Process | Meridian Garments
Step 1

Let's Get to Know Each Other

Tell us about your brand, your vision, what's keeping you up at night. We want to understand not just what you're making, but why it matters to you. This is the start of a partnership—we're here to listen first.

What happens:

  • ✓ A real conversation (not a sales pitch)
  • ✓ Walk us through your designs or ideas
  • ✓ Talk through quantities, timing, and goals
  • ✓ Honest feedback on how we can help

Timeline: 1-3 days

Step 2

We Roll Up Our Sleeves

This is where your idea starts becoming real. Whether you've got detailed tech packs or a napkin sketch, we'll work side by side with you to figure out the details—fabrics, colors, trims, construction. We love this part.

What happens:

  • ✓ Tech pack refinement (or creation from scratch)
  • ✓ Fabric sourcing and recommendations
  • ✓ Color matching until it's exactly right
  • ✓ Trims and details that make it yours

Timeline: 1-3 weeks

Step 3

Now We Get It Perfect

Here's where the magic happens. We'll send you samples, you'll tell us what you love and what needs tweaking, and we'll iterate until you're thrilled. Most styles nail it in 1-3 rounds, but we'll do as many as it takes. Your name is going on this—it has to be right.

What happens:

  • ✓ First sample in your hands
  • ✓ Detailed fit testing and feedback sessions
  • ✓ Revisions based on your input
  • ✓ Final approval when you're ready

Timeline: 2-4 weeks per round

Step 4

We Bring It to Life at Scale

Once you've approved the sample, we move into full production. This is what we've been doing for over a decade—and we take it seriously. Every piece gets inspected, every detail gets checked. We're not done until it meets our standards (which, honestly, are probably stricter than yours).

What happens:

  • ✓ Incoming fabric inspection
  • ✓ Precision cutting and production
  • ✓ Quality checks at every stage
  • ✓ Final AQL inspection before packing

Timeline: 30-45 days

Step 5

Delivered to Your Door

Packed exactly how you need it, labeled with your branding, documented for customs, and shipped with care. We handle all the logistics so you can focus on what comes next—selling your beautiful new product.

What happens:

  • ✓ Packing to your exact specifications
  • ✓ Labels and hang tags applied
  • ✓ All shipping documentation handled
  • ✓ Freight coordination and tracking

Timeline: 2-4 weeks (varies by method)

12-18 Weeks

That's the typical journey from our first conversation to garments at your door. Some projects move faster, some take longer—it depends on complexity, sample iterations, and how quickly decisions get made. We'll keep you in the loop every step of the way.

Questions You Might Have

What's the minimum order?

Usually 300-500 units per style/color. It varies by complexity, and we're always happy to talk through what makes sense for your situation.

Do I need tech packs?

Not at all. Some clients come to us with detailed specs, others have a photo and a dream. We'll help you build what you need from wherever you're starting.

How do payments work?

Typically 30% to kick things off, 70% before shipping. But we're flexible—let's talk about what works for you.

Can I visit the factory?

Absolutely. We love showing clients around. Most people meet with us stateside first, then visit India when they're ready—but you're welcome anytime.

What if something goes wrong?

We stand behind our work, full stop. Our QC catches issues early, but if something slips through, we'll make it right. That's how partnerships work.

Rush orders?

Sometimes, yes. Depends on current capacity and what you need. Talk to us—we'll be honest about what's possible.
