Production Process
At AOEM, we manage every stage of production from development to final delivery. Our streamlined process ensures clear communication, consistent quality, and efficient turnaround times, allowing your products to move from concept to completion with confidence.
1. Consultation & Project Planning
Every project begins with understanding your vision, product requirements, branding details, quantities, and timeline. During this stage, we review all specifications to ensure a smooth production process and establish the best manufacturing approach for your project.
What We Review:
Product style and specifications
Materials and fabric requirements
Custom branding details
Quantity requirements
Production timeline
2. Design & Development
Once project details, pricing, and specifications have been finalized and payment has been received, our team prepares your artwork, logos, measurements, and production specifications. Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure all files are manufacturing-ready before sample development begins.
Includes:
Artwork review
Logo placement planning
Size and measurement specifications
Production file preparation
Design approval
3. Pre-Production Sample
After project approval and payment confirmation, a pre-production sample is created for review and approval. This allows you to evaluate the garment's fit, construction, materials, colors, and branding details before bulk manufacturing begins.
Estimated sample turnaround: Approximately 10 days
This stage helps ensure the final production run meets your expectations and provides an opportunity to make any necessary adjustments before moving forward with full production.
4. Bulk Production
Once the sample has been approved, full-scale production begins. Our manufacturing team oversees each stage to maintain consistency, accuracy, and quality throughout the order.
Estimated production time: Approximately 20 days
Production May Include:
Fabric cutting
Sewing and assembly
Application of logos and branding
Custom labels and tags
