Why Canada brands manufacture with Eco Vira
Eco Vira runs pattern making, fabric sourcing, cutting, printing, embroidery, sewing, inspection and packing under one roof in Lahore. One supplier stays accountable for the whole chain, so the garment that ships is the garment that was approved.
- Cost savings compared to domestic Canadian manufacturing.
- English as the primary business language.
- Vertically integrated production simplifies logistics.
- Growing compliance with North American standards.
- Bilingual (English/French) care labels and documentation for Canadian market compliance.
MOQ
Minimum order quantity
30 pieces per style per colour. Canadian brands often run a single national SKU set, and this minimum supports a first run without a full-season commitment. Payment is a deposit against the bulk run, balance against shipping documents.
Payment
How payment works
Orders run on a deposit against the bulk run, with the balance settled against original shipping documents. We will not change bank details by email alone — any change is confirmed by phone before you act on it, because that is the standard invoice-fraud pattern and a two-minute check prevents it.
Sampling
How sampling runs before you commit
- 01Tech pack or reference garment to begin.
- 02Pre-production sample made in your fabric.
- 03Fit and bilingual labelling approved before cutting.
- 04Sample retained as your reference for repeat runs.
Quality control
How quality is checked
- In-line inspection at cutting, sewing and finishing.
- An AQL sampling check before packing.
- Measurement check against the approved sample and size set.
- Final inspection on packed units with photo record.
- Fabric testing where your specification requires it.
Inspection points, AQL levels and what we document are agreed in your order rather than assumed. See our quality process.

Before you order
Questions Canada buyers ask us most
Answered directly. Where the answer is that something sits with you rather than with us, we say so.
Does labelling need to be bilingual?
Canadian textile labelling requirements include both English and French, and enforcement in Quebec is strict. We apply your supplied EN and FR wording to the label or hang tag exactly as given, and confirm placement at sample stage so nothing is missed at production.
What is the tariff situation for Pakistani textiles into Canada?
Canada applies tariffs by HS classification, and eligible goods may qualify for preferential treatment under arrangements such as the CPTPP depending on origin criteria. We supply the origin documentation your broker needs and make no eligibility claim we cannot support.
Who is responsible for consumer product safety in Canada?
The importer, or the party first selling the product in Canada, carries the obligation under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act. We produce to your specification and supply the safety and test documentation your file requires.
Are the shipping options straightforward to Canada?
Sea freight to Vancouver or Montreal is the economic route for volume; air freight and courier suit replenishment and small runs. We supply the commercial invoice, packing list and transport documents your forwarder needs for entry.
