More and more entrepreneurs and brands are choosing to outsource garment production to professional garment manufacturers. This approach reduces upfront costs and leverages the factory's large-scale production capabilities for rapid delivery. For example, if you need a custom jacket or custom sports jacket, working with a reliable jacket manufacturer can help you bring your design to market quickly. However, for newcomers, the process, pricing, quality control, and cooperation models of garment manufacturing can be quite confusing. This article will guide you through the key points of garment manufacturing from the ground up.
I. What is Garment OEM ?
In simple terms, garment manufacturing involves the brand (client) providing design drawings, sample garments, or process requirements, while the factory is responsible for procuring fabrics, cutting, sewing, ironing, packaging, and other production processes, delivering the finished product. The brand can focus solely on design and sales.
There are two common OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) models:
· OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing): The customer provides complete design drawings and detailed product photos for reference. The factory and the customer then discuss and determine the fabric and manufacturing process. Many private label clothing manufacturers operate under this model, allowing brands to put their own labels on products like a varsity jacket or sports jacket.
· ODM (Original Design Manufacturing): The factory has its own design team and pattern maker. Customers can directly select and modify existing styles from the factory, or the factory can assist in developing new styles.
For startups or small-batch orders, ODM is often more worry-free; for established brands with strict requirements on style and quality, OEM offers more control.
The second process will be discussed in the next article.
