Choose Uniouter for OEM/ODM Custom Garment Production from Scratch

If you are looking for a professional OEM or ODM garment manufacturer, it's likely because you aim to go beyond simple wholesale purchasing and move away from the traditional model of merely printing a logo onto ready-made products. Instead, you seek deeper, higher-quality garment customization services. In this scenario, selecting a manufacturer with extensive experience and a comprehensive product database covering all categories such as T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, outerwear, coats, pants, etc., is undoubtedly a critical decision that ensures project success.

The core of OEM/ODM garment customization lies in the client's deep involvement and the manufacturer's professional execution. Typically, you need to provide us with detailed design materials, which may include design drawings, physical samples, or specific technical specification documents. Based on these inputs, we will take full responsibility for the subsequent manufacturing process and strictly adhere to your requirements to accurately integrate your brand identity into the final product.

As seasoned practitioners in the apparel industry, our custom team is proficient in the production techniques for various types of garments. While we are not rigidly bound to fixed product templates or styles, providing a clear Tech Pack or other forms of detailed specification documents is crucial for efficient communication and accurately realizing your vision, ensuring smooth sample production and delivery.

What is a Tech Pack?

A Tech Pack (Technical Package) is an authoritative document guiding garment production. It compiles all the core information about the product, including but not limited to manufacturing processes, precise dimensional specifications, stitching details, and requirements for fabrics and trims. For a professional garment customization factory, this document is the cornerstone for ensuring production accuracy and meeting customer expectations. It provides clear operational instructions for the production team and is key to safeguarding final product quality and enhancing customer satisfaction.

Measurements and Specifications: The Tech Pack includes the dimensions and specifications of the garment, such as collar, sleeve, and leg length, which are crucial as they determine the comfort and fit of the clothing.

Sewing Methods and Techniques: The Tech Pack provides detailed instructions regarding sewing methods and techniques, such as thread color, thickness, and strength, which are important factors in ensuring product quality.

Fabric Selection and Quantity: The Tech Pack specifies the choice and quantity of fabric, allowing the factory to purchase and use the correct materials according to the client's requirements, thus producing garments that meet the specified standards.

Quality Requirements: The Tech Pack also includes quality requirements, such as yarn density, stitch density, pressing level, etc. This helps the factory understand the client's requirements and standards, ensuring the products comply with them.

How to Start Working With Us?

A 12-Step Guide to Communicating with Custom Garment Manufacturers

01

Introduce Yourself

Introduce yourself and your brand clearly. Provide sufficient details to convince them that you are a trustworthy client and are prepared for serious discussions.

02

Find a Suitable Manufacturer

When explaining the type of garments you want to produce, be sure to ask about their previous experience. Have they done similar things before? Try to learn as much information as possible.

03

Production Stage

You must clearly define what types of services are needed at your current production stage and which services you expect the manufacturer to provide. Do not assume they can meet all of your requirements.

04

Request a Quote

When requesting a quote, be specific about the quantities involved. Ask about your expected quantities. If your demand fluctuates across different volumes, special pricing might be available for larger production runs.

05

Stick Strictly to Budget

Set a budget and determine the acceptable variance range. Then ask the manufacturer if they can meet the budget. Asking for the unit price is the most straightforward method. Request the manufacturer to calculate costs broken down into different garment components.

06

Clarify the Process

To track the production flow, be sure to understand the steps involved in working with that specific manufacturer. Note the overall timeline.

07

Production and Delivery Timeline

Ask about the delivery timeline and available production slots. Please note that last-minute order changes may cause you to miss reserved slots and significantly delay production.

08

Strictly Adhere to the Schedule

Create a schedule and confirm whether the garment manufacturer can complete the work on time. If not, ask what adjustments can be made to the process to finish within the required timeframe.

09

Production Follow-up

Be sure to confirm again that the manufacturer has gathered all necessary information, materials, and resources to ensure the project starts and completes smoothly. Once confirmation is received and production begins, closely monitor the production process.

10

Sign a Confidentiality Agreement

Manufacturers must adhere to basic industry and client ethical standards. You can sign a confidentiality agreement with the manufacturer to protect the intellectual property rights of your designs.

11

Explanation of Hidden Costs

Garment manufacturing costs may or may not include expenses such as labels, packaging, shipping, import/export duties, etc. To avoid unnecessary complications, please clarify these costs early in the project.

12

Pay on Time

Paying on time completes the transaction.

1. 1)Clear Communication Channels: Ensuring accurate and timely information transfer, reducing misunderstandings and delays.
2. 2)Fast Sample Production: Our team responds quickly, efficiently completing sample production so you can confirm the final results sooner.
3. 3)Transparent Quotation System: Providing clear and definite cost estimates, offering better control over your budget planning.
