01 · Define the application.
Specify the garment type, fabric weight and where the trims sit in the construction.
02 · Name the construction.
Threads, buttons, labels, elastic, fusing or packaging — one inquiry can cover several categories at once.
03 · Pin down the details.
Colour references, size ranges, finishes and any standards you must meet.
04 · State quantities and timing.
Quantities per variation matter more than one overall total — include target dates if you have them.
