What is Apparel Product Development? The 6-Stage Process

Have you ever considered the processes involved in creating each piece of clothing you wear every day?

The design and engineering of items that are functional for the intended consumer, marketable, producible, and lucrative is referred to as product development. Product development team must go through all the stages before creating a new product. Moreover, the main goal of product development is to ensure customer satisfaction and reduce return.

The garment sector has focused more on these procedures to oversee the product development process as a result of rising competition. These metrics can be applied to adopt best practices or benchmarking tools. In terms of pricing, sampling, and information gathering, the product development division in the apparel business serves as a gateway for new customers.

Design Submission
Sourcing / Product Development
Sample Development
Bulk Production
Quality Control Inspection
Delivery

Design Submission

Submitting your designs or ideas in the form of sketches, illustrations and tech-packs serve as roadmap and as a key component for the subsequent stages that follow. Tech-packs contain all the necessary information that outline the details, including sketches, materials to be used, pantone colors, etc. for the products to be developed. If you are a new brand and not have tech-packs developed, we can get you started and help build your own along with other relevant design submissions.

Sourcing / Product Development

Post the design submission process, we look to source all then essential materials to meet the design specifications, paying close attention to even the minutest of details, such as the choice of fabrics, trims, mockups, visual examples of seams, even labels and packaging.

Sample Development

Once all the relevant materials are sourced, we bring your ideas to life through the development of samples. Not only do we look to create the sample as per specifications, but it is also imperative that they meet the quality standards right from the beginning. These samples serve as statement of what’s to come during bulk production. It is only after the samples have been approved, we move on the most exciting step…

Bulk Production

Once you approve of the samples, we move on to mass manufacturing. Your designs are prepared to take form and your consumers to behold! Here, we provide TOP (Top of Production) samples after entering the production as a reassurance that the products are developed as per plan.

Quality Control Inspection

In order to ensure that the units satisfy the specifications for the finished product, testing is done as part of quality control. Businesses that employ effective quality control can better meet client demands. The aim of the testing is to pinpoint any potential manufacturing process modifications.

Our highly qualified and competent quality control team are rigorous about the production standards and ensure that the products are delivered as per requirements.

Delivery

Here’s the final stage of an apparel development, that’s delivery.

Following the precise packaging instructions, you provide; we send your order. Your doorstep receives the crafts of your dreams! Most brands work with independent logistics providers. We can assist you if you don’t have one. Our global network of logistics partners is extensive. We strive to make the delivery procedure as simple and “hassle-free” as we can for you.

These are the 6 stage process of an apparel product development. The process of product development in garment companies is ever growing. Businesses focus on streamlining and reducing the product development cycle using the most recent technologies and increasing market responsiveness in order tobe more efficient and cost-effective.
