2. Explore Thygesen’s sustainable T-shirt manufacturing process
To provide the best experience for our customers, we’ve created a simple and convenient process for working together.
Step 1: Handle Customer’s Inquiry
Start by sending us your inquiry with detailed project information: tech packs, design sketches, estimated order quantity, fabric preferences, and any specific requirements. Once received, we assign a dedicated team to manage your project, ensuring smooth and efficient communication throughout.
Step 2: Make Quotation
Our sales team collaborates closely with sourcing to create a tailored quotation based on your needs. We leverage a broad network of certified suppliers locally and globally, focusing on quality, capability, and ethical compliance. After your approval, we provide a clear timeline for sampling and bulk production to keep your launch on track.
Step 3: Sample Development
Using your tech packs, sketches, or concept references, our skilled pattern makers create precise patterns for fabric cutting and garment assembly. Our experienced sample makers craft samples that meet your expectations and are suitable for mass production feasibility. >> This meticulous process highlights our strength as a cut and sew manufacturer, ensuring every detail from pattern to final stitch meets the highest quality standards.
Step 4: Bulk Production
Production takes place in our own SA8000 and WRAP certified factory. We begin with Lab Dips to test fabric quality and confirm they meet your specifications. Upon approval, we produce the Pre-Production (PP) Sample, an exact representation of the final product to verify all details and construction before mass manufacturing.
Step 5: Quality Control
We apply AQL standards tailored to your product and requirements to maintain consistent quality throughout production. Third-party quality inspections are also welcome to provide additional assurance if requested.
Step 6: Packaging & Shipping
Once quality checks are complete, products are carefully packed to ensure safety during transit. We arrange bulk shipping by air or sea according to your preferences and timelines.
3. Strategic Compliance: Meeting Strict EU Sustainability Mandates
For brands aiming at the European market, compliance is non-negotiable. Our holistic approach to sustainability is engineered to proactively meet upcoming EU regulations, offering our partners a competitive advantage:
- Preparing for the Digital Product Passport (DPP): Our rigorous traceability system and certified sourcing (GRS, GOTS) ensure detailed data collection from raw material to finished garment. This systematic approach prepares your product information to align with the EU’s forthcoming DPP requirements, guaranteeing transparency across the value chain.
- Mitigating Greenwashing Risk (Green Claims Directive): By providing globally recognized, audited certifications (SA8000, WRAP, OEKO-TEX), we help brands make credible and data-substantiated claims about their T-shirts, protecting them from the scrutiny of the EU’s Green Claims Directive.
