A focused brief makes the first manufacturing conversation more useful. You do not need to have every answer, but it helps to separate the decisions you have made from the ones you still need to explore.
Describe your customer and product
Explain who the collection is for, the setting in which it will be worn and your preferred silhouettes. Include reference images with notes about what each image demonstrates: fit, fabric texture or construction, for example.
Prepare your branding assets
Supply artwork in a usable format. Include color references, logo dimensions and intended placements. Brand labels, size labels, care information and hangtags are separate components; make their requirements explicit.
Give a quantity and size breakdown
Your estimated total is useful, but a breakdown by style, color and size is more useful. Minimums and prices depend on the actual project. Ask for these details to be confirmed in the quotation rather than assuming a universal minimum.
Plan for sample approval
Budget time to evaluate a physical sample. Check measurements, fabric, trims, branding and finishing. Changes should be documented before approving bulk production.
Include packaging and destination
Explain how you want the garments folded and packed, and provide the destination country. Ask how shipping arrangements, costs and responsibilities will be recorded in your agreement.
