Minku Apparel is a custom t-shirt manufacturer for Munich brands, producing premium heavyweight tees from 50 pieces per design with full private-label finishing. We run 180 to 240 GSM combed cotton, decorate in-house with screen print, DTG, and embroidery, sample before bulk, and ship DDP to your Munich address in roughly 6 to 9 days by air. For a label selling into one of Germany’s most quality-conscious markets, this is the factory that delivers a tee built to justify its price.
Here is what this page covers: the cotton weights and cuts that meet Bavarian quality expectations, in-house decoration and private labelling, MOQ and pricing in euros, sampling, and DDP shipping with EU import VAT already handled.
Why premium tees win in Munich
Munich is an affluent, detail-oriented market where the customer inspects the seam before the sticker price. Bavaria’s premium retail culture and its long, alpine-cold winters shape a very particular tee brief: the shirt is often a base layer under a heavier piece for much of the year, so it has to feel substantial and wear cleanly, but it also has to look right when it is the only layer through the short warm season. A Munich label competing against established German quality brands cannot cut corners on the blank – the heavyweight combed-cotton tee is exactly the piece that reassures a discerning local buyer.
Cotton weight, fit, and construction for Munich
We build the tee to spec. Combed cotton runs from a 180 GSM mid-weight to a dense 240 GSM heavyweight, in a boxy structured drop, a fitted classic, an oversized block, or a cropped cut. Double-needle stitching, side seams, and a ribbed set-in collar that resists stretching are all part of the build, and ring-spun yarns give a smooth, durable face. For Munich’s climate, a 220 to 240 GSM combed cotton hits the mark – heavy enough to layer through winter, clean enough to wear alone in summer. Every measurement goes on your tech pack so reorders match precisely.
Decoration and full private label
Decoration is in-house, so quality stays controlled. Screen print delivers bold, opaque graphics with durable plastisol or soft water-based inks, DTG handles photographic and multi-colour art with no minimum penalty, and puff or flat embroidery adds a premium chest or sleeve mark – the understated, tonal branding a Munich market often prefers. All-over print, garment dye, and acid wash are available for texture-led drops. Every tee carries your woven inside label, neck tape, and hem tag, so a German buyer sees your brand, not a rebranded blank. That ownership is what separates a real label from a heat-pressed side project.
MOQ and pricing in euros
Minimum is 50 pieces per tee design, so a Munich founder can test the market before scaling. Pricing is quoted in euros and tracks cotton weight, fit, and decoration, dropping as volume grows into reorders. We keep cost drivers transparent rather than hiding them in a flat figure, which helps when you are setting a retail price that has to hold up against Germany’s quality-focused competition.

Sampling and quality guarantee
We sample before bulk, every time. After specs are locked we produce a pre-production tee so you can check the cotton weight, the fit, the collar, and the print registration before the run. Send your artwork, a reference tee, or a tech pack – we help build one if you do not have it. Bulk then moves on a predictable schedule under QC and our written quality guarantee, the kind of assurance a Munich retailer expects to see behind a product. Send your artwork, a reference tee to match, or a full tech pack, and every spec you approve is logged so each reorder returns the same garment – the consistency a quality-conscious Bavarian buyer notices and rewards with repeat business.
DDP shipping and VAT to Munich
Tees are light, so air freight is efficient and we ship Delivered Duty Paid. DDP means EU import VAT and customs clearance are already inside your landed price – no broker bill after your Munich delivery, no border surprise. Air freight lands your order at a Munich address in about 6 to 9 days once QC clears. Because tees pack flat and light, replenishing a strong seller between seasons is fast, so your best pieces stay in stock through Munich’s peak retail periods.
