Full Package vs Cut Make Trim Production

When you arrange manufacturing, you will meet two common models, full package production and cut make trim. They differ in how much of the process the maker handles, and understanding them helps you choose the arrangement that fits your capability.

Here is how full package and cut make trim production compare.

Two Manufacturing Arrangements

The difference is scope. In full package production, the maker handles almost everything, including sourcing materials. In cut make trim, you supply the materials and the maker only cuts, sews and finishes. One is comprehensive, the other is focused on assembly.

It comes down to who sources and manages what.

What Full Package Means

Full package production means the maker, or a partner, takes on sourcing, development support, making and often more, delivering finished garments from your designs. It suits brands that want a managed, hands off process, which is the model behind our fashion production services.

You hand over a design and receive finished garments.

What Cut Make Trim Means

In cut make trim, you source and supply the fabric and trims, and the maker simply cuts, makes and trims the garment. It gives you control over materials but requires you to manage sourcing and much of the process yourself.

It offers control at the cost of more work on your side.

Which Is Right for You

If you have sourcing capability and want control, cut make trim can work. If you want a managed process, full package is usually better. Start with our guide to creating your own collection or reach us through our contact page.
