A managed private-label route into Ireland
Fenalt is neither a domestic Irish factory nor an unmanaged broker directory. We translate the brand’s technical package, allocate production to the right partner facility, inspect the work and coordinate delivery to the Irish distribution point.
DTC and streetwear brands
Weight selection, stenter framing, mechanical compacting and wash control protect fit consistency across digital launch cycles and re-orders.
Retail and corporate buyers
Scalable cut-and-sew capacity, European compliance documentation and structured inspection support seasonal and workwear calendars.

Order planning
Six gates from design file to export
The sequence keeps cash flow, sampling decisions and the Irish delivery window visible before production capacity is committed.
01
Tech pack review
Within 24–48 hours, Fenalt audits specifications, the BOM, grading and artwork.
02
Sampling
Pattern cutting, sample assembly and trims take 10–15 days, followed by 3–5 days courier transit to Ireland.
03
Fit approval
The physical PPS is checked for hand-feel, lab dips, seam strength, trim placement and POM fit before bulk authorization.
04
Bulk production
Knitting or weaving, cutting and sewing run for 15–20 days after written PPS sign-off.
05
Quality control
In-line and final inspections follow ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 Level II with an AQL 2.5 acceptance threshold.
06
Export dispatch
Small batches use DAP courier; bulk sea freight uses FOB at origin with the buyer’s forwarder handling destination entry.
Ireland compliance
Labels, chemicals and seasonal timing
EU textile labeling
Fiber composition, care symbols and origin documentation are prepared for Irish retail under EU Regulation No 1007/2011 and the GINETEX care-symbol system.
REACH and material safety
Dyes, print pastes and metal trims are reviewed for restricted aromatic amines, lead, nickel, phthalates and other substances, with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 mills prioritized where suitable.
Irish retail calendar
SS development typically begins in October or November for February/March delivery; AW fleece and outerwear move through development from April or May for August/September arrival.
Commercial logistics
DAP for smaller runs, FOB for bulk
DAP courier: DHL, FedEx or UPS can deliver small and medium consignments to an Irish studio, 3PL or warehouse. The recipient or broker clears customs and pays applicable import VAT and duties.
FOB Chattogram: Fenalt manages origin haulage, export clearance and vessel loading. The buyer’s forwarder manages ocean freight, insurance, Dublin Port or Port of Cork entry and destination clearance.
Transit planning: Express air delivery is typically 3–5 business days after dispatch; ocean timing is confirmed with the selected route and port schedule.
Quality control
Inspection protects the Irish retail promise
Raw materials
Shade lots, GSM, skewness, stretch, shrinkage and yarn consistency are checked before cutting.
In-line assembly
SPI, seam allowance, thread tension, alignment, print placement and trim attachment are reviewed during production.
Final AQL 2.5
Finished garments are measured against the approved POM chart and inspected under ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 Level II before export.
Irish buyer questions
What to settle before production
Does Fenalt manufacture clothing inside Ireland?
No. Fenalt manages production for Irish brands through audited international partner facilities, coordinating technical development, inspection and import delivery without claiming domestic factory ownership.
What is the standard MOQ for Irish brands?
The standard MOQ is 50 pieces per style, allowing limited capsules and measured re-orders while keeping the approved construction and fabric specification consistent.
How are Irish textile labels handled?
Labels are prepared with accurate fiber composition, care symbols and origin information under the applicable EU textile-labeling framework, with wording reviewed before bulk printing.
How do DAP and FOB differ for Ireland?
DAP courier shipments deliver to the nominated Irish premises while the importer or broker pays local duties and VAT. FOB Chattogram places ocean freight, insurance and destination clearance with the buyer’s logistics partner.
What happens if a sample needs revisions?
The physical sample is reviewed against the POM chart, fabric hand-feel, lab dips, seams and trims. Fenalt updates the technical package and repeats the approval gate before bulk cutting.
