Question 1

What is Manufacture With OTB?

Accepted Answer

Manufacture With OTB is our direct manufacturing partnership service. Instead of sourcing and managing production on your own, you work directly with the ONTHEBIAS team to bring your designs to life. We handle the manufacturing process - from sourcing materials and coordinating with our factory partners to managing production, quality control, and delivery. Think of it as having a manufacturing partner, not just a platform.

Question 2

How much does it cost to submit a manufacturing inquiry?

Accepted Answer

Submitting a Manufacture With OTB inquiry is completely free - no credits or subscription required. You just need to be logged in to your ONTHEBIAS account. This is a consultation-based service, so once we receive your inquiry, our team will review your project details and follow up with you directly to discuss pricing, timelines, and next steps.

Question 3

Question 4

Do I need a tech pack to manufacture with OTB?

Accepted Answer

No. The form asks whether you have a tech pack, but it's not required. If you don't have one, our team can discuss creating one as part of the manufacturing process. If you do have a tech pack ready, you can upload it with your inquiry to help us provide a more accurate quote and timeline.

Question 5

Can I upload files with my inquiry?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There are two upload fields - one for reference images (design sketches, mood boards, inspiration photos, product images) and another for documents (tech packs, PDFs, spec sheets, AI files, or other supporting materials). Uploading references helps our team understand your vision and provide a faster, more accurate response.

Question 6

What if I have a large number of styles to manufacture?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly the kind of project Manufacture With OTB is built for. Whether you're producing 5 styles or 80+, submit your inquiry with as much detail as possible and our team will work with you on a custom manufacturing plan that covers your full collection. For large-scale projects, we recommend reaching out directly at info@onthebias.co (mailto:info@onthebias.co)or messaging us on WhatsApp (https://wa.me/15714948038)so we can start the conversation sooner.

Question 7

What happens after I submit my inquiry?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive a confirmation email and your inquiry status is set to "Pending." Our team will review your project details - product type, quantity, budget, timeline - and reach out to you directly via email or phone to discuss next steps, pricing, and how we can best support your production.

Question 8

Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Accepted Answer

MOQs depend on the product type, materials, and manufacturing complexity. Once our team reviews your inquiry, we'll discuss specific minimums and help find the best production approach for your project - whether you're doing a small initial run or a larger order.

Question 9

How is Manufacture With OTB different from Production Management?

Accepted Answer

With Manufacture With OTB, ONTHEBIAS acts as your manufacturing partner - we coordinate directly with our factory network and manage the entire production process on your behalf. With Production Management (2 credits), you already have your own supplier and need help overseeing and coordinating that existing relationship. In short: Manufacture With OTB means "we produce it for you," while Production Management means "we help you manage your own supplier."

Question 10

How is this different from Supplier Match?

Accepted Answer

Supplier Match (1 credit) connects you with factories from our directory - you then manage the relationship directly with that supplier. Manufacture With OTB is a hands-on partnership where our team manages the entire manufacturing process for you, from sourcing to delivery. Supplier Match gives you a connection; Manufacture With OTB gives you a full production partner.

Question 11

How is this different from Design-to-Delivery?

Accepted Answer

Design-to-Delivery (16 credits) is our end-to-end service that starts from a design concept and takes it all the way through to production. Manufacture With OTB is specifically for when you already have your product designed and need a manufacturing partner to produce it. If you still need design, tech pack, and pattern work done, Design-to-Delivery covers all of that. If you're ready to produce, Manufacture With OTB is the right fit.

Question 12

Do I need a subscription to use this service?

Accepted Answer

No. Manufacture With OTB is available to all logged-in users regardless of plan - (free), Designer, or Professional. There are no credits involved. It's a free inquiry that opens a direct conversation with our team.

Question 13

Why is phone number required?

Accepted Answer

Manufacturing projects involve a lot of back-and-forth on details - materials, sizing, timelines, samples, and more. Having your phone number allows our team to communicate quickly and efficiently when needed, rather than relying solely on email for time-sensitive production decisions.

Question 14

What is the typical lead time for manufacturing?

Accepted Answer

Lead times vary depending on the complexity of your product, the quantity, materials, and your manufacturer's capacity. When you submit your inquiry, we will contact you and let you know!
