OUR PROCESS AND SERVICES

THE LIFE CYCLE OF A GARMENT IN THREE PHASES

WE OFFER FULL-SERVICE PRODUCT CREATION AND CAN TAKE YOUR PROJECT FROM START TO FINISH

INDIVIDUAL SERVICES AVAILABLE TO HELP WHERE YOU NEED IT MOST

PHASE ONE

PLANNING

YOUR VISION

PLANNING IS THE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL. KNOWING YOUR BRAND IDENTITY, UNDERSTANDING YOUR OVERALL BRAND VISION AND HAVING METHODS TO SHOW YOUR PRODUCTS TO YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE IMPORTANT TO STRATEGIZE FROM THE START.

YOUR DESIGN

WE CAN HELP CREATIVELY AND STRATEGICALLY PLAN YOUR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TO SUPPORT YOU IN MAKING DESIGN DECISIONS THAT WILL HELP LEAD TO A SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION.

YOUR PATH FORWARD

EACH BRAND HAS A UNIQUE PATH TO SUCCESS, AND CREATING THAT ROADMAP IS WHAT WE DO BEST. IN OUR CONSULTATIONS, WE FOCUS ON YOUR GOALS, YOUR BRAND AND PRODUCTS AND STRATEGIZE WITH YOU TO FORMULATE THE BEST PATH FORWARD.

SERVICES INCLUDE: BRAND IDENTITY CREATION • DESIGN SERVICES • SKETCHING • LINE PLANNING • FABRICATION • COSTING • CALENDAR PLANNING • LOGO DESIGN • GRAPHIC DESIGN • BRAND. COACHING.

PHASE TWO

DEVELOPMENT

THE PRE-PRODUCTION PROCESS IS WHAT WE CALL DEVELOPMENT. THE FOLLOWING STEPS LEAD OUR CLIENTS TO SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION. EACH BRAND AND STYLE HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE CUSTOM-MADE ROADMAP THAT TAKES THEM THROUGH DEVELOPMENT.

SOURCING

THE FIRST STEP IN DEVELOPING YOUR VISION IS SOURCING YOUR FABRICS AND TRIMS. OUR SOURCING LIBRARY IS EXTENSIVE AFTER OVER A DECADE OF DOMESTIC MANUFACTURING AND SOURCING. TAKE OUT THE GUESS WORK! WE CAN CONNECT YOU WITH THE BEST SHORT-RUN FABRIC AND TRIM SUPPLIERS.

TECH PACKS

TECH PACKS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR ALL PROFESSIONAL MANUFACTURERS AND ARE ESSENTIALLY THE “BLUEPRINTS” OF CLOTHING DESIGN. PLANNING EACH DETAIL OF A STYLE BEFORE YOU START PATTERNING/SAMPLING TAKES OUT THE GUESS WORK AND GIVES YOUR TEAM THE GUIDES THEY NEED FOR ACCURACY.

PATTERN MAKING

WE DRAFT AND DRAPE PATTERNS USING TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE FIRST PROTOTYPE, EMBRACING THE TRADITIONAL METHODS OF DESIGN. ONCE A PATTERN IS APPROVED FOR FIT AND CONSTRUCTION, WE DIGITIZE IT INTO OUR CAD SYSTEM USING GERBER ACCUMARK.

SAMPLING

A PROTOTYPE IS THE FIRST SAMPLE THAT YOU MAKE AND IT IS USED TO CALCULATE COST, PLAN PRODUCTION, FINALIZE PRODUCTION PRICING, FIT, AND TO FINALIZE CONSTRUCTION DETAILS AND QUALITY.

FITTING

FIT IS SO IMPORTANT! WHEN YOU HAVE A PROTOTYPE MADE, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS IS TO HAVE A FITTING AND GIVE ACCURATE DIRECTION TO YOUR TEAM. NOT COMFORTABLE HAVING YOUR OWN FITTING? WE CAN HELP!

GRADING AND TESTING

ONCE A FINAL PROTOTYPE IS APPROVED, IT IS THEN TIME TO GRADE YOUR PATTERN INTO ALL THE SIZES THAT YOU WISH TO OFFER. TESTING EACH SIZE WITH A PATTERN ENSURES YOUR FIT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT FOR EACH OF YOUR DIVERSE CUSTOMERS.

CUSTOM PRE-PRODUCTION CHECKLIST

HAVING A CUSTOM CHECKLIST IS THE BEST WAY TO ENSURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING SET BEFORE PLACING YOUR PRODUCTION ORDER.

PHASE THREE

PRODUCTION

WE STRIVE FOR THE BEST QUALITY USA PRODUCTION AND WE WORK HARD TO GIVE OUR CLIENTS JUST THAT. FOLLOW OUR CUSTOM STEP-BY-STEP PRE-PRODUCTION GUIDE, AND WE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH OUR BEST WORK.

BY USING MFP YOU ARE CHOOSING ETHICAL MANUFACTURING WITH STRICT QUALITY CONTROL AS PRIORITY. OUR TEAM OF PRODUCTION SPECIALISTS ARE HIGHLY SKILLED AND HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO ENSURE TOP QUALITY.

PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT IS ANOTHER OPTION OUR CLIENTS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF. WE HAVE A NETWORK OF MIDWEST USA PARTNERS WHO HAVE A VAST ARRAY OF PRODUCTION SPECIALTIES. UNDER OUR STRICT QUALITY CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT, WE HAVE SEEN OUR CLIENTS GET EXCELLENT QUALITY WITH SMALLER LEAD TIMES.

OUR PRODUCTION MINIMUM IS 25 PIECES PER SKU AND WE WILL BOOK UP TO 300 UNITS PER STYLE RUN FOR IN-HOUSE ORDERS. ORDERS OVER 300 ARE ACCEPTED AS WELL, AND ARE DONE BY PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT.
