Six sewing lines run in parallel. line 1 and 2 on humanitarian canvas (UNHCR FRT, ICRC, IFRC), line 3 on heavy military canvas (510 GSM olive), lines 4 and 5 on commercial canvas (safari, Kuwaiti delux, garden party), line 6 floating on tarpaulin and bathroom-tent SKUs. Total cutting-floor area 3,500 m². Daily output 400–600 tents in standard SKU mix; monthly peak production logged at roughly 12,000 small tents and 2,500 large frame tents during the Türkiye 2023 surge.

Four batch-trace stations log per-roll fabric COA, sewing-line ID, inspector signature, and packout timestamp. ISO 9001 certification is in process via a partner-manufacturer authorization route. the fastest path that doesn't slow current production. The factory has been audited by ICRC, UNHCR and at least one INGO procurement team over the past decade; references available on request once a supplier-qualification packet is opened.

Wholesale tiers

MOQ + pricing band

Tier-based wholesale pricing. We don't post a per-tent number because cotton canvas input cost shifts month to month and any number that's stale lies more than it helps. Send SKU + dimension + quantity and we'll come back with a quote locked for 30 days from issue.

Order tier Pricing band
50 units (in-stock SKU)Wholesale entry
200 units (custom spec)Tier A
500–999 unitsTier B (-8 to -12%)
1,000+ (exclusive territory)Tier C · quote-in

Cotton-canvas and PVC feedstock costs move with input markets. We don't publish absolute prices because a 30-day-old number lies more than it informs. Request a quote and we'll lock for 30 days from issue.

Can you ship from Karachi to a port without a Pakistani direct line?
Yes. feeder service from Karachi Port connects to Jebel Ali, Salalah, Singapore, Colombo, and Mombasa. From there onward connecting service into anywhere on the global container network.
Do you supply Pakistan military or domestic NDMA procurement?
Yes. The Pakistan Army, NDMA, Sindh PDMA and other domestic agencies are repeat buyers. Domestic procurement is on PKR pricing and 30-day terms for confirmed agency orders.

How does shipping from Karachi compare to a Chinese factory?
Five days closer to MENA. A week closer to East Africa. Roughly equivalent to South Asia. Plus a different language, payment infrastructure, and time zone. Karachi mornings overlap with European working hours, which matters for emergency procurement on a 24-hour clock.
