WHAT WE BUILD

Custom thongs we build

From seamless basics to custom boxer-style thongs, our factory network in China manufactures every silhouette your private label or white label line needs.

data

High waisted

A higher-rise front and back panel that sits above the hips for extra coverage and a smooth finish under clothing.

data

Scoop neck

Features a deep scoop-cut front or back opening that creates a minimal, skin-baring silhouette.

data

Seamless

Body-mapped tubular knit construction that eliminates side seams for an invisible look under any outfit.

data

Ribbed

Textured rib-knit fabric adds subtle stretch and visual interest to an everyday custom thong.

data

Boxer

A hybrid style combining the low-profile back of a thong with a wider, boxer-inspired waistband and leg opening.

data

Your spec

Bring your own pattern or tech pack and we build to it.

From cotton thongs to your most elaborate vision

A plain Cotton thong is straightforward manufacturing - clean seams, standard elastic, finished in volume without complexity. A fully developed custom thong built with Sublimation across every panel, edge to edge in permanent dye, is the kind of construction our production team handles daily. The elaborate end is the norm for most brands we work with, not the exception.
