Tulum Fashions manufactures private label medical scrubs in Medellín, Colombia. Scrub tops, jogger and straight leg scrub trousers, warm up jackets and lab coats, plus chef jackets, aprons and kitchen wear, produced full package for scrub brands, clinics, restaurants and uniform distributors.
Nobody buys a second set because the fabric was interesting. They buy it because the first set fit through a twelve hour shift and came back from the wash the same size and the same color. Grading and shrinkage control are where a scrub programme is actually won.
Up to 3 colors inside that minimum, sizes mix freely. From 100 to 149 is a small run; below 100, development and samples only.
From approved sample and received deposit. Development and sampling take about 4 weeks.
With a certificate of origin. Colombian apparel is not duty free, whatever the industry says. Chinese apparel runs 36 to 52%.
Development is paid work, quoted per style and charged before it starts. This is published policy, not a case by case negotiation.
Fabric and trim sourcing, patterns, tech pack, artwork, one physical sample.
3 rounds included in the fee.
Included. Courier is US$35.
From 100 to 149 units we run a small batch (up to 2 colors, at a +35% short-run surcharge on list price). Below 100 units there is no production run: we can do the development and the physical sample, which are yours to keep.
Development fee
The development fee is paid once, and we credit 50% of the development and sample fees of a style against its first production order (150 units or more, deposit paid within 90 days of sample approval), applied to the final balance.
Local textile mills supply breathable cotton, poly and spandex blends engineered for 12-hour shifts: soft hand-feel, four-way stretch, antimicrobial finishes available.
Patterns developed for US sizing standards (XS–3XL) with athletic and modern-tapered fits. Embroidery, custom labels and color matching are included in the full-package service.
Colombian apparel enters the US with a 12.5% additional duty (Section 301, as of August 2026, subject to change) and duty-free into the EU and UK under their trade agreements, subject to rules of origin. Air freight to your door in 3–5 days.
150 units per style, split across up to 3 colors. Sizes mix freely, which matters in scrubs more than in any other category we run. From 100 to 149 units we run a small batch (up to 2 colors, at a +35% short-run surcharge on list price). Below 100 there is no production run; we can still do the development and the physical sample, which are yours to keep.
Scrub tops, jogger and straight leg scrub trousers, warm up jackets and lab coats, plus chef jackets, aprons and kitchen wear. Pocket configuration, drawcords, side vents and branding are specified per style.
Poly cotton and poly spandex blends sourced in Colombia, chosen by weight, stretch and recovery against your reference. We match by construction, weight and fiber content and send swatches before production. The swatch is included in the development fee, courier is US$35.
Only where the mill certifies the finish. Those are fabric treatments, not something a factory can claim on its own, so we quote them against a specific mill reference and pass through the mill documentation. We do not put a performance claim on a garment we cannot document.
Yes, and it is worth spending the development budget there. Scrubs sell across a wider size range than fashion, and a size curve that only works in the middle is the most common reason a scrub programme fails on reorder. Fit corrections come with 3 rounds included in the sample fee.
6 to 8 weeks from approved sample and received deposit. Development and sampling take about 4 weeks. Air freight from Medellín to the United States adds 3 to 5 days.
No. That claim is common in the industry and it is wrong. As of August 2026 Colombian apparel enters the United States at 12.5% with a valid certificate of origin. The advantage is real but it is a comparison, not an exemption: effective duties on Chinese apparel run 36 to 52%.
Yes, provided the brand can commit to 150 units per style and pay for development. Development is paid work: US$829.01 per style from scratch (US$466.32 development + US$362.69 sample), US$569.94 if you bring your own tech pack. We do not absorb development cost in exchange for a future order.
