About Us
We are a professional product development service for the apparel and non-apparel sewn goods industry. Unlike other services available to our industry, we provide COMPLETE design and technical services. 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 into your total picture. Our thorough, interactive approach will prevent you costly mistakes, which can occur from common lack of communication between contractors.
We have served the apparel industry since 1987. Located in Lancaster County, PA. One hour West of Philadelphia. Our past customer list includes: Adidas, American Wool Council, Amerimark Direct LLC, And1, Bill’s Khakis, British Knights, Champion Athletic Sportswear, Christian Dior, Cintas, Esprit, Eagle’s Eye, Fresh Produce, Gap, Industrial Apparel Warehouse, JC Penny, Jerzees division of Russell, Jones of New York, Liz Claiborne, McBriar, Macy’s, Moving Comfort, Nordic Gear, Old Navy, Parigi, Perry Ellis, R&R Uniform, Russell Corp, Susan Dunn, Tighe Industries, and Walt Disney. Please see the list of current clients on Our Clients page.
