*CONNECTING TRENDS TO PORT*
PRE-PRODUCTION
Product manufacturing at Trendport goes beyond design and production; it begins with a meticulous and strategic pre-production phase. This critical stage is where initial concepts take shape and all necessary preparations are made to transform ideas into reality.
During the pre-production phase, we finalize designs, prepare for material sourcing and manufacturing, and conduct rigorous quality assurance tests. We also secure essential materials and meticulously plan the production process to ensure efficiency and precision.
This stage serves as the foundation for the entire production process. We carefully evaluate every element, including fabric, trims, supply chains, and applications, while optimizing key factors such as fit, grading, and overall design execution.
Leveraging our extensive global network, we focus on resource optimization, strategic decision-making, and thorough planning. This involves finalizing production orders, determining material quantities and costs, and refining all logistical elements to ensure a seamless production phase.
Such detailed preparation during pre-production ensures a smooth transition to manufacturing, delivering the high quality, precision, and reliability that Trendport’s clients expect and trust.

WHY IS TECH PACK IS IMPORTANT?
-
Saving time & money: A tech pack is crucial for your product as it ensures the garment produced during the sample stages and final production aligns with your precise specifications, minimizing errors. As you begin working with a manufacturer, you'll likely review various sample sets to confirm satisfaction with the end product. The tech pack guarantees that these samples meet your exact requirements, preventing unnecessary time and expense in reproducing incorrect versions.
-
Cost of the garment: the details within a tech pack will help the manufacturer to determine the cost per unit as they can breakdown the cost for each component that you’ve asked for. It will also help the manufacturer to know how long it will take to make depending on the complexity of the product and the finishes required. Using your tech pack will allow you to compare costs from different manufacturers as you can accurately see the breakdown they are charging you.
-
Quality control: tech packs are also key to ensuring quality control and consistent sizing across your range. A good tech pack will detail the measurements you need for each size to ensure you are delivering the best product for your customers.
-
Security: It's common to establish a contract detailing the relationship and responsibilities between you and the manufacturer. It's essential to include a clause stating that all orders and shipments should conform precisely to the final approved "golden" sample's specifications. This way, if there are any unsolicited variations or changes to the product (in fabrics, trims, measurements, etc.), the manufacturer would be held accountable and could potentially face penalties.
