Trim and fabric sourcing and supplies to factories:

The process begins when we plug your concept into our fabric and trim network which has been developed over the last 19 years. We help make your selection from the vendors that can meet your target cost. When existing fabrics won't do, Unicode's staff has the expertise to help you create your own specialty fabrics. We'll then present trial weaves, strike offs, lab dips and sample yardage runs - making certain that every element is within the specification and timeline. Our services include; fabric and trim sourcing and management and development, trial weaves, strikeoffs and lab dips.

Our merchandisers keep samples and up-to-date information about the materials and trims available on the local market. They can immediately organize supply and delivery upon request.

We have built strong working relationships to develop a team of suppliers specializing in different areas. This allows us to source the majority of fabrics, materials and accessories within Indonesia which will save you time and money.

All of our suppliers specialize in certain areas. Whether it is fabrics such as, bamboo, rayon, cotton, silks, or lace or other materials such as leather, or accessories such as zippers, clasps, or buttons, we will work with you to source all materials needed.

If you have a desire to create your own fabrics and print, we have the ability to do screen, digital and batik printing. Just provide us the designs and we will take care of the rest.

CAD/CAM services (pattern making, grading and printing of markers), sampling services:

Once you provide us with your detailed design drawings and supporting images we will help create the patterns and samples for you. Patterns can be created on a thin tissue like paper or a thick stock paper . These are the templates that will be used to cut the fabric to make your sew samples. Sew samples are the first attempt at having your design turned into a physical garment. Once this sample is made, minor adjustments may be necessary and if not then this will be used as the “blue print” for your clothing in mass production. During the process of making your patterns and sew samples, we will use RFD fabric; this is "ready for dying". It is a slightly off white colour and the base for adding your own colours or prints. In the sampling process, you want to ensure the sew sample is correct before you move onto the testing of colourways or printing of fabrics.

Once the fabric has been finalized, Unicode's expert technicians develop the pattern, make suggestions, review the specifications package, bill of material, and grade rules. We will also develop style markers, submit proto samples, and fit samples. Signature labels as well as care and content labels can be handled in-house or coordinated with the customer's contacts. Critical attention is to always paid to delivering photo samples and salesman samples on time. Our services include; pattern development, developing spec package, pre-production grading, marker making, label and care/content development, proto, fit and photo samples and salesman samples.

Technological assistance to the factories to ensure quality as per customer requirements:

MASS PRODUCTION AND QUALITY CONTROL

Once all the patterns and sew samples are made, inspected and reviewed for any possible adjustments and the decision is made to go into mass production other factors need to be keep in mind. Lead time, production time, minimum order quantity and quality control need to be considered.

LEAD TIME AND PRODUCTION TIME

Lead time is the time prior to the production of your garments. It is necessary to allow the manufacturer time to finish other projects on the go but also to ensure all the necessary fabrics and materials are ready for the mass production. Lead time can vary anywhere from 1-4 weeks on average with our manufacturers and supplier but this is also dependent on your material choice and timeframes if there is special production required. Production time follows lead time in which the amount of time it will take to produce all of your order. Production time can range from 8-12 weeks depending on the complexity of your pieces and size of your line.

QUALITY CONTROL - CUSTOMISED CHECKLIST

Quality control is the most important aspect of any mass production phase. If this process is not overseen very closely on a regular basis, the quality may diminish overtime when dealing with other manufacturers. This is never what anyone wants. During the mass production phase, we will utilise our specialised quality control checklist. This will ensure a high standard of quality if met. With utilising our services as your agent, we will use our specially designed quality control checklist on a weekly basis to 10% of all garments manufactured. In addition to the weekly inspections, a final random inspection of your garments will happen prior to shipping. If the total amount of pieces in your production is less that 1000 pieces, we will check every single piece. Once it goes over this amount, we will check 75% of the production.

All stages of the production cycle have quality control in place and a final inspection before the garments are packaged. At your option, we can provide all package materials and bar coding. All logistics such as letters of credit, scheduling shipments, documents, quota allocations, and visas are all handled by our in house staff. Our services include quality control, bar coding, packaging and logistics.

Ensuring timely deliveries, logistics, checking all documents:

SHIP YOUR MERCHANDISE

Once all the production is complete, we will ship your merchandise to your desired location. We will package each piece in a clear plastic sleeve marked with the size. They will also have the swing tags already attached if this option is chosen. Any additional packaging required prior to them being sent to your end clients will need to be competed by you once the bulk delivery is received. We will ensure that it is sent via sea or air based on your preferences.

SHIPPING BY SEA

Sea shipments are better for larger orders which weigh more. However, they can take 35-45 days to arrive. We use specialized exporting partners for this process. Costs are generally lower when choosing this option but not always feasible due to the length of time it can take. Also, if you are not located near the shipping port, additional freight forwarders may be required to ship your merchandise to your door step. The MOQ for shipping by sea is 3cbm.

SHIPPING BY AIR

Air shipments are slightly higher in cost but only take on average 4-14 days. Choosing air shipments will avoid the need for freight forwarders.

Alternatively, we can use DHL or Pack and Send to send your shipment which will allow for direct billing and a faster delivery - should you have to pay any duties, this will be billed directly on your account.

Most clients prefer air shipments due to the much shorter delivery time frames as well as for ease of use.
