Production & Capacity

Answers to common questions about production volumes, lead times, and manufacturing capacity.

What are your minimum order quantities (MOQs)?

We offer flexible production based on the stage of your product.

  • 50–100 units for new product launches
  • 200–500 units for established products
  • 500–1,000+ units for growing brands

Our standard MOQ begins at 200 units, with up to 3 colours per style.

What is your monthly production capacity?

We typically manufacture 500–5,000 units per month, depending on product complexity and styles.

Can you scale production as demand grows?

Yes. We support both specialized and mid-scale production, with larger orders scheduled in multiple production batches when required.

What are your typical lead times?

Most projects follow a structured 12–24 week development and production schedule, including design, sourcing, sampling, production, quality control, and shipping.

Typical timelines shown below are approximate. Many stages occur concurrently, and total project timelines vary depending on product complexity, material availability, approvals, and shipping requirements.

Stage Typical Timeline
Design 2–4 weeks
Material Sourcing 2–4 weeks
Tech Packs 1–3 weeks
Sampling 2–3 weeks
Prototype & Fitting 2–4 weeks
Production Planning 1–2 weeks
Bulk Manufacturing 6–10 weeks
Quality Control & Testing 1–2 weeks
Packaging & Shipping 1–4 weeks

How quickly can repeat orders be completed?

If materials are already available and no redevelopment is required, repeat or top-up orders are typically completed within 4–6 weeks.

Sampling & Development

Learn more about our product development process, sampling services, and prototype approvals.

Do you offer product development and sampling?

Yes. We offer complete product development services, from initial concepts and technical specifications through prototype development and production-ready samples.

How many sample revisions are included?

Most projects include 1–2 rounds of sampling and revisions. Additional sample rounds can be completed as needed and are quoted separately based on the scope of changes.

How long does sampling take?

Sample development is typically completed within 1–2 weeks, depending on the complexity of the product, material availability, and the number of revisions required.

Do you provide pattern making and grading?

Yes. We offer in-house pattern making and grading, including large-format marker printing. We’re also happy to collaborate with your internal design team or external designers to integrate seamlessly into your development process.

Can you work from our existing tech packs?

Absolutely. We can manufacture from your existing tech packs and specifications, or assist in creating or refining them if needed. Our goal is to ensure every product is fully documented before production begins.

Materials & Sourcing

We work with a global network of trusted suppliers while remaining flexible to support your preferred materials and sourcing requirements.

Can you source fabrics and trims?

Yes. We can source a wide range of fabrics, trims, and components through our established supplier network, or manufacture using client-supplied materials through either Cut, Make & Trim (CMT) or Full Package Production (FPP).

Can we supply our own materials?

Absolutely. Many clients choose to provide their own fabrics, trims, labels, or packaging, and we’re happy to incorporate them into the production process.

Do you offer sustainable materials?

Yes. We work with a variety of organic, recycled, and certified fabrics, and can recommend material options based on your product requirements and sustainability goals.

Can you work with our preferred suppliers?

Yes. While we have long-standing relationships with mills and suppliers in Canada, the United States, and overseas, we’re equally happy to work with your existing suppliers, design agencies, product development firms, and other manufacturing partners. We regularly integrate with our clients’ existing teams and supply chains to provide a seamless production process.

What is the difference between CMT and Full Package Production?

We offer both manufacturing models to support clients at different stages of product development:

  • Cut, Make & Trim (CMT): You provide the fabrics, trims, patterns, and technical specifications, and we manufacture the finished products.
  • Full Package Production (FPP): We manage the entire process, including product development, material sourcing, technical specifications, manufacturing, quality control, and packaging.

Whether you’re working independently or alongside a design agency, product development firm, or sourcing partner, we’re happy to integrate with your existing team and tailor our services to your project requirements.

Quality Assurance

Quality is built into every stage of the production process, from initial specifications through final inspection.

How do you ensure product quality?

We perform quality control throughout the manufacturing process, including in-line inspections during production and a final quality inspection before packaging and shipment. Every product is manufactured to the approved specifications and quality standards established at the start of the project.

Do you require tech packs?

Yes. We require detailed tech packs or product specifications for all production runs to ensure accuracy, consistency, and repeatability. If you don’t already have a tech pack, our team can assist with creating one during the development process.

How are production samples approved?

Production begins only after the final sample has been reviewed and approved by the client. This helps ensure the finished product meets expectations for fit, construction, materials, colours, and overall quality.

Do you inspect products before shipping?

Yes. Every production run undergoes a final quality inspection before packaging and shipment to verify workmanship, sizing, quantities, and overall product quality.

Compliance & Certifications

We are committed to ethical manufacturing, product safety, regulatory compliance, and responsible business practices.

Do you follow ethical labour and workplace standards?

Yes. As a Canadian company, we operate in accordance with Canadian labour laws and workplace standards. We are committed to providing a safe, respectful workplace, offering competitive wages, salaried positions where appropriate, and employee benefits. We believe investing in our team is essential to delivering consistent quality, long-term expertise, and reliable service to our clients.
