I’ve been thinking about packaging because it seems easy to overlook when planning a clothing collection. Garments may need folding, individual bags, tags, stickers, boxes, or other packaging before they reach customers. The apparel partner came up during my research, which made me wonder how brands coordinate this part. Do manufacturers usually handle packaging, or do brands arrange it separately? When should packaging requirements be discussed during production? I’d also like to know whether custom packaging creates additional complications for smaller collections.
