PajamaWorks makes custom robes with an MOQ of 100 pcs per style, per colour, samples in 7–10 days and bulk production 25–30 days after sample approval, in satin, cotton, flannel, modal or custom fabric, at its own factory in Humen, Dongguan, established 2006. Pricing is quoted per project.

MOQ applies per style and per colour, so one style in three colours is 300 pcs. Custom-dyed, printed or woven fabrics are confirmed per quotation. Planning a smaller first run? Tell us your quantity and we'll confirm what's possible.

Robes sell for different reasons than pajamas

A pajama set is bought for the buyer’s own comfort. A robe is very often bought as a gift, as bridal-party wear, or for a hotel or spa. That changes what the product has to do: it has to look good in packaging, it has to accommodate personalisation, and it frequently ships in multi-unit sets rather than as single retail units.

If your robe programme is gift-led, packaging and embroidery are not afterthoughts — they are half the product.

Personalisation is an operations question

Monogrammed robes are commercially attractive and operationally different from a standard order. Each unit carries unique artwork, which means:

Names must arrive in a clean, verified list — misspellings are unrecoverable once stitched
Embroidery placement is fixed and approved before any units are stitched
Units cannot be substituted between orders, so the QC failure cost per unit is higher
Packing has to keep each unit matched to its name

We will ask for a signed-off name list and an approved stitch-out before starting. That is not bureaucracy; it is the only way personalisation does not turn into rework.

Fabric changes the entire product

Satin — the gifting default. Photographs beautifully, drapes, and demands careful seam work because pucker shows on every long straight edge.
Waffle — light, textured, quick-drying, and the expected fabric for spa and hospitality use.
Flannel and heavy cotton — the warm lounging robe. Substantial hem weight, and the most forgiving to construct.
Modal terry and jersey — soft and heavy, good for a premium lounge robe, needs a well-controlled hem to avoid rippling.

What to settle before sampling

Length, measured from the high point of the shoulder — “midi” means different things to different brands
One-size or graded, and if graded, what changes across sizes
Belt attachment: loops, in-seam, or free
Whether the robe is sold standalone, matched to a set, or as a boxed gift

Long robes and kaftan cuts

Full-length and open-front robes sit close to the kaftan: wide cut, long hem, often in satin or viscose. If your market wants a kaftan or jalabiya rather than a belted robe, see jalabiya and kaftans. Boxed robes and monogrammed gift sets for Ramadan and Eid are covered under Ramadan and Eid sets.

Robes are often sold with pajama sets and nightwear. See how we work as a pajama manufacturer in China.

Construction

Details worth specifying

Confirm these on the sample. Each one changes how the finished garment reads.

Collar type — shawl, kimono band or notch — which drives most of the cost difference
Belt width, length and whether belt loops are included
Pocket construction: patch, welt or in-seam

Cuff finish, particularly on wide kimono sleeves
Hem weight and finish, which determines how the robe hangs

FAQ

Robes — common questions

What is your pajama MOQ?

MOQ starts from 100 pcs per style, per colour in stock fabrics (cotton, modal, satin, jersey, flannel, viscose), so one style in three colours is 300 pcs. Custom-dyed, custom-printed or custom-woven fabrics raise the minimum because the mill minimum applies; we confirm the exact figure for your style in the quotation.

How much does a pajama sample cost?

Sample cost depends on the style, fabric and customization (printing, embroidery, special trims). We confirm the exact sample fee per project before sampling starts — share your design through the quote form for a precise figure.

Is the sample fee refundable?

Yes, when your bulk order reaches 200 pcs per style, per colour. We confirm the sample fee for your style before sampling starts.

How long does sampling take?

A first sample usually takes about 7–10 days once the design is confirmed. Complex styles, sourced fabrics and extra revision rounds add time; we confirm the sampling timeline with each sample order and keep you updated through development.

Can I use my own pajama design?

Yes. Send a tech pack, reference sample or reference photos and we handle pattern development, grading and sampling to your design. Your designs stay confidential to your project.

Will my fit sample be washed before I approve it?

Yes — we launder fit samples before sending them. Cotton shrinks, knits relax and viscose can distort, so a sample approved unwashed is not the garment your customer receives. Approving fit on a washed sample removes the most common cause of bulk fit complaints.

Can you source custom fabrics?

Yes. Beyond stock cotton, modal, satin, jersey, flannel and viscose options, we source custom blends, custom-dyed colors and custom prints. Custom-developed fabrics carry higher minimums, which we confirm during quoting.

Can you match Pantone colors?

Yes. For custom-dyed fabrics we produce lab dips against your Pantone reference for approval before bulk dyeing, so the production color matches the approved standard.

Can you make custom labels and packaging?

Yes — woven or printed main labels, size and care labels, hang tags, polybags and custom boxes, produced to your artwork and confirmed together with your pajama sample.

What is the minimum for custom labels, hang tags and packaging?

Custom main labels and hang tags start from 500 pcs, and custom packaging such as printed polybags and boxes from 1,000 pcs. Garments still start from 100 pcs per style, per colour — if your order is smaller than the label minimum, the labels are made at 500 and we keep the surplus for your repeat order.

Who owns the pattern developed for my product?

Ask us and we will put it in writing before development starts. Pattern ownership is a commercial term rather than a fixed rule, and it is better agreed at the outset than assumed. Your designs, tech packs and reference materials stay confidential to your project either way.
