Garment Production Preparation
ERGOMODELS provides professional production preparation for individual garments and complete collections, including marker making, fabric consumption calculations and technical production documentation for each style.
Accurate preparation helps organise cutting and sewing more efficiently, reduce fabric consumption and provide the production team with clear, consistent information.
Production Marker Making
Pattern markers are created according to the garment construction, fabric characteristics and requirements of each production order. Each marker is prepared for the agreed fabric width, size ratio and production quantity.

Automatic Pattern Nesting
We use modern professional CAD software for automatic pattern nesting and marker optimisation. After automatic nesting, every marker is reviewed by a specialist and adjusted manually where necessary.

Pattern and Production Marker Printing
After the digital files have been prepared and checked, we print patterns and production markers on a wide-format plotter at full 1:1 scale.
We can print:
- the base-size pattern set
- patterns in selected sizes and height groups
- the complete graded pattern set
- production markers prepared for the required size ratio and quantities
- markers for the agreed fabric type and width
Before printing, we check the scale, size identification, pattern-piece names, grainlines, control points, notches and total marker length.
The client receives clearly printed patterns or a complete production marker ready for the cutting room. This saves cutting time and removes the need to prepare and print the files independently.
