Direct answer

A reliable custom program moves through a written brief, feasibility review, material approval, prototype, fit and wear testing, sealed pre-production sample, bulk production, inspection and shipment handover.

01

1. Commercial and technical brief

Share target market, reference product, silhouette, control zones, size and color range, quantity, target cost, packaging and launch date. State whether you need OEM replication, ODM adaptation or original development.

02

2. Material and prototype development

Approve handfeel, shade and stretch performance before relying on a finished sample. For custom fabrics or seamless knit maps, allow development iterations.

03

3. Fit, wear and wash testing

Evaluate mobility, rolling, digging, gusset access, garment recovery and visibility under clothing. Test the size range, not only the base size.

04

4. Pre-production approval and bulk QC

Seal a dated reference sample and specification pack. Define in-line checks, final inspection method, measurement tolerance, defect classification and packaging audit.

05

5. Logistics and post-order learning

Confirm carton marks, incoterm, shipping documents and delivery window. Feed returns and customer fit comments into the next production cycle.
