Design, Vectorisation & Tech Pack

We support your project from the very first idea. We work out the design, vector files and tech pack with you at no surcharge: it is already included in the unit price of your order.

Many projects start without finished documents, with an idea, a photo or a garment that fits well. That is where we come in. Whether you want to develop a complete design with our team, only need a logo or embroidery motif as a clean vector file, or want a tech pack made from a reference article: we handle all of it for you.

This does not raise the price. Design work, vectorisation and the tech pack are included in the unit price, with no separate invoice. As usual, only samples and their shipping are charged. We tell you the cost in advance and credit the sample cost in full against the production order.

The finished artwork then becomes the manufacturer enquiry, the sample and the series. You keep the same contact as for sourcing, quality control and delivery, and everyone involved works from the same document.

Design development with our team

You bring an idea, a sketch, a mood board or examples you like. We work out the design with you: cut, colours, placement of print or embroidery, labels and details. We go through the drafts with you in rounds until the result is right.

Where it helps, we also show the draft as a 3D model. You see cut, colour and logo placement from every side before the first physical sample is made.

Vectorising logos and embroidery artwork

For printing and embroidery, the manufacturer needs clean vector data rather than a photo or a low-resolution file. We redraw logos, lettering and embroidery motifs as vector graphics, with clean outlines, defined colours and the right dimensions for placement on the article.

The factory gets an unambiguous template, and the same template serves later reorders.

Tech pack from your idea or a reference article

A tech pack is the technical description of your article: material and fabric weight, measurement chart and sizes, seams and workmanship, colours, print and embroidery positions, labels and packaging. If you have a garment whose cut or fit you like, we create the tech pack on that basis and work in your changes.

We only work with logos, trademarks or protected designs of other companies when we have the express permission of the rights holder. That is the case, for example, when you work as an agency or service provider on behalf of a brand and the brand has authorised you in writing to use its logo. Without that consent, we use none of it. The reference article then only provides fit, measurements and workmanship; the design and branding are your own.

Why this costs nothing extra

Good artwork saves time and money later: fewer sampling rounds, fewer questions and a clear reference for quality control by our team on site. That is why we do not charge separately for design, vectorisation and the tech pack. They are part of your production order, and your quotation stays the same as with finished documents.
