Full Package Production

What Is  Full Factored Production (FPP ) ?

(017). FPP, or Full Package Production means that the factory supply everything for you. The factory will help with the design process, will source  fabrics and trims, make the patterns, toiles and samples, grade the patterns, then provide the production.

This will of course, be more expensive than CMT, and you will not have full  hands on control, but you will save massive amounts of time.

 

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.

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.

Sampling.

The first sample will be made from the pattern provided by the pattern cutter.

Grading.

Grading is only carried out when the first pattern and sample are finalised. The sizing will be decided following consultation with the client.

Trusted Factories.

Your choice of factory is vitally important. You need to trust a manufacturer that you can trust to produce your designs accurately and speedily.

Offshore FPP.

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. But dont be tempted without weighing up the options very carefully, as you will very probably get burnt.

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.
