Prepare a clearer brief
What to Send Before We Start
You can begin with a complete tech pack, a reference sample or a clear concept. More specific information helps the team review feasibility, sampling priorities and quotation details.
Product direction
Garment type, target fit, size range, colorways, reference photos and intended use.
Materials and details
Preferred fabric or GSM, trims, labels, artwork files, print placement and finishing ideas.
Order information
Estimated quantity by style and size, delivery destination and target timing for review.
Eight coordinated stages
How Your Custom Apparel Moves Through Production
Each project is different, but the same decision sequence helps reduce avoidable revisions and keeps responsibilities clear.
Project Brief & Feasibility Review
We review the style, quantity, construction, artwork and destination. Missing details are identified before a quotation or development route is confirmed.
Fabric, Trims & Decoration Planning
Fabric weight and hand feel, rib, lining, zippers, labels, packaging and suitable printing or embroidery methods are aligned with the design.
Pattern & Sample Development
The team prepares or adjusts the pattern, confirms measurements and develops a physical sample using the agreed construction and materials.
Sample Review & Revision
You check fit, measurements, color, artwork placement, workmanship and branding. Comments are consolidated before the next revision or approval.
Pre-Production Confirmation
Final specifications, approved sample details, size breakdown, materials, decoration, labels, packaging and order information are checked together.
Bulk Production
Fabric and trims are prepared, panels are cut, decoration and sewing are organized, and production follows the confirmed specification.
Quality Checks
Workmanship, measurements, visible defects, decoration placement and order consistency are reviewed during production and before packing.
Branding, Packing & Shipping Coordination
Approved labels, hangtags and packaging are applied. Packed quantities and shipping information are coordinated for the selected delivery route.
Approve the right details
Key Decision Checkpoints
A project moves faster when each stage ends with a specific approval instead of scattered comments.
