• Clothes Prototyping

Samples are also known as prototypes. So, to create your initial sample, you need to hire a clothing sample maker and make sure you choose a clothing sample worker that works with the production unit. It benefits your brand in the long-term work.

The clothing sample maker also offers pattern-making services, and cutting is the basic and manual thing you need for your sample development.

This way, the clothe maker will develop a prototype using the pattern and requirements. And another thing to remember is that you are all responsible for providing the sample maker with everything, such as components or every little information about how you want your sample to be.

After manufacturing, these samples are sent to the client or brand to check whether the product is according to their requirement. The product is not according to the requirements defined earlier, and they can ask the manufacturers to make the following changes.

To avoid the hassles and end-time changes, the manufacturers sent a “tech-pack file” before the sample making. This tech-pack file shows a visual representation of the product. In contrast, the tech pack file also mentions all the details about the measurements, colours, sizing, functionalities, and fabrics.

An expert clothing manufacturer sends you a tech pack file that includes the spec sheets containing information about telling the details, measurements, color grading information, sizing, cutting, trims, buttons, zippers information and usage manual and other information in it.
