What Are Steps From Idea to Finished Garment?

Our clients often ask us about if Greco Apparel helps entrepreneurs launch their apparel line so we wanted to record a short video to explain our experience going from idea to finished garment in the apparel industry.

There are numerous steps from idea to brining idea to fruition as a finished garment. Some of these steps include: selecting style, choosing type of fabric, colors, quantity, any design features, determine what product category making, and expense considerations.

The question for apparel entrepreneurs to ask is “what are you trying to market?” The easiest way is to work backwards to deliver profitably in line with marketplace. Does the entrepreneur have a name brand label where people pay extra for brand or special design?

What Are Digitized and Graded Patterns?

Our clients often ask us about if Greco Apparel uses digitized and graded patterns so we wanted to record a short video to explain our experience manufacturing using digitized and graded patterns.

Digitized and graded patterns acre created using a cad cam system. Patterns are input into software system using computer screen, much like an architecture program that an architect would use. This allows pattern maker to shape and size garment. Since these files are digital, the files can be sent anywhere in world to someone who has capability to open up file.

What Is a Tech Pack?

Our clients often ask us about if Greco Apparel can help create tech packs so we wanted to record a short video to explain our experience with tech packs for over 60 years.

A Tech Pack is a set of information and instructions, which include: photo or sketch of garment, type of material and trim items used, size specifications, placement of labels and tags. Even how to fold and put garment in poly bag are included in all instructions to manufacture effectively inside the tech pack.

There are different cultures and languages even in the United States, so having visual and clear instructions help eliminate future mistakes and misunderstandings at all stages in the manufacturing process.
