Whether you’re prepping for a major event, fulfilling a contract, or launching a new collection, just one manufacturing mistake can cost you:
Tens of thousands in lost sales & refunds
Your most important wholesale or retail account
Your reputation in the eyes of customers and partners
Months (or even years) of brand momentum
