Clothing Manufacturer for Maltese Brands

• A low first order. Our minimum is typically 50 pieces per item, which suits a small home market and a first test run. Read what MOQ means.
• Duty-free routes. Garments from our partner factories in the UK, the US and Pakistan can come into Malta at 0% if they meet the rules of origin.
• Room to grow. Repeat orders can reach around 50,000 pieces in a single shipment, from the same approved sample.
• A predictable timeline. Samples take 2–3 weeks, and bulk orders usually arrive 3–4 weeks from the order date, shipping included.

We make t-shirts, swimwear, shorts, hoodies and sportswear for Maltese labels.

Malta applies the EU's common customs tariff, so clothing from outside the EU normally pays 12%. Where the garment is made decides whether a 0% rate applies.

Malta's standard VAT rate is 18%. On goods from outside the EU, import VAT is charged at customs clearance. Under the EU's VAT rules, it is worked out on the customs value plus the duty and the transport and other costs to the first place of destination in Malta. Businesses that charge VAT on their sales can normally recover it; if yours cannot, add it to your landed cost.

Under Malta's packaging waste regulations, a business established in Malta that places packaged goods from outside Malta, whether from another EU country or further afield, on the Maltese market counts as a producer. Producers must:

• Register with the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) in the calendar year they first place packaging on the market. Online registration costs €10.
• Renew the registration every year by 31 March, and show the registration number on their invoices and fiscal receipts.
• Join a packaging waste recovery organisation authorised by ERA for all the packaging they place on the market. Running your own system is only allowed for transport packaging and refillable gas cylinders.

EU rules require the fibre content label to be in the official language or languages of the country where the clothing is sold, unless that country provides otherwise. Malta's official languages are Maltese and English. Check with the Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority whether an English-only label meets the requirement for your product before you print. Fibre names follow the EU list, so cotton, elastane and polyester keep their English names.
