There are 4 essential steps in the apparel product development process. We are here to help you in any or all 4 stages of the process or you can choose at what point we step in to help. As a business owner you should focus on doing what
you know and love and we will take care of the rest! The steps and services we
offer are listed below. Please submit your request on what services
you need help with and we will provide a free consultation with recommendations, and price quotes.
The 1st step is design. In this step we
will finalize the conceptual aspect of your designs or styles. What do you want
your styles to look like? What is the image of the line? What colors and
fabrics will they be made out of? We will present you with options that answer
all of these questions after we gather information on your brand and vision. We
offer solution-based design that is focused on the function of the final piece as
well as the aesthetics.
The 2nd step is having prototypes made of your
products to start testing for fit, functionality, feedback, and style. We will
create a series of prototypes and analyze each until a perfect sample has become a
reality. This process generally takes 2-3 samples before achieving desired
results. With our knowledge of construction methods, fabrics and styling we will
also make recommendations that will make your product superior in quality and
fit.
The 3rd step is technical design. We will
create a series of documents that is essentially a blue print for a manufacturer
to price out and manufacture your garment. These documents are called
specification sheets or technical specification packets. They will embody the
technical fabric specs. They will include stitching
details, trims, label info and packaging specs. Lastly,
the grading or size change information of your garment at each point of measure will be
included.
The 4th and final step is producing your product. We offer manufacturing and sourcing for large and small orders. We
have production capabilities for small custom orders. We also have long standing
relationships with factories all over the world for large orders. We will work with you to
determine the best factory to manufacture your product based on order
quantities and duty category. We will also work to find the exact fabric
that you desire for your product.
