RICE LABS / Custom apparel production

Custom apparel production, built around the finished result.

From approved artwork and garment selection through production, finishing, packaging and nationwide delivery, RICE LABS coordinates serious apparel projects with quality, consistency and one accountable production workflow.

Projects typically start at $2,500.

01 / Quality

Built to represent the brand.

Garment choice, decoration, placement, labels and finishing all show up in the finished product. The production plan is built around how the product needs to look, feel and arrive.

Bagged finished garments arranged for packing.

02 / Scale / reliability

Coordinated for meaningful volume.

Hundreds or thousands of pieces create more than a print-count problem. Consistency, packing, schedule and delivery have to stay coordinated across the run.

03 / Accountability

One production workflow.

Approved requirements move through production, finishing, packaging and delivery through one coordinated RICE LABS production relationship.

01 / Finished product

Your design is only as good as the production.

The idea can be strong and the artwork can be right. If the garment, print, placement, labels or finishing miss, the finished product still misses. RICE LABS builds the production plan around how the product needs to look, feel and arrive.

They won't blame the printer. They'll blame your brand.

02 / Scale + reliability

250, 500, or 5,000 pieces produced and delivered.

Meaningful volume creates more than a production-count problem. Garments, colorways, decoration, consistency, finishing, packing, deadlines and delivery all have to stay coordinated. Every project is reviewed around the actual scope before production is confirmed.
