How Our Apparel Manufacturing Process Works
From brief to dispatch.
-
Garment route01
Brief & feasibility
We review product type, tech pack status, quantities, target market, target date, material direction, and compliance needs.
Inputs: tech pack · artwork · quantityYou receive: written feasibility notes and an itemised quotation
Quality controlFeasibility gate
Risks, tolerances, destination requirements, testing needs, and approval gates are defined before development starts.
- Approval / control
- Approval: feasibility brief · quality plan
- Inspection focus
- Testing documents · Labels & regulatory marks
-
Garment route02
Material sourcing
Fabric and trims are matched to product behavior, budget, availability, MOQ, testing, and color requirements.
Approvals: swatch · lab dip · strike-offYou receive: fabric and trim photos with the approved shade reference
Quality controlMaterial receipt
Lot identity, shade grouping, width, weight, defects, trims, and supporting reports are checked at receipt.
- Approval / control
- Approval: swatch · lab dip · strike-off
- Inspection focus
- Shade & visual appearance · Testing documents
-
Garment route03
Pattern & prototype
The pattern translates measurements and construction into the first physical sample for design review.
Output: prototype sampleYou receive: prototype photos from the front, back and construction details
Quality controlPrototype review
Construction sequence, seam type, placement, dimensions, and machine requirements are checked against the technical file.
- Approval / control
- Output: prototype · construction comments
- Inspection focus
- Construction & seam quality · Print / embroidery placement
-
Garment route04
Fit & size set
Measurements, balance, mobility, finishing, and grading are checked and corrected against comments.
Approvals: fit sample · size setYou receive: fit photos or a short video checked against the measurement chart
Quality controlFit & size-set approval
Measurements, balance, mobility, grading, function, and agreed tolerances are verified before sizes are released.
- Approval / control
- Approval: fit sample · size set
- Inspection focus
- Measurements & tolerances · Function & durability
-
Garment route05
Pre-production lock
All materials, trims, measurements, artwork, labels, packaging, and workmanship standards are signed off.
Output: approved production fileYou receive: photos of the signed pre-production sample, labels and packing
Quality controlPre-production control
The approved sample, specification, measurement chart, artwork, labels, materials, and workmanship are locked into one file.
- Approval / control
- Output: signed pre-production file
- Inspection focus
- Print / embroidery placement · Labels & regulatory marks · Corrective action records
-
Garment route06
Bulk cutting & sewing
Material lots are checked, cutting is controlled by markers, and sewing starts with first-output verification.
Controls: shade · cut parts · first outputYou receive: first-output photos and a short production line video
Quality controlFirst output & inline control
Cut parts, first output, seam construction, appearance, machine settings, defect correction, and consistency are monitored.
- Approval / control
- Control: shade · cut parts · first output
- Inspection focus
- Construction & seam quality · Shade & visual appearance · Corrective action records
-
Garment route07
Inline & final quality
Measurements and workmanship are checked during production, then final goods are inspected before packing.
Controls: inline · final · functionYou receive: inline and final inspection photos with the defect summary
Quality controlFinal inspection
Quantity, appearance, measurements, function, labeling, workmanship, and packing readiness are checked for release.
- Approval / control
- Release: inline findings · final inspection
- Inspection focus
- Measurements & tolerances · Function & durability · Construction & seam quality
-
Garment route08
Packing & dispatch
Approved labels, folding, polybags, assortments, carton markings, and shipping documents are completed.
Output: shipment handoverYou receive: carton, label and loading photos before handover
Quality controlShipment release
Quantity, folding, polybags, assortments, carton marks, inspection disposition, and documents are verified before dispatch.
- Approval / control
- Output: packing records · shipment handover
- Inspection focus
- Packing & assortment · Labels & regulatory marks · Testing documents
Four documents. One standard.
- Doc 1
Approved sample
The physical reference bulk is judged against.
