CMT

(Cut, Make and Trim) This is where you outsource your designs to a production unit, where they will take your designs and cut the fabric, make the garments and trim the garment. This can be done within a small manufacturing unit or a big factory. Minimums will vary depending on who you approach.

During the trim section of the garment they will inspect the garment to make sure it&#;s up to standard.

If you go down this route you will be responsible for sourcing all your fabrics and trims. 

FULL PACKAGE

This is where a factory will CMT, offer sampling, graded patterns and many will include the cost to source fabrics and trims for you as well as developing garment labels and swing tickets. This is as stated in the title the full package, if you&#;re going down this route then it&#;s simpler to start with one or two designs, don&#;t go full on with loads of designs, it will be costly, if errors occur then you&#;ve got to sort them out over many styles. Get good at producing one (or two) designs and get that one through production, it&#;s going to be a steep learning curve so it&#;s far better to put all your effort in a small collection and get it looking good rather than a larger collection and not have it to the standard you want. This option will have have the highest minimums sometimes up to pieces.

If you go down this route it&#;s very important to have a tech pack that includes the style of swing tickets and labels you want producing. The factory will be responsible for sourcing all your fabrics and trims.

HARDEST PART OF FINDING A LINGERIE MANUFACTURER

As making lingerie is a specialised skill not all manufacturers are equipped to make it, which can make it frustrating finding one, especially a local one but there can be ways to start if you are wanting to start small but you may have to alter you&#;re original thoughts.

If you&#;ve found a person who make a sample for you in the cottage industry, are they willing to do a small run for you? You may be an expensive option but it may be a way for you to start.

Some manufacturers that usually do outerwear don&#;t touch lingerie especially any that is underwires, but if your designs are a crop top without hook and eyes they may be willing to look at it.

Also if you can&#;t afford the initial out lay for a manufacturer is there a way you can part manufacturer ? So you&#;re not making everything. For example when I first Vanjo, another label I knew would send part of her lingerie to be made. Like sending her straps off to be made, and committed to a bigger order as she used the same straps on all her designs. Another time she cut out all her briefs and sent them off to be overlocked, it probably cost her more per procedure than getting the whole garment made but she built up a relationship with the factory and so when it came to placing a small order they were more willing to accept her order.

Overall make it easy for the factory to deal with you, some factories will want a graded pattern, a sample to follow and a tech page or tech pack, arriving with these shows you&#;re serious about your lingerie. If you have no sample providing a tech page or pack for the factory to cost out is essential, having these from the go puts you one step ahead of another person who has just contacted them, and it&#;s easier for the factory to deal with you than that other person.

And above all, if you find a factory or person to manufacturer, pay on time, something so simple holds you in good steed for the next time.
