FAQ's
Why are your sample packages priced at this level?
Our packages reflect the true scope of professional garment development. Each project includes design translation, technical documentation, pattern engineering, sampling, quality control, and project management — work that typically requires multiple vendors, freelancers, and costly trial-and-error when done independently.
Do both packages include real design development, not just technical work?
Yes. Both packages include full design development for one style, including sketches, mockups, and 3D renderings — ensuring your creative vision is fully resolved before production.
Who owns the designs and files created during the process?
You retain full ownership of all designs, tech packs, patterns, and branding assets created through either package.
How does this compare to working directly with a factory?
Traditional factories focus on execution, not development. Hightrast bridges the gap between design and production, offering clarity, communication, and technical precision — reducing costly mistakes and delays.
Is the Basic Sample Package enough to move forward confidently?
Yes. The Basic Package is designed for designers who want to test or validate a single concept with professional execution. It delivers a production-ready sample and technical foundation without overcommitting resources.
Who should choose the Deluxe Sample Package instead?
The Deluxe Package is best for designers preparing for retail, buyer presentations, or brand launch. It includes branding, size grading, and assets that support scalability, consistency, and real-world selling.
What if I start with the Basic Package and later need more?
Many designers begin with the Basic Package and upgrade as their project evolves. Prior work can be carried forward into the Deluxe Package, avoiding duplication and unnecessary cost.
What’s the difference in fabric sourcing between the two packages?
The Basic Package includes professional material recommendations. The Deluxe Package offers advanced sourcing with curated swatches and a branding reference guide to ensure long-term consistency across future production runs.
Are tech packs and patterns included?
Yes. Both packages include complete tech packs. The Deluxe Package also includes a base-size digital pattern file (DXF/CAD), which you fully own and can reuse for future production.
Will I receive a physical sample?
Yes. Both packages include a production-ready sample shipped to you. The Deluxe Package includes a fully branded sample to reflect retail presentation standards.
Why is size grading only included in the Deluxe Package?
Size grading requires additional pattern engineering, testing, and sampling. It’s included in the Deluxe Package to support designers who are ready to move beyond a single prototype and into scalable production.
Is photography included?
Yes. Both packages include flat-lay and detail photography of your finished sample. The Deluxe Package also includes a professional studio shoot with an agency model for retail and marketing use.
What happens after my sample is finalized?
Once your sample is finalized, we can support small-batch manufacturing, restocking, and ongoing production through our manufacturing partners.
