Apart from that, it can also outsource the color dyeing process and customer service to third parties who are experienced in doing so. http://www.outsource2india.com/why_outsource/articles/global-outsourcing.asphttp://kalypso.com /viewpoints/blog/apparel-manufacturing-outsourcing-product-innovation-opportunities/http://www.fibre2fashion. com/industry-article/29/2863/global-apparel-sourcing-whats-the-preference-cost-quality -o-lead-time1.asphttp://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/632895/hang_ten_group_holdings_ltd
