Regularly check in on progress, ask for updates, and address any issues promptly. Consider hiring a third-party quality control inspector to ensure that your products meet your standards before they're shipped to you.

When looking for a manufacturer, consider their minimum order quantities (MOQs). Some manufacturers may have high MOQs, which might not be feasible for a startup. Try to find a manufacturer that's willing to work with smaller orders or negotiate a lower MOQ for your first production run.

Before approaching a manufacturer, it's essential to have a clear understanding of your product. Develop a tech pack, which includes detailed specifications like fabric type, colors, measurements, trims, and any special features. This will help the manufacturer understand your vision and provide accurate quotes and lead times.
