HOW TO START MANUFACTURING

  1. Communicate your style requirements to us:

If you have tech pack for your style. Please forward it along with an introduction email to info@mecilla.com

If you don’t know what a tech pack is and don’t have one. Please complete our Style

It’s very important that we know what fabric you would like to make your style from. It’s highly advisable to purchase half metre swatches of fabric prior to style development so that you have a good understanding of each fabrics properties. You can download our fabric information HERE.

Development Proposal (SDP) form for each of your styles and email them to info@mecilla.com SDP form can be found and downloaded from our baidu forms folder HERE.

Please complete ALL the fields in the SDP form, giving us as much information as possible. This includes what your budget or cost price per garment expectation is. We will assess your SDP form and come back to you with any questions. We require a minimum order of 100 garments

for basic items and 300 garments for more complex items which can be broken up in a minimum ratio of 30 per colour/per size.

  1. Pattern Development:

We complete all our pattern development using StyleCad http://www.stylecad.com/In order to make your garment we need to be supplied with a pattern or we need to make your pattern for you. We will develop patterns from the information supplied in your SDP form or from your tech pack. We make your pattern (1 initial pattern) in the size of your choice.

  1. Preproduction sample (PPS):

When your pattern is complete we will make a physical pre-production sample. We will construct the garment to your specifications and selected fabric.

  1. Wash & Fit Test, Comments:

Once you have received your PPS. Wear it, wash it, dry it. Make sure it’s the right fit, weight, colour and finish. Do we need to add length? Do we need to reduce length? Is there anything not quite right? Is it absolutely perfect? What actual size are you going to call this PPS?

All of the answers to the above questions we refer to as ‘Comments’.

If it has passed all your quality tests. Please confirm that the PPS is approved and send it back to us for the next step.

  1. Pattern Grading

It is now the time to grade your pattern in the sizes you would like this style to be available in.

Increase/decrease the chest/bust width by 2.5cm etc for each size OR we will advise a rule set based on our experience for your style. Your styles grading is completed in and held on file in our StyleCad system.XXS,XS,M,L. We will grade your medium pattern down to XXS and XS and up to L in order to complete your SIZE RANGE. You can give us your own specific grading rules Ie:

  1. Trims

You need to organize and supply your own trims; this includes care labels, neck labels, leather patches, hem tags, swing tags, specific buttons, zippers etc. The Mecilla team can help you with basic trims such as woven labels, printed labels, heat transfer labels.

  1. Production & Delivery Timeline

Production is generally a 3-6 week turnaround depending on extra finishes/services required and also depending on our factory capacity at the time. Your garments will be made in either our China factory or one of our partners.When you have approved your PPS, we have completed your pattern development and have received your trims, we will confirm your production in a quote and then upon your order confirmation will lock your production into our schedule and confirm your delivery date.

THE SEWING PROCESSES REQUIRED TO MAKE A GARMENT

The above is an example of the number of sewing processes required for a good quality basic t-shirt. Every garment is different. Women’s fashion garments with raw edges may have less processes, baby garments generally require less processes for basic items but may need more for more complicated styles. The pricing on the following page will give you a guide of how we cost the manufacturing of garments in our factory.
