| Know before using | The directory is opt-in and excludes qualified people who do not list; designation does not guarantee availability, price, or suitability for a specific object or treatment. | A factory profile, platform label, bid, estimate, or message does not establish current identity, factory ownership, capability, capacity, workmanship, pricing, compliance, delivery, or project fit. Paid-plan visibility can affect who responds. Verify the production site, subcontracting, references, samples, quality and compliance records, specifications, commercial terms, and remedies directly. |

| What the source establishes | AIC says listed Professional Members complete a peer-reviewed application and may be searched by specialty, material, service, location, or name. | Maker's Row currently lets a brand submit a project before advance sign-up, then provides access to an account. Its project workflow records product details and files and connects projects with factories by location and specialty. Search guidance lists apparel capabilities such as pattern making, sourcing, sample making, and production. Factory access to bids is plan-dependent. |
