Zip-Up Hoodie Manufacturer

We begin with your brief, defining the product, target markets and budget, then choose the right zip-up body, hood and pocket block. Next we confirm fleece, ribs, zippers and hardware, and agree on print, embroidery and label positions. Fit samples are made to review measurements and comfort before we lock fabrics, colours, graphics and grading in a preproduction sample. Bulk production then covers cutting, sewing, decoration and inline inspection, followed by final packing, carton marking and shipment according to your timeline. Our sampling is typically organised in a 7–10 day window once details are ready. 

Pricing for zip-up hoodies is driven by fleece weight and composition, zipper quality, print or embellishment coverage, paneling complexity, chosen trims and packaging. Minimum order quantities usually start from 100 pieces per colour and style, with a full size run included in that total. That MOQ level helps absorb pattern development, sampling and private-label setup costs. Unit pricing typically improves at higher volumes as cutting, fabric, trim and decoration efficiencies are unlocked. 

Zip-up hoodie fits must work both open and closed, over tees and under outerwear, so we run several blocks. These include regular, relaxed, oversized and cropped fits in unisex and gender-specific versions. Our grading is built around Western size expectations across US, UK, European, Canadian and Australian markets. Standard runs go from XS–3XL, with youth or extended sizes available when your program needs them. 

Zip-up hoodies work well for both subtle branding and full front-and-back graphic stories. We offer screen print, water-based and plastisol inks, puff and high-density prints, embroidery, chenille patches, applique, 3D rubber badges and woven labels, all tested on zipped garments. Private label setups cover neck, size and care labels plus hangtags, barcoded polybags and printed cartons. Compared with many streetwear hoodie manufacturers, we focus on repeatable branding “recipes” so your graphics and labels stay consistent across seasons. 

Zip-up hoodies allow more functional detailing than basic pullovers. We plan seams for comfort and stability around the zipper, using raglan or set-in sleeves, side panels and chin guards where needed. Options include contrast panels, colour blocking, media pockets and zip-through hoods, plus thumb-hole cuffs for a sportier feel. As an oversized hoodie manufacturer, we also control proportions so bigger silhouettes still zip and hang correctly in bulk. 

Zip-up hoodies need to balance warmth with easy layering, so we suggest different fleece weights by season. For spring and indoor-focused programs, 280–320gsm loopback gives good structure without being too hot. For colder markets, 340–400gsm brushed fleece delivers a denser, warmer handfeel that still layers under jackets. We also consider shrinkage, bulk and drape after washing so the zips keep running smoothly and the hoodie keeps its intended silhouette. 

For zip-up hoodies we typically work with cotton-rich fleece, French terry and loopback constructions, choosing brushed or unbrushed backs depending on warmth and handfeel targets. Zippers, pullers, drawcords, aglets, rib knits, eyelets and pocket bags are specified together so weight, drape and price sit in the correct range for your brand. Optional metal trims can be added where you want a more elevated, streetwear-focused look. 

Vanrd builds a range of zip-up silhouettes, including clean full-zip hoodies, heavyweight half-zip styles and relaxed quarter-zip hoodies. These blocks cover lifestyle ranges, streetwear capsules, uniform programs and creator merch in one line. We keep base patterns stable, then adjust colours, graphics and small details by season so fit stays consistent for your customers.
