Sample making is one of the most crucial steps in clothing manufacturing. It reflects your tech pack and technical drawings, helping you understand what your design will look like before mass production, preventing any unexpected dissatisfaction.
All samples are produced by our in-house sample team, usually within 7-10 days.
Mass clothing production reduces production time and lowers unit costs through standardized design and manufacturing processes, ensuring consistency in garment quality and design. This approach streamlines operations, minimizes waste, and optimizes resource utilization, making it an economical, efficient, and reliable method for meeting high demand.
Making clothing samples is a crucial step in the fashion industry.
Samples help customers to see their concept in concrete form and to be able to evaluate the style and size of the garment. This is essential for making the necessary adjustments prior to mass production.
Samples help in checking the accuracy of the sizing and fit. This is crucial to ensure that the clothing is comfortable and fits as intended.
Samples help in accurately estimating the production costs, including material, labor, and time.

When all the materials are back, we will check the quality one by one.
Fabrics are the basis for making high quality garments, so at the very beginning, we will check all the fabrics meter by meter.
When the fabric passes the inspection, we will do the pre-shrinking treatment. Unshrunken fabrics may shrink about 3% to 5% after the first wash, while shrunken fabrics can be controlled within a lower shrinkage rate, usually between 1% and 3%.

The paper pattern was already created when the samples were customized, so all we had to do was print the pattern again and overlay it on the fabric so that we could batch cut the required components, both efficiently and to ensure uniformity.

Fabric Piles
We print or embroider on cut fabrics to help ensure that the pattern or design is accurately printed on the garment, and there will always be some imperfections in the printing or embroidery process so that only the fabric to be printed needs to be recut to avoid wasting other fabric piles.

A garment is made up of multiple parts, and not every tailor is familiar with all the processes. To ensure efficient production and quality, we adopt standardized procedures.
This not only improves work efficiency but also ensures consistency in the quality of each part. Standardized procedures allow each tailor to focus on what they excel at, ultimately working together to produce a high-quality finished product.

After all parts are sewn together it’s time for the quality control process. Each garment is thoroughly checked for any defects such as loose threads, stains, or incorrect stitching. Inspectors ensure that all aspects, including seams, hems, and zippers, are up to standard.
The dimensions of each garment are verified to ensure they match the specified size charts. This includes checking the length, width, and other critical measurements.
These components are tested for items with functional elements like zippers, buttons, or snaps to ensure they work correctly and are securely attached.
Once inspected, we will label each garment with the size, care instructions and brand upon request. This may include sewing on woven labels or attaching hang tags and packaging them individually.
