Factories need time to think about pricing

Choosing a factory and ordering production is always the first priority of fashion companies. However, those steps can´t be made it through if you don´t consider it carefully. There are some tips to expect when picking a factory and ordering production.

A factory representative would be willing to answer all your questions and would be happy to show you fabric sample, the services, times or references. Nonetheless, he would be quiet if it comes to pricing. It doesn´t mean they are silent to make you think that your price is ridiculous, it is difficult to process all this information without sewing it up first. Some factories need to complete one sample, calculate the payment for employees then they could bring down the final price.

Give them a little space.

Sample is important

I would highly recommend you to request samples for each design before running massive production. You would have the chance to take a look at quality and find out concerns. The technology might be magnificent but it goes with unexpected cases so that you need to make sure your factory and your expectation meet in half way for how the garment is assembled.

Thinking About Inventory

If you want to order higher quantities, factories will give the price break. In addiction, each machine needs to be set up for the functioning including adjusting the machines, cutting, changing the number etc. The more you order, the more you control the time across your run. That is the reason why samples are expensive because factories need to change all the set up everytime they make for another production.

Thus, it would be a bad idea if you start off your business with too much inventory which you can not completely sell all. Fashion moves quickly, plus internet, it moves quicker than a whistle. You need to manage your stock with new items, new trendies on a fairly regular basis. Sometimes, you sacrifice your margin but it is always better than sitting on faded trend inventory which makes you no money.
