We are experts at manufacturing your vision to life.
Once we’ve finalized the tech drawings for your product and identified its desired specs, we’re quick to deconstruct your order into a list of its raw materials, steps and approximate production time to give you a cost estimate that’s nearly always on point.
The time it takes to complete this stage varies between 1-2 weeks depending on how far along your idea is developed.
If you’re a return customer placing an order for a product we’ve already developed together, then we’ll jump right into re-approving it for manufacture.
Upon approval of the cost estimate, your product will then enter from the realm of ideas into that of realty.
First product samples usually average between 1-2 weeks depending on its complexity. While your product is in this phase, we’ll contact you with any questions, suggestions for improvements or alterations that might occur.
When the product is done we’ll present it to you for approval or revision along with a final quote and timeline for its scaled production.
Yay! Your order is in, now it’s time to let our well-oiled production line do what it does best—make your product.
We buy all our materials on demand, which means the moment we get the green light our software will notify our purchasing department to buy all the raw materials, allowing us to quickly give you an exact delivery date.
When the materials are delivered to our warehouse, they are assigned to a team that will care for your product from its assembly to completion.
Your team will inspect, color match and spec-test all the materials before moving them to the next phase.
To keep your order lead-time as low as possible, materials are prepped, cut and printed as soon as they come in after passing inspection.
Once the last article in your order arrives, we pull all the prepped ones out of inventory and put them on the production floor as a job kit. The initial sample we agreed on will also be present on the floor along with a support liaison from its team to assure everything is built to the signed-off specifications.
We run a final inspection before packing your product and shipping it to you, our customer, by whichever method we’ve agreed upon.
We have a large manufacturing workforce and specialized automated machines to make cut and sew orders here in the USA
This is the most common mechanical stitch made by a sewing machine and creates a refined, smooth seam that doesn’t pucker. It uses one needle and two threads, an upper and lower thread, which lock together in the fabric and prevent either thread from pulling out of the material.
This is a method for feeding a workpiece through a sewing machine as it’s stitched. It is most useful on heavy materials and is more commonly found on industrial heavy duty machines than household ones. It’s called a walking-foot because the piece on the machine is reminiscent of an upturned elf shoe.
AKA. Programmable Pattern Lockstitch – Automated machines that sew patterns up to 2,700 stitches per a minute. The machine moves on the x and y axis, allowing it to accurately recreate programmed designs and save the data for future use.
This stitch is a box with an X through the middle and is usually used to attached straps to bags.
This high tech printer is able to transfer the image from a flat 2D plane to a variety of complex 3D surfaces.
Similar to the single needle lockstitch, this technique uses two needles, is less labor intensive, but also more prone to puckering. If you look inside the leg seam of any standard pair of Levi’s, you’ll see this stitch at work.
This is a finishing stitch that sews over the edge of a material to make an edging, decorative hemming or seaming. This stitch requires a special machine that can create loops on the edges of a material. “Serger” is often used interchangeably with “Overlock” though the term technically is for an overlocking machine that uses automated cutters.
This is a double or triple stitch used for hemming knit fabrics and seams that stretch. One side of the stitch displays two parallel lines, while the underside connects the parallel lines with a zig-zag pattern.
This is a unseen stitch that is used in hems or joining two pieces of fabrics. The stitch is usually hidden within the fold of the fabric and only visible when the folded material is pulled apart.
A method of printing that transfers ink onto a substrate. To keep certain areas impermeable and fee of ink, a stencil is used to create designs.
This is a machine that uses more than one needle in the sewing head and can sew the same design onto separate garments at the same time, while producing an array of fabric stitching effects. A multi-needle machine usually has between four to 16 needles, though it can have upwards of 20, allowing it to hold and utilize different thread colors concurrently. It is most commonly used to make embroidery patterns, with the more advanced machines able to trim and change colors automatically.
Exactly what it sounds like, this stitch zig-zags back and forth and is used on stretchy fabrics and to reinforce buttonholes.
This is a series of extremely close stitches that are used to reinforce garment areas subject to stress or additional wear. Such areas usually include pocket openings, button holes, belt loops, fly openings, tucks, pleats and the corner of collars.
A small, four piece fastener-set that allows materials to be snapped together. Snaps are inserted into the material with either a manual kick press or automatic snap machine.
This sewing method uses a needle and thread to add intricate decorations to fabrics and other materials. There are various embroidery styles and techniques.
This is a type of flatlock-stitch that can be executed by a specialized machine, forming the thread into a flat, interlocking pattern, which is incredibly durable and comfortable against the skin. This type of stitch can be found on wetsuits, locking two pieces of neoprene together.
Skilled workers and specialized machines allow us to efficiently perform this stitch, which is used to sew tubular materials such as bags, handbags, wallets and shoes.
