Envision being able to send your patterns to a factory efficiently without having to spend time tracing copies or risk losing them.

The Pattern Digitizing and Grading package is aimed at brands that have developed their patterns and need to digitize them for production with manufacturers. Once you send your paper patterns, I will digitize them and carefully review them to ensure they are suitable for production production. We will discuss any comments and I will apply grading according to your growth rule. Once completed, you will receive the digital files of your patterns and the different sizes, ready to send to your manufacturers and produce your design with consistent quality.
