Brand-launch FAQs.
How much does it cost to start a clothing brand in the UK?+
Realistically you can launch a small streetwear brand on a £500–£1,500 budget by starting with a 10–25 piece capsule (Spark package). A serious launch with branded packaging, samples, and 50+ units lives in the £2k–£5k range. Anything beyond that is volume territory — happy to break it down for your specific brief.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?+
Our Spark package starts at 10 pieces per design, which is one of the lowest MOQs in UK clothing manufacturing. For private-label DTF runs, you can scale up infinitely from there with tiered pricing.
What print method do you use?+
We exclusively use DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing on every garment. DTF gives photo-grade colour reproduction, stretches with the fabric, has no minimum order quantity, and lasts longer than traditional transfers. For hard goods (mugs, water bottles, keyrings, phone cases) we use precision laser engraving for a permanent finish.
Why DTF only?+
DTF (Direct-to-Film) gives photo-grade colour on dark fabrics, no minimum order, stretches with the garment, and lasts 50+ washes. That's why it's our exclusive print method for everything wearable.
What is private-label clothing?+
Private-label here means you bring the artwork, we DTF-print your designs onto blank garments and ship them in your branded mailers. To keep production fast and our pricing tight, we don't currently offer custom woven neck labels or hang-tags — every other element (front/back/sleeve prints, hard-good engraving, packaging) is fully yours.
Can you put my logo on a mug or water bottle?+
Yes — hard goods like ceramic mugs, stainless water bottles, acrylic keyrings and phone cases are precision laser-engraved. Engraving is permanent — won't fade, peel, or wash off. Available on every package.
One click. Live in seconds.
Everything in your tier — dashboard, hosted storefront (optional), print pipeline, commission ledger, sales on motowear.co.uk — provisions itself the moment you launch. No email, no waiting on us.
