Understanding Custom Manufacturing
Unlike traditional manufacturing, which involves making products in large quantities, custom manufacturing is dedicated to making products specifically to a customer’s specifications. This is especially helpful when you want to stick to your own brand, or when you want to sell to a niche market.
We specialize in creating custom products for you, like custom-made plus size bras, custom-made nursing bras, custom-made bodysuits, and anything else you need. Any product we create, we’ll create to your specifications.
The Benefits of Custom Manufacturing for B2B Clients
Custom manufacturing ensures you get exactly what you want, from the fabric to the final design, which can significantly increase the quality of what you sell and how happy your customers are.
If you sell something that no one else can sell, you’re going to stand out from everyone else when it comes to making sales and creating rabid fans who continue to buy from you.
Custom manufacturing gives you the ability to change and adjust what you sell as you see trends continuing to move and where you think they’re going to go in the future.
While it might look like you’re paying more for something upfront, custom manufacturing will save you money over time by reducing waste, lowering return rates, and creating a higher quality product overall.
How to Start with Custom Manufacturing
Getting started with custom manufacturing may seem intimidating, but it’s really not. Here are the steps to follow:
Identify Your Needs: Be crystal clear on what you’re trying to do with custom manufacturing. That might be a specific design, material, or production technique that you’re not able to get off the shelf.
Research Manufacturers: Find great manufacturers that can do custom work and have a track record. You’ll want to make sure they have certifications and standards like ISO9000, BSCI, OEKO, and others to make sure that they are good and you can rely on them.
Communicate Clearly: Be very clear with the manufacturer you pick by providing them samples, sketches, and a very good description of what you want.
Prototype and Test: Before you go into full-scale production, you want to make sure the product is exactly what you want. So you’ll usually build prototypes and test those.
Plan for Scale: Finally, once you’re happy with the prototypes, figure out what it’s going to take to go into full-scale production. You want to make sure the manufacturer you picked is going to hit deadlines and can do the volume that you need.
