A clear route sets the material, pattern, sampling and MOQ questions at the beginning.
LESS DEVELOPMENT ← → MORE DESIGN FREEDOM
ODM
Market brief or reference- Pattern development
- Fabric selection
- Fit revision
- Approved PPS
OEM
Approved Tech Pack- Approved specification
- Specified materials

- PPS approval
Fabric, dye, special trim and mold minimums are quoted separately from garment MOQ.
02 / YOUR CUSTOMIZATION PATH
Your customization path
Each approval creates an output that the next team can work from.
01BriefProduct, market, volume and Tech Pack / reference
02MaterialSwatch, code and color route

Sample and bulk timing depend on the approved scope. Bulk timing begins after PPS approval, deposit and fabric readiness.
03 / START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
Bring the input you already have
We can assess the route from a technical file, an existing style, a sketch or a physical reference.

A competitor garment may be used only as a technical reference; protected branding or a customer's design is not copied.
04 / FIT & PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Control the shape, not just the size
Define the product at construction points, then test grading and movement through a size set.
