Apparel Sourcing & Coordination Services
A structured 10-stage coordination process connecting international fashion brands with vetted manufacturing partners across Bangladesh under rigorous on-the-ground supervision.
Independent, Buyer-Aligned Coordination
Stitch Crfts acts as your dedicated sourcing and technical management partner. Rather than owning every factory, we maintain production relationships with vetted, compliance-audited manufacturing facilities across Bangladesh—matching each garment line with the unit best equipped to produce it cleanly, on time, and within commercial targets.
From Concept & Costing to Final Port Dispatch
Every production order follows our disciplined milestone workflow to ensure quality consistency and protect buyer retail delivery dates.
Design & Tech Pack Review
We analyze sketches, tech packs, measurement charts, and bill of materials (BOM), identifying construction optimizations and fabric alternatives before sampling begins.
- Grading and sizing review for EU, US, and UK specifications
- Stitch type, seam margin, and tension recommendations
- Early identification of production bottlenecks
Fabric & Material Sourcing
Engaging with verified spinning, knitting, and weaving mills across Bangladesh to procure base fabrics, rib knits, linings, and certified trims.
- Custom lab dips and strike-offs under standard light sources
- Yarn composition verification and fabric GSM weight testing
- OEKO-TEX and GOTS certified trims, zippers, and buttons
Commercial Costing Transparency
Itemized cost sheets providing clear visibility across fabric consumption yields, CM (cut and make), laundry washes, testing fees, and FOB freight logistics.
- Marker planning and fabric consumption yield optimization
- Accurate currency and export freight projections
- Value-engineering options to achieve target retail price points
Sampling & Prototyping
Fast-turnaround sampling ensuring silhouettes, drape, measurement tolerances, and wash effects match buyer standards before bulk cutting.
- Proto samples, fit samples, and size sets
- Pre-production samples (PPS) in bulk fabric and approved trims
- Detailed fit comment tracking and revisions
Factory Matching & Allocation
Matching purchase orders with audited manufacturing partners whose specific floor setup, machine capability, and volume tier suit the product line.
- Dedicated units for circular knit, woven, denim, and flat knits
- Verification of active social audits (BSCI, SEDEX/SMETA, WRAP)
- Capacity reservation synchronized with retail delivery windows
Pre-Production & Line Setup
Formal commercial contracts, PO issuance, and pre-production meetings (PPM) with factory floor managers, technical heads, and cutting masters.
- Critical path calendar established with weekly milestones
- Pilot-run sewing review to calibrate machine settings
- Formal PPM sign-off between buyer guidelines and factory teams
Production Follow-Up & Monitoring
Our Dhaka merchandising team physically visits partner factories to monitor cutting yields, daily line output, and critical path milestone compliance.
- Raw material in-house reconciliation against ordered quantities
- Daily line output tracking against delivery schedules
- Proactive escalation and resolution of production variances
Washing & Garment Finishing
Coordinating industrial garment washes, enzyme treatments, ozone fading, and softening treatments with specialized laundry units.
- Ozone bleaching and laser abrasion for denim washes
- Shade-band approvals and wash shrinkage verification
- Hand-feel and softening calibrations to buyer swatches
Quality Checkpoints & Lab Testing
Multi-stage inspections and laboratory testing covering color fastness, shrinkage, seam strength, and final AQL 1.5 / 2.5 pre-shipment audits.
- Dimensional stability and chemical safety testing
- Random sampling audit following ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 tables
- Comprehensive digital inspection dossier issued for buyer release
Packaging & Export Logistics
Supervising final carton packaging, barcode scanning, moisture protection, forwarder handover, container stuffing, and export documentation.
- Carton drop-testing and polybag warning compliance
- Export documentation: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, GSP / Form A
- Vessel tracking to Chittagong Port (FOB) or Dhaka Airport (air freight)
