FAQs
What is a "Tech Pack" and why is it so important?
A Tech Pack (Technical Specification Package) is the complete blueprint for your product. It contains all construction details, measurements, materials, and production notes. It is the single most critical document that ensures your product is made correctly, consistently, and cost-effectively every time.
Can you help us design with sustainable/recycled materials?
Absolutely. Sustainability is a core focus. We actively source and design using materials like organic cotton, recycled polyester (rPET), TENCEL™, and BCI cotton, providing full supply chain transparency.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQs vary significantly based on the complexity of the product and the materials chosen. We will advise on the optimal MOQ during the Concept & Strategy phase to balance cost efficiency with your business needs.
How does Thread Vision ensure the quality and fit of my custom apparel across all sizes?
Achieving consistent fit and quality is paramount. We use professional digital Pattern Grading after the initial sample is perfected, ensuring that the proportions and fit scale correctly across your entire size range. Our process includes multiple fit sessions and detailed measurement specifications in the Tech Pack. Furthermore, our dedicated Quality Control teams monitor production using the final, approved Pre-Production Sample (PPS) as the definitive benchmark for every single unit.
What is the typical timeline for the Custom Apparel & Product Design process?
The design process duration depends on the product’s complexity and the number of refinement rounds required. Generally, the timeline is as follows:
- Concept & Strategy (Phase 1): 1–2 weeks
- Technical Design & Prototyping (Phase 2): 3–5 weeks
- Refinement & Finalization (Phase 3): 2–4 weeks (depending on sample revisions)
- Total Estimated Design Time: 6–11 weeks to deliver a fully production-ready Tech Pack and approved sample, positioning your product for immediate manufacturing.
If I already have a design sketch or a physical sample, can Thread Vision still help?
Absolutely. If you have an existing design, we offer Design Optimization and Reverse Engineering services. We take your sketch or physical sample and turn it into a professional, scalable Tech Pack, ensuring all specifications are up to global manufacturing standards, and optimizing the construction for better quality and cost-efficiency before proceeding to sampling and production.
