From approved sample to shipment

Once a sample is approved, it becomes the standard for every piece in the order. The work between approval and shipment is about one thing: making the 200th or the 2,000th garment match the sample you signed off. This is how an order moves through our floor, and where it is checked along the way.

1. Pre-production sample and meeting

Before bulk begins, we make a pre-production sample in the actual bulk fabric and trims. It confirms that what was approved in development still holds with production materials.

The production, cutting, stitching and quality teams then review the sample, the tech pack and your comments together. Construction details, measurements and any risk points are agreed before a single piece is cut.

2. Fabric and trims checked on arrival

Every fabric delivery is inspected for weaving and printing faults, colour against the approved standard, width and weight. Rolls are grouped by shade so that panels from slightly different dye lots never end up in the same garment.

Trims, including buttons, zips, labels and threads, are checked against the approved trim card before they reach the line.

3. Pattern, grading and cutting

The approved pattern is graded across your size range. A marker, the layout of every pattern piece on the fabric, is planned to keep waste low and the grain correct.

Fabric is spread in layers and cut, then each piece is numbered and bundled by size and shade. This keeps every garment made from matching pieces.

4. Stitching

Each style is broken down into its individual operations, from shoulder seams to hems, and the line is set up accordingly. Operators are matched to the operations they know best.

Quality checkers on the line inspect work as it is sewn, so a fault is caught on the first pieces rather than the last. The first finished garments from the line are measured and checked against the sample before the line runs at full speed.

5. Embroidery and embellishment

Where a design has embroidery, beadwork or other detailing, it is placed and produced by our own teams, either on the cut panels before stitching or on the finished garment, depending on the design. Placement is checked against the approved sample.

6. Finishing

Garments are trimmed of loose threads, washed where the style needs it, and pressed. Each piece is checked for measurements, appearance and workmanship before it moves to packing.

7. Final inspection

Before packing is closed, a sample of the finished order is inspected against the approved sample and your specification, using a recognised statistical sampling standard. Third-party inspection is welcome, and we will arrange access for your inspector on request.

8. Packing and shipment

Garments are folded, tagged, bagged and packed to your instructions: labels, hangtags, polybags, carton sizes, carton marks and size ratios. Orders ship FOB from major Indian ports, with documents prepared for your freight forwarder.

What this means for you

One team follows your order from the first meeting to the final carton. If a question comes up on the line, the people who can answer it are in the same building, and you hear from one contact throughout.
