Full Package Production

What Is  Full Factored Production ?

74. Full Package Production(FPP) means that the clothing factory supply everything for you. The FPP clothing  manufacturer will help with the design process, source  fabrics and trims, make the tech packs, patterns, toiles and samples, grade the patterns, and provide the final production.

Although more expensive than CMT, full package manufacturing  may seem ideal for many startup brands. You will save massive amounts of time, but you will sacrifice full  hands on control.

 

Tech Packs.

To give you some degree of control it is essential to use a professionally designed tech pack, especially if manufacturing abroad. Although the factory could create the tech pack for you, Before you go ahead with your chosen factory, you need to ensure that you have a good tech pack to minimise risks, and to ensure that everything is made exactly as you want it to be.  If you need more information  just check our  Tech Pack Design page.

 

Fashion Startups.

If you are a fashion startup, and are desperately looking for some basic information before committing yourself, then our very popular  fashion startup workshop should prove immensely beneficial, and save you a whole load of potential problems.

 

Design Assistance.

The design process is the first stage in the production of your garments. While some clients will know exactly what designs  they want,  how they want them made, and in what fabrics, others will  have just a rough sketch with a general idea. They will have a design in mind, but know little of how to achieve it.

Your design sketches will have to be transformed into fully specced technical sketches that can be translated into a finished garment  by the pattern cutter.

 

Fabric And Trim Sourcing.

Fabric and trim sourcing is a valuable service and should save you endless hours trying to do it yourself. It is hard enough trying to find fabric and trim suppliers willing to deal with small startups, without having to find affordable materials.

 

Pattern Cutting.

The factory pattern cutters will cut a pattern to represent your design from the information given to them. As the pattern is an extremely important part of the whole process, it is vital that the pattern cutter is experienced in your chosen genre.

Sample Development.

The first sample will be made from the pattern provided by the pattern cutter. You need to aim to get this right first time by supplying the factory with plenty of information. Otherwise you may need a second, or a third sample. This is where the tech pack shows its importance.

Grading.

Grading is only carried out when the first pattern and sample are finalised. The sizing will be decided following consultation with the client. You need to be sure that the pattern is perfect before grading.

Trusted UK Factories.

Your choice of factory is vitally important. You need to choose  a manufacturer that you can trust to produce your designs accurately and speedily. The best FPP factories in the UK are always very busy, and they are few and far between.

Offshore FPP Manufacturers.

Generally, off-shore clothing factories offer a FPP  service. It can be very tempting for startups to opt for full package production from foreign factories, as  everything is done  for you, and it  can be far cheaper too.

Dont be tempted without weighing up the options very carefully, as you will very probably get burnt if you dont employ some expert  UK help.

If you are a little more experienced in running a fashion business and you are looking for bigger production runs, then this can be an option, but even then we would suggest only doing so with professional guidance.

We would of course, be happy to assist if you were considering going  this route. We can advise whether it is a viable option, and we can assist if you decide to opt for foreign production.

 

 FPP In The UK.

There are few clothing factories offering Full Package Production in the UK

through our partners. It  is a great option for most startups. Although it does cost a little more, it saves you hours and hours of trying to find the fabrics yourself. we can probably source better fabrics at a cheaper price  than you could do yourself, so this would help offset the cost of sourcing the materials for you.

We would of course consult extensively with you to make sure that we obtain the best materials at the best price possible.
