CMT (Cut, Make, Trim)

CMT (Cut, Make, Trim) is a common manufacturing process in the apparel industry. It involves three main steps: "Cut" where fabric is cut into pattern pieces; "Make" which is sewing the pieces together to assemble the garment; and "Trim" that includes finishing touches like adding buttons, labels, and quality checks. This model allows clients to supply their own fabric and design, while manufacturers handle the production process. CMT provides flexibility and control over design, cost, and quality, making it a popular choice for brands and retailers outsourcing fashion production.
