What types of insurance does a clothing manufacturer need?

Clothing manufacturers manage risks tied to fabric supply, production lines, and distribution. The core coverages include: 

  • General Liability – Protects against third-party injuries or property damage, such as slips in a factory or client site visits. 
  • Workers’ Compensation – Required in most states if you employ staff; covers workplace injuries such as repetitive strain, cuts, or equipment accidents. 
  • Product Liability – Protects against claims if garments are defective or cause harm to consumers.
