Garment Contract Manufacturing

Garment contract manufacturing involves having ready-to-wear products sewn and produced by another manufacturer. Turkey is one of Europe's largest garment suppliers.

Garment Manufacturing Stages

1. Design and Tech Pack Preparation

A tech pack containing all technical details, fabric information, color codes, accessory lists, and size charts is prepared.

2. Pattern Making

A master pattern is created according to the design and graded for all sizes.

3. Cutting

Fabric is spread according to patterns and cut. Modern facilities use computer-aided cutting systems.

4. Sewing

Cut pieces are assembled on the sewing line using overlock, straight stitch, and special sewing machines.

5. Washing and Finishing

Enzyme washing, stone washing, or softening processes are applied as needed.

6. Quality Control

Each product is individually inspected for sewing defects, stains, measurement deviations, and accessory completeness.

• AQL or inspection plan
• Restricted-substance test scope
• Sample and size-set approval record

Next steps

1. Confirm material identity before sampling.
2. Tie inspection checkpoints to the buyer specification.
3. Keep test reports and care-label logic in the same supplier file.
