What it is
CMT (cut-make-trim) usually means the factory cuts fabric, sews the garment, and applies trims, while the brand (or another party) supplies fabric and sometimes trims. Exact definitions vary — always confirm inclusions.
Why it matters
CMT versus full-package changes who buys materials, who carries fabric MOQs, and where delays sit. Put the split of responsibilities in the RFQ.
