Manufacturing Your Clothing Line
You’ve got the designs ready, but now you need to turn them into reality. Manufacturing clothing can be one of the most important steps for anyone who wants their own Clothing Line. These will be used as samples for potential clients, and you can even start selling the garments straight away.
If you are handy with a sewing machine then by all means produce the clothes yourself. This way they will be one-of-a-kind, completely unique to you. However, once your business expands you will probably need some help in this area in order to produce more garments to sell. Hiring a clothing manufacturer is not difficult. You will simply hand them your detailed designs and instructions, and they will create the products based on your guidance.
There are many clothing manufacturers based locally and overseas. Many clothing line creators choose international manufacturers in order to save costs, but you might also want to go closer by if you know you can trust them. Fortunately there are now a number of internet resources that can advise about choosing a clothing manufacturer.
You also need to keep in mind your future needs. If you are printing t-shirts to start, can your manufacture do jeans and hoodies as well? Finding a business that can handle a variety of products and speciality printing techniques may be a good idea depending on what types of products you plan to produce later on.
Search locally, or search the registered database of manufacturers: just keep researching until you find one that can meet your needs. Once you’ve found your manufacturer, ask them as many questions as you need. Find out how long they will take and how much it costs. A little research now will go a long way when you first Start a Clothing Line!

Check out Fuel for Design for a complete guide to Starting a Clothing Line.
Have any of you ever bought clothes online from Baby Phat or some other clothing line?
I want to start a clothing line, but I don't know what I should ship the clothes in. What do those other clothing lines use to ship their clothes and apparel in? Do they use normal envelopes and boxes or do they ship in customized packages that carry their logo? Also, do they accept responsibility if items are lost during shipping?
I own a children's clothing store and typically, we ship clothing in a thick, plastic, opaque shipping envelope, you can get lots of good shipping stuff through www.uline.com .
If you ship via UPS or FedEx, there is an automatic insurance for items up to $100 and they offer tracking services. If you ship USPS, you can buy additional insurance, but they do not offer package tracking.
For my online customers, I take full responsibility for the item getting to them, as long as they have provided the correct shipping information and do not refuse the package. If UPS or Fedex loses the package, I can then track it, or file a claim with them for credit on damaged or lost packages. You can also use shipping services, like MailBoxes ets. who will take a percentage, but will follow up on the packages for you.
There is always a chance that you are going to lose money on lost or damaged items. There is always a chance, as well, that customers are not honest and take advantage-this is part of the risk that you assume as a retailer.
I don't sweat it. I just incorporate a certain amount of loss into my projected figures, as a regular cost of business-that way it isn't a whole emotional thing, when a customer files a claim.
I have a physical shop, a website and an amazon webstore, you can view it to get some ideas. www.rubberduckybaby.com
As for branding your packaging-I wouldn't waste a lot of money on it. You can always use inserts to remind people of your product and brand name, well placed stickers are great, but most of the companies that i deal with, do not customize their packaging-it can be very expensive, especially when you don't know what kind of traffic you will be getting and where to focus your initial buying. once everything is roling, then you can effectively brand what is working for you.
