Guide 01 / Prepare your project
How to prepare a textile specification.
Start with the component's function, a reference and the dimensions you know. Note separately what is defined and what needs reviewing.
Prepare my brief onlineComplete the details, review your reference and send your inquiry within the website. Original drawings and photographs can be attached at the final step.
01 / Six groups of information
Describe what you know.
Use this list as a guide. If a detail is not yet defined, say so: the first inquiry can start with partial information.
- 01
Application
What is its function and where does it fit?
Name the component and describe its relationship with the product, packaging or equipment. An assembly view adds context.
- 02
Geometry
What shape and dimensions do you know?
Record the unit, measurement point and condition of the component. Separate observed dimensions from required tolerances.
- 03
Material and construction
What is defined and what needs reviewing?
Specify the fibre or construction if there is a specification. If you only have a sample, share that reference.
- 04
Finish and integration
How does it end and how is it fitted?
Describe the ends, colour and appearance. Add any installation points that constrain the component.
- 05
Conditions of use
What requirements must it meet?
Include the criterion and evaluation method when available. Do not turn an estimate into a confirmed requirement.
- 06
Schedule
What volume and dates do you need?
Indicate approximate quantity, delivery format, frequency and target date. Distinguish the sample from the planned supply.
02 / A clear reference
From the assembly
to the detail.
In a photograph, drawing or technical sheet, these three views help explain what you need to develop.
Overall view
Show the complete component and where it fits. Avoid cropping the ends or connection points.
Dimensions
Include dimensions and units in the drawing. When photographing a sample, place a ruler in the same plane.
Detail
Add the cross-section, textile structure and ends. Indicate which aspects of the reference you need to preserve.
03 / Before sharing
A check
for clarity.
- Identify the file, date or revision to avoid confusing versions.
- Separate observed measurements from required dimensions and tolerances.
- Distinguish a visual reference from an acceptance criterion.
- Include approximate volume and target date if you already know them.
The guide organizes your inquiry. Technical scope, sample and supply terms are agreed during the project review.
Details by family
Refine the reference.
Share your drawing, technical sheet or photographs with the available information. Technical details in the form are optional.
