Custom Activewear

Strategic Planning for Private-Label Success: – Product Type Planning: Define your core categories, from high-compression leggings to moisture-wicking performance tops. – Fabric & Trim Selection: Source materials based on GSM, stretch recovery, and durability requirements. – Tech Pack Preparation: Develop comprehensive blueprints to serve as a technical contract with your manufacturer. – Sampling & Fit Approval: Execute a rigorous review process of prototypes to ensure silhouette and performance accuracy. – Bulk Production Readiness: Finalize all quality control standards and logistics before committing to large-scale runs. Product Types We Help Plan Successful manufacturing starts with category-specific technical requirements. Brands should prepare the following specifications for each product type: – Leggings and Yoga Pants: Focus on waistband height, compression levels, and squat-proof opacity. – Sports Bras: Define support levels (low/medium/high), cup construction, and strap elasticity. – Training Tops and Tank Tops: Specify moisture-wicking properties, seam placement for mobility, and breathability. – Shorts and Skorts: Detail inseam lengths, liner construction, and pocket placement. – Jackets and Hoodies: Plan for zipper quality, weight, and weather-resistant finishes. – Athleisure Sets: Ensure color consistency across different fabric weights and matching [Size Charts](https://activewearspecs.com/size-charts/). Custom Activewear Specification Checklist Before contacting a manufacturer, sourcing teams should have the following data points finalized: – Target Customer & Market: Define the end-use (e.g., high-intensity training vs. lifestyle). – Size Range: Establish the grading scale (e.g., XXS–3XL). – Fit Style: Compression, slim fit, or oversized. – Fabric Composition & GSM: Refer to our [Fabric Guides](https://activewearspecs.com/fabric-guides/) for technical material standards. – Stretch & Compression Level: Specify 4-way stretch requirements. – Colorways & Print Placement: Pantone codes and artwork positioning. – Logo Method: Heat transfer, embroidery, or silicone print. – Labels, Trims & Packaging: Heat-press labels, hangtags, and sustainable polybags. – Order Quantity: Estimated units per size/color (MOQ). – Sampling Timeline: Expected dates for proto, fit, and PP samples. Sampling & Fit Approval Process Navigating the sampling phase is critical to ensuring bulk production matches your brand standards: 1. Initial Specification Review: Aligning your [Tech Pack](https://activewearspecs.com/templates/) with the factory’s capabilities. 2. First Sample Development: Creating the initial prototype to test design and construction. 3. Fit Sample Comments: Reviewing the garment on a model and providing precise adjustment notes. 4. Fabric & Trim Confirmation: Finalizing the hand-feel, [GSM](https://activewearspecs.com/fabric-guides/), and hardware quality. 5. Pre-Production (PP) Sample Approval: The final sign-off on a sample made with bulk materials. 6. Final Bulk Production Checklist: Verifying all standards before the factory begins the full run.
