Short answer: wholesale BJJ gis are gis bought in bulk at factory or distributor prices, either as blank (unbranded) gis or with your academy or brand logo. Buying factory-direct from Pakistan, a pearl weave gi typically costs around $22–$28 per piece at 50 pieces, before branding, packing and freight. Minimum orders start at about 25 pieces per colour for OEM gis, and a new order takes roughly 6–8 weeks from confirmation to delivery.
This guide explains the ways to buy BJJ gis wholesale, what they cost, how minimum orders work, and how to choose a supplier, whether you run an academy, a pro shop or your own gi brand.
Who Buys Wholesale BJJ Gis?
- Academies that sell gis to students, often with the academy logo, and want a better margin than retail.
- Pro shops and online stores that resell gis from one or more brands.
- New gi brands that need their own product without building a factory.
- Tournament organisers who supply gis or merchandise for events.
Each group needs something slightly different, so start by deciding which route below fits you.
Three Ways to Buy BJJ Gis Wholesale
| Route | What you get | Typical minimum | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand wholesale account | Another brand’s gis at a trade discount | Varies by brand | Pro shops reselling known brands |
| Blank or OEM gis from a factory | Factory-made gis, unbranded or with your logo added | Around 25 pieces per colour | Academies, small brands |
| Private label or custom gis | Your own design, labels and packaging | 50–100+ pieces per design | Gi brands building their own line |
Brand wholesale is the easiest way to stock gis, but your margin is limited and the gis carry someone else’s brand.
Factory-direct OEM gis cost less per piece and can carry your academy or brand logo. You choose from the factory’s standard patterns and fabrics.
Private label and custom gis give you full control of the design, fabric and packaging, but need a larger order and more time. Our guide to OEM vs private label explains the difference.
Wholesale BJJ Gi Prices
Factory-direct prices depend mainly on fabric weight, weave, quantity and branding. As an indicative guide for buying from Pakistan:
| Cost line | Indicative cost per gi |
|---|---|
| Pearl weave gi, 50 pieces, factory price | $22–$28 |
| Branding (collar label, chest patch, pants print) | $4–$6 |
| Freight (spread over 50 gis) | $6–$8 |
| Samples (spread over 50 gis) | About $2 |
| Typical delivered cost | mid-$30s to mid-$40s |
Unit prices drop as quantity rises, because cutting set-up, embroidery digitising and samples are shared across more pieces. Heavier fabrics, gold weave, custom-woven jackets and extra embroidery positions cost more. Our custom BJJ gi cost breakdown explains each line in detail.
Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ)
MOQs exist because cutting, sampling and set-up cost the same whether a factory makes 10 gis or 100. At Onrox International:
| Programme | Minimum |
|---|---|
| OEM gis (our pattern, your logo) | 25 pieces per colour |
| Private label (your labels and packaging) | 50 pieces |
| Fully custom design | 100 pieces |
Sizes can be split within an order. A typical adult academy order is heavy in A1, A2 and A3, with fewer A0, A4 and kids’ sizes. Use our BJJ gi sizing chart to plan the split.
Lead Times
For a new order with Onrox, plan around 6–8 weeks from order confirmation to delivery:
| Stage | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Mockup and spec confirmation | A few days |
| Pre-production sample | About 2 weeks |
| Bulk production | 25–35 days after sample approval |
| Shipping | About 5–10 days by express courier; longer by sea |
Repeat orders with the same specification usually take 4–5 weeks, because the pattern and sample are already approved.
How to Choose a Wholesale Gi Supplier
- Check you are talking to a manufacturer. Ask for factory photos or a video call, and check whether they quote fabric, GSM and lead times without hesitation. Our guide on manufacturer vs reseller lists the signs.
- Ask for the spec in writing. Weave, GSM for jacket and pants, collar build and reinforcement.
- Order a sample before bulk. Wash it, roll in it and check the measurements.
- Compare landed cost, not unit price. Add branding, packing, freight and duty.
- Check duty rules. Gis made in Pakistan can enter the UK and EU at reduced or zero duty under trade preference schemes when the paperwork is right. See our guide to duty-free BJJ gear imports.
- Agree payment terms. 50% deposit and 50% before shipment is common.
- Get an NDA if you are sharing your own designs.
Blank Gis vs Branded Gis for Academies
| Blank gis | Branded academy gis | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lowest | Slightly higher (labels, patches, embroidery) |
| Margin when resold | Lower; students compare with retail | Higher; unique to your academy |
| Team identity | None | Strong; students wear your brand |
| Minimum | Around 25 per colour | Around 25 per colour for OEM gis |
Many academies start with a branded OEM gi in white, blue and black, then add rash guards and shorts in the same design. See custom gear for BJJ academies for ideas, and our rash guard size chart and grappling shorts size chart for no-gi sizing.
Wholesale Gi Checklist
