We are a textile professional product development service for the apparel and non-apparel sewn goods industry. Unlike other services available to our industry, we provide COMPLETE services of production . Our broad range extends from concept to storyboards, first patterns to production ready markers, and original samples to small production lots. Our business is to furnish you the entire package. However, if you ask us to do only a small portion of your program, we will ask the appropriate questions to ensure our portion will fit intoyour total picture. Our thorough interactive approach will prevent you costly mistakes, which can occur from common lack of communication between contractors.
We understand manufacturing. We guarantee our work.
“For most people, a T-shirt is just a T-shirt but here at StepArt we’ve got a few years of experience under our belts and we assure you that producing a T-shirt is a lot more complex than you would think. It requires special attention to combine both a good cut and a nice feel, something that lasts, with pure colours, not forgetting the detail and quality workmanship. we develop a specific mesh for our T-shirts and sweatshirts, a cut that respects our own measurement tables, specific colours depending on what you / we desire and last but not least, specific details that represent our brand name. We make regular visits to our manufacturers not only to develop new products but also to monitor and improve the quality of our current collections”.
All textiles are made up of fibres that are arranged in different ways to create the desired strength, durability, appearance and texture. The fibres can be of countless origins, but can be grouped into four main categories. Natural fibres, with the exception of silk, have a relatively short fibre length, measured in centimetres. Silk and man-made fibres have on the other hand very long fibre lengths (filaments) ranging from hundreds of metres to kilometres long.
Plant fibres consists of cellulosic material, normally derived from cotton, linen, hemp or bamboo, but more or less any plant with extractable cellulose can be used. Cotton is by far the most commonly used plant fibre and the cultivation of cotton is enormously resource-intensive, with high inputs of water, pesticides, insecticides and fertilisers leaving a large toxic footprint where grown, if not cultivated organically or under specific sustainable conditions.
Animal fibres consist of proteins. Wool and silk are the most commonly used fibres from this group, but the wool can come from a number of different animals. In order to make animals grow faster and produce higher yields of wool, pesticides and insecticides are used to prevent disease. Dipping is a common practice to control parasites in sheep farming, making use of both organic phosphates as well as synthetic pyrethroid. After the wool fibres have been sheared they are treated with chemicals during the scouring and washing process.
Man-made fibres such as viscose (rayon) or lyocell are based on cellulosic raw material, normally from wood pulp. They are heavily treated with chemicals before the new fibre is spun. The whole process of producing fibres from wood pulp is very resource-intensive, involving the use of several hazardous substances.
Synthetic fibres are made from monomers sourced from fossil oil feedstocks, which are subsequently polymerised into different fibres. Given all the possible monomers that can be made from a synthetic feedstock, the possible combinations are endless. However the most common synthetic fibre is polyester, followed by polyamide, polyacrylic and aramide. Depending on the monomer used to produce the fibre, an endless number of chemicals may be used in the process. For some of the synthetic fibres such as polyester, dyeing can be accomplished already when the fibre is manufactured.

For example: “CMT” (Cut, Make & Trim). What does it mean?
If you buy any sewn products in Portugal , read this post and you might learn something relevant about your suppliers.
Quick overview of the steps of garment production:
Basically, there are three ways suppliers can be organized:
But why outsourcing only certain activities? And which ones?
Let’s simplify the steps of the production of a batch of garments.
Why keeping certain steps in house?
Suppliers try to keep their hand on development and purchasing:
One step is usually outsourced under CMT terms: “cut”. It requires a large room, some specialized equipment, and a few experienced technicians. However, if properly managed, the benefits of keeping cutting in-house can be huge.
First, fabrics and accessories can be controlled as soon as they are received, and before it is cut. I am certain that, when the “cut” job is done by the sewing workshop, these inputs are checked in a small minority of cases. Why should the workshop care about it?
Second, the unused fabric is kept aside (the leftover of fabric is sometimes the main source of profit on an order, and of course the unused fabric is never declared by the workshop when cutting it subcontracted).
Third, an investment in automatic cutting equipment can help save on fabric consumption. The payback period might be less than a year!
The last two activities are always subcontracted under CMT terms:
What are the risks for the importer?
The main downside of this supply-chain structure is that the workshop is the weakest element of the network. It is replaced quite easily. It has to bid a low price to get business, so it needs to rush production to make a small profit. In China 99% of garment factories have the same organization, so lower costs are only achieved with unskilled labor, long hours and minimal QC. Exactly what buyers should avoid!
Actually, the sewing workshop should be at the center of the supply chain:
