Glass Factory by Will Lasry

Brand owners struggle to find reliable manufacturing partners to bring their product ideas to life. Sourcing quality factories online is very challenging and it can be even harder to know what is truly going on inside the factory. Glass Factory was created to visit and document these factories in a very clear way so that brand owners do not have to. We spend our entire year travelling around the world visiting premium factories in the textile, apparel, and fashion accessories space. We film them from front to back, show off product they made, what their facilities look like, what their MOQs are, price ranges, etc.

It includes over 50 different factories that manufacture a wide range of apparel including streetwear, luxury, activewear, and more. MOQs are as low as 50 units for some factories. Countries include USA, Japan, Italy, Spain, China, and more.

It includes over 150 different factories that manufacture a wide range of apparel including streetwear, luxury, activewear, loungewear, sportswear, womenswear, as well as accessories, vinyl figures, woven labels, stickers, and so much more. MOQs are as low as 50 units for some factories. Over 20 countries included with factories like Canada, USA, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Poland, China, Vietnam, Thailand, and more. For each factory, we include contact information for you to easily reach out to the factories directly. Some factories include price ranges and product pictures as well.

A techpack is a blueprint the manufacturer uses to convert your design into a physical product. It includes all of the measurements, decorations, labels, folding and packaging instructions, and more. In the same way you would make a blueprint before building a house, you would make a techpack before crafting a garment. A great techpack saves you tons of time and money because it leads to less samples being made. We include over 15 techpacks that act as templates for the products you make with factories. We have made techpack templates for tshirts, hoodies, sweatpants, jeans, hats, socks, sneakers, and more. The Glass Factory team has personally used these techpacks to communicate with countless factories.

We want our community to guide which countries we visit to uncover the best factories. We plan on eventually providing premium factories across every industry. Join the discord community and vote on where we travel to next!
