The challenge

The founder had sketches, a fixed budget and no production experience. Most factories quoted 500+ pieces per style, and the founder wasn’t sure what a tech pack, lab dip or size set even was.

Our solution

We walked the founder through each step with a simple checklist, turned the sketches into two tech packs, used stock-colour fabrics to keep minimums low, and added private-label neck prints, hang tags and poly bags so the goods arrived ready to sell.

  • Plain-language production checklist
  • 2 tech packs from sketches
  • Stock-colour fabrics to keep MOQ low
  • Private-label trims, ready to sell
