Introduction
Streetwear is no longer just a trend. It's a global culture. But behind every oversized hoodie or distressed tee lies a clear process: Idea → Sample → Bulk → Delivery. Many upcoming brand owners struggle at these steps, leading to delays, wasted money, or low-quality products.
In this guide, we'll break down each stage with actionable insights, industry examples, and practical advice.
1. From Idea to Tech-Pack
Your idea needs structure. A good tech pack includes:
- Fabric type (e.g., 380 GSM fleece vs. 240 GSM jersey)
- Fit reference (oversized, cropped, slim)
- Customization details (puff print, embroidery, rhinestones, patches)
- Size chart
Tip: Tools like Adobe Illustrator or CLO3D can help create precise tech packs.
2. The Sample Stage
Samples are your first reality check. This step:
- Validates your fit & fabric
- Tests your print/embroidery details
- Allows changes before bulk
💡 Pro Insight:** Always order at least one pre-production sample. It might add a week, but it saves months of regret.
3. Bulk Production
Once the sample is locked:
- Cutting & stitching teams work in batches.
- Printing & embroidery move to in-house machines.
- Finishing includes QC, pressing, packaging, and labeling.
⚡ Efficiency** comes from batch handling. For example, 50 hoodies in bulk cost less per piece than 20, because labor + shipping costs spread across more units.
4. Shipping & Delivery
Shipping is often overlooked. With express shipping (4–6 days worldwide), brands can launch faster, but costs are higher. Ocean freight lowers costs but takes 30–45 days.
📌 Resource:** Check FedEx International Priority vs. UPS Worldwide Saver for comparisons.
5. Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping samples → leads to bulk mistakes.
- Wrong GSM choice → too heavy/light for market.
- Ignoring shipping costs → reduces profit margins.
- No clear branding → product feels generic.
