Cut and Sew Contractors
Cut and Sew contractors provide custom sewing services for a wide range of different companies who want to either modify existing products or create new ones. Industrial sewing equipment is expensive and specialized, so when creating a new fabric based product, start ups and seasoned companies should consider contracting out their sewing work.
Over the past two decades, most of the cut and sew contractors have moved off shore to places like China, Cambodia and Taiwan. There are however several large, medium and small custom sewing companies still here in the United States.
