Process
How apparel production works, stage by stage
One account team runs development, sampling and bulk. Each stage ends with a deliverable and an approval, so nothing moves forward on a verbal yes.
Five stages
- 01
Brief and costing
We read the tech pack against factory capability, list what is missing, and return a written quotation with a sampling plan.
- 02
Sampling
A prototype is made from the tech pack. Measurements are logged before your review, so fit comments and spec comments stay separate.
- 03
Sample approval
You approve the sample and the spec sheet in writing. Bulk is not cut before this point.
- 04
Bulk production
Fabric is inspected before cutting. The line is booked only after approval, and any change after that is quoted before it is made.
- 05
Inspection and handover
Final inspection against the approved sample, packing to your carton marks, and export documents prepared before your forwarder collects.
Approval gates
Nothing is scheduled on a verbal approval.
| Quotation approved | Sampling is scheduled |
|---|---|
| Prototype and spec sheet approved | Bulk fabric is booked |
| Bulk inspection passed | Goods are packed and released |
What runs in parallel
Shipping documents, labels and packaging are prepared while bulk is running, not after it. One merchandiser holds the commercial invoice, packing list and origin documents, and books freight with your forwarder or ours.
Where a figure is not yet confirmed — a minimum, a date, a price — the quotation says so instead of filling the gap with a typical range.
What we need from you at each stage
To sample
Fabric direction or a supplied fabric, decoration artwork, and the size the prototype should be made in.
To ship
Approved sample, packing instructions, carton marks and consignee details for the documents.
Process questions
Can we skip sampling?
No. Bulk is not cut without an approved prototype and spec sheet, because that approval is what the inspection is measured against.
Who do we talk to during production?
The same merchandiser who quoted the style. There is no handover between a sales desk and the factory floor.
