The problem
Most first-time makers meet the same three walls on the way to a first run.
Money disappears into sample rounds that start from an unclear file.
A factory that cannot read your sketch guesses, and every guess lands on your budget.
Quotes arrive as ranges and surprises, which makes a launch budget hard to plan.
The fix
Tech pack packages
Three packages, each priced by garment tier. Every one starts with flats, construction callouts, a bill of materials, points of measure and colorways.
The complete tech pack: flats, callouts, bill of materials, points of measure and colorways. Two revision rounds included.
The Spec plus grading for up to five sizes, so your factory has the full size run to quote and cut.
Factory Ready plus one sample review round, with fit and construction comments written against the spec.
Tees, tanks, sweatshirts, simple knits and wovens.
Few pattern pieces, minimal trims.Pants, jeans, styles with hardware, pockets or wash details.
More pieces, trims and construction callouts.Jackets, lined or structured pieces.
Linings, many components, multiple views.Complex pricing starts at the listed figure and is scoped to the style. Tiers follow garment components (pattern pieces, trims, hardware and views), so every quote is consistent.
