This is the foundational phase of the manufacturing journey. Clients typically reach out with an initial inquiry, providing key details such as design ideas, sketches, tech packs, target markets, budget, and timelines. A tech pack includes all essential garment information — measurements, fabric types, colors, stitching styles, trims, labels, and finishing preferences. Our product development team carefully reviews this pack to assess feasibility, suggest optimizations, and fill in any missing technical or production-related information. During this stage, clear communication is essential to align expectations, ensure we fully understand the client’s requirements, and establish a roadmap that balances creativity, cost-efficiency, and manufacturability. This step ends with a clear and mutual understanding of the product vision, timelines, and expected outcomes.
