Ready One is a custom compression wear manufacturer offering graduated compression fabric for leggings, tops, sleeves, and shorts. Founded in 2012, the Sialkot, Pakistan factory brings 14+ years of manufacturing experience. Furthermore, it produces 100,000–150,000 units per month across a 25,000 sq ft facility. Specifically, compression wear production runs alongside the closely related custom activewear manufacturing line.
Ready One serves 1,000+ brands across 40+ countries and holds ISO 9001, BSCI, SEDEX, GOTS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and WRAP certification. Moreover, custom compression wear orders start from 50 units per style. Consequently, brands can start a custom compression wear order with compression level confirmed before sampling.
What Is Graduated Compression Fabric?
Graduated compression fabric applies varying pressure levels across a single garment. Specifically, pressure is typically higher at the extremity and gradually decreases higher up the limb. Furthermore, this structure is achieved through varied knit density, not just fabric stretch. Consequently, compression garments require more precise fabric engineering than standard activewear.
What Compression Levels Does Ready One Offer?
Compression level is specified as light, medium, or firm, based on the tech pack requirement. Specifically, each level uses a different knit density and elastane percentage. Furthermore, compression level is tested for consistency across the full size range. Consequently, a brand’s smallest and largest sizes both deliver the intended compression.
Compression garments are commonly requested by fitness, recovery, and medical-adjacent brands. Specifically, use case affects which compression level is most appropriate. Moreover, Ready One’s team can advise on suitable compression levels based on intended use. In addition, this guidance is provided at no extra cost during product development.
What Fabric Blends Are Used for Compression Wear?
Nylon-elastane and polyester-elastane blends are the standard compression wear fabrics. Specifically, elastane percentage is the primary driver of compression strength. Furthermore, moisture-wicking finish is standard across all compression fabric options. Consequently, compression garments manage both pressure and sweat during activity.
How Is Compression Wear Constructed?
Flatlock seams are standard construction for compression garments. Specifically, this seam type lies flatter against the skin than a standard overlock seam. Furthermore, seam placement is planned to avoid friction during tested movement patterns. Consequently, compression wear remains comfortable during extended high-intensity use.
How Is Compression Accuracy Tested?
Compression pressure is tested against the tech pack specification before bulk production. Specifically, this confirms the garment delivers the intended pressure level once finished. Furthermore, testing is repeated across different sizes within the same style. Consequently, compression accuracy is not assumed — it is verified before the order proceeds.
Does Compression Wear Support Custom Branding?
Yes, sublimation printing and small embroidered logos are available for compression wear. Specifically, sublimation is preferred since it does not affect fabric stretch or compression. Furthermore, embroidery is limited to small logo placements to avoid restricting stretch. Consequently, brands can add visible branding without compromising garment performance.
Can Compression Wear Be Ordered in Multiple Colourways?
Yes, multiple colourways can be produced within the same production order. Specifically, each colourway is dyed or printed and approved as a separate sample. Furthermore, per-colourway MOQ is confirmed at quote stage before the order is placed. Consequently, brands launching a compression range in several colours know the minimum per colour.
What Is the Production Timeline for Compression Wear?
A standard compression wear order takes 30–45 days from sample approval to DDP delivery. Specifically, compression testing is completed within the standard sampling window. Furthermore, this does not add extra time beyond Ready One’s typical activewear timeline. Consequently, brands receive one predictable delivery date for compression wear orders.
Ready One confirms colourway MOQ and dye lead time before sampling begins for each variant. Consequently, brands avoid a surprise cost or timeline shift once the order is already in production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is graduated compression fabric?
Graduated compression fabric applies tighter pressure at the extremity and less higher up the limb. Furthermore, this is common in compression leggings and calf sleeves for circulation support. Consequently, the fabric knit structure varies across the garment, not just its overall stretch.
Does Ready One test compression garments for fit accuracy?
Yes, compression level is tested against the tech pack before bulk production. Furthermore, this includes checking pressure consistency across the size range. Consequently, a size medium and a size large both deliver the intended compression level. In addition, this testing happens on the pre-production sample, not the finished bulk order.
What seam construction does Ready One use for compression wear?
Flatlock seams are standard for compression wear to reduce skin friction. Furthermore, this construction lies flatter against the body than a standard overlock seam. Consequently, compression garments remain comfortable during high-movement activity.
What is the MOQ for custom compression wear?
Ready One’s MOQ for custom compression wear starts at 50 units per style. Furthermore, this applies across leggings, tops, sleeves, and shorts. Specifically, compression level does not change the standard MOQ. Consequently, fitness and medical-adjacent brands can test a style before scaling production.
