You may already have your brand name and logo and if so, we can apply this to the clothing, however, many of our entrepreneurs don’t have this. We can create the brand name and logo for you and guide youthrough the trademarkingprocess to protect your brand.

Tech packs are basically architects’ drawingsto instruct thefactory on how to produce the garment and where to purchase specific fabrics and components from. These tech packs will include detailed size specifications and artworks for all trims, prints and appliques. A separate tech pack will be created for the branded trims that will be developed with our nominatedtrim supplier, in order toprotect the quality and supply of the branded items.

As soon as we receive the prototypes,we review themand make sure they measure to the specification. We look at the construction and critique each sample,listing the improvements that thefactory needs to make on the next samples. We then fit the samples on a perfect medium fitting model to make sure the fit is consistent across the range and there are no issues with movement.

We repeat the process of fitting and measuring the 2nd Prototype,and check that all of the construction improvements have been made. We carry out a final inspection of the construction and pass onour concluding commentsto the factory,they will then adjustthe patterns and update the technical specification.

Bulk production lead times vary dramatically, with several factors determining the overall lead time. The first factor is how long it will take for the nominated fabric mill to produce the fabrics. Because we produce performance sportswear, many fabric mills don’t hold stock as there are so many different levels of performance they can produce by adding finishes and treatments. Fabric production could take up to 12-16 weeks to produce it to your specific performance and colour requirements. These fabrics then need to be shipped to the factory who will quality check them before they are cut.

Production lead times then vary depending on how complex the garments are, how big the factory is, and the volume produced. It can be as fast as a couple of weeks or as long as 8-10 weeks.

Prior to the bulk production getting underway, we receive from the factory a final “Pre-Production” sample to check and approve before they commence bulk production and size sets, which are measured to make sure the pattern grade is correct so an XS or XXL will actually fit.

Once production has finished, you will have a choice of how you want to ship the goods, by sea, plane, courier or truck depending on the location of the factory and the required shipping address.
