CreateMe designs and builds fully automated manufacturing technologies for the apparel industry. We utilize cutting-edge robotics, digitally-applied adhesives, and proprietary computer vision and machine learning algorithms to completely transform how apparel is made in the 21st century. Our technology makes manufacturing faster, more sustainable, and closer to the consumer, driving better economic and environmental outcomes for brands and manufacturers alike.

CreateMe is leading the apparel industry by introducing end-to-end, fully automated production to a sector that has remained largely reliant on manual processes for over 200 years. How apparel is made is fundamentally the same since the invention of the mechanical sewing machine in 1829.

Our technology enables onshore, on-demand apparel manufacturing by combining automation hardware, adhesive seam assembly, and proprietary machine learning/computer vision (ML/CV) algorithms in a unique systems-based approach.

CreateMe's automated assembly techniques use digitally-dispensed adhesive methods at high velocity, achieving cost parity with overseas manual manufacturing today. In the near future, our process will dramatically outperform off-shore labor rates and has the potential to replace much of traditional sewing.

Traditional sewing and seam tape bonding methods are slow, labor-intensive, and at times inconsistent in quality. Seam tape bonding, in particular, adds bulk and restricts the flexibility of textiles. CreateMe’s bonding technology offers a superior alternative by delivering a soft, lightweight handfeel and clean aesthetics, without compromising the fabric’s original stretch and recovery. Our method is versatile across various fibers, including natural, synthetic, and blended materials, making it highly efficient for a wide range of product categories, replacing traditional thread use in modern apparel.

CreateMe’s digitally-dispensed bonding technology provides several key advantages over traditional sewing and tape bonding. Our process uses sub-millimeter precision, ensuring adhesive is applied exactly where it’s needed, minimizing waste common in traditional methods. This precision enhances garment durability by uniformly bonding seams, reducing weak points for longer-lasting wear.

While a form of manual, dot-based bonding is used today in niche categories (e.g. women’s underwear), CreateMe has automated it in women’s underwear and is ultimately pioneering adoption across all casual apparel production. Our vision is to universally build with digitally bonded seams in place of thread. Our bonding method maintains the traditional look of sewing, preserving the fabric's stretch and recovery properties, while offering all of the performance benefits of adhesive assembly.

CreateMe's bonding process eliminates the stiffness or bulk commonly associated with traditional seams, providing greater flexibility and comfort, particularly in performance wear where freedom of movement is essential. Our technology delivers a soft, lightweight handfeel and breathability, maintaining the fabric’s original stretch and recovery.

Unlike traditional methods, which can compromise the fabric’s flexibility, CreateMe’s bonding process enhances garment comfort without sacrificing durability. Additionally our bonding process is highly versatile across a range of fibers, including natural, synthetic, and blended materials, making it highly suited to multiple product categories — from activewear, to luxury, to casual apparel.

CreateMe has extensively tested its technology across 90+ fabrics, including both organic and synthetic materials. While our process is highly adaptable, certain chemical finishes on fabrics can reduce the effectiveness of the bond. To ensure optimal results, we begin with compatibility testing of each fabric. Please reach out to us for more detailed information on how to collaborate and overcome any material-specific challenges.

CreateMe’s platform is designed to produce a wide range of apparel, from intimates, to sportswear, to casual apparel and luxury garments. Our advanced automated manufacturing process allows for precise, on-demand production, ensuring efficiency across different categories, as well as allowing for greater design flexibility on a point solution basis in luxury. The platform is highly adaptable to various fabrics, including natural fibers, synthetics, and blends, as well as weaves (wovens and knits) enabling construction to meet specific brand needs. Whether it’s small batch production or large-scale runs, CreateMe’s technology supports a flexible and scalable approach to apparel manufacturing.

CreateMe’s vision is to bring cutting-edge, automated and on-demand apparel  manufacturing close to the consumer on a global basis.

In 2024, we launched our technology first in the US in the intimates category through a close partnership model, with major global apparel manufacturers and brands. This model covers product development, commercialization and commercial manufacturing. In the next twenty four months we intend to expand into new garment categories with our partners on  a similar basis, including t-shirts, athleisure, sportswear, and ultimately all casual apparel. Commercial engagement under this partnership model, can take the form of licensed technology delivery, joint ventures, and/or direct advanced manufacturing, depending on the opportunity.

Operating from our 35,000 square-foot automation manufacturing and R&D facility in Newark, CA, CreateMe collaborates with global partners to develop, commercialize, and manufacture apparel products utilizing our proprietary technology. Our business model supports a highly efficient rollout of production to micro-factories, given the high revenue per square foot density of our technology, enabling regional yet global operations over time. In the future, we may consider offering our hardware and software services and proprietary adhesive consumables, through a sales and licensing model. Please reach out to us to discuss how our technology can help drive vastly improved outcomes for your business.

CreateMe’s digital adhesive manufacturing process adheres to rigorous internal and external testing and quality control standards, ensuring strength, durability, and washability. Our products meet or exceed industry standard benchmarks through stringent internal protocols, as well as with leading external industry testing partners, such as SGS.

Furthermore, our automated manufacturing platform ensures the highest quality standards vs. conventional apparel manufacturing through the use of precise computer-controlled monitoring at every step in the assembly process. Our active quality assurance process ensures superior product quality and repeatability standards.

Once fabric is in house, CreateMe’s on-demand manufacturing model offers lead times as short as 48 to 72 hours, depending on order volume and fabric availability. This enables efficient production and fast delivery.

Unlike traditional models that require large order quantities for competitive pricing, CreateMe can handle small batch orders at competitive unit prices. This flexibility allows customers to order only what they need, reducing excess inventory and enabling rapid replenishment to avoid stock-outs.

Finally, CreateMe’s enterprise grade systems support scaled manufacturing at up to 1 million units per line per year. Our technology scales from high mix/low volume to extremely high volume.

CreateMe is committed to lowering the environmental impact of apparel production by optimizing manufacturing processes to reduce waste. Our on-demand manufacturing model matches production more closely with consumer demand, minimizing excess inventory and reducing liquidations. Furthermore, by producing closer to the market and the consumer, we also cut down on air freight, further decreasing our carbon footprint.

A key innovation driving sustainability is our proprietary thermoreversible adhesives, which supports automated assembly to disassembly of apparel at scale, allowing true fashion circulatory. This combination of responsive production and advanced recycling technology delivers a more sustainable model for apparel manufacturing.

Absolutely. While we started with apparel, our advanced bonding and automated material handling software and hardware, enables sub millimeter precision assembly of deformable objects at speed, which may be ideally suited to a wide range of other industrial manufacturing applications, including in home goods, healthcare, automotive, and aerospace among others. Please reach out to us to discuss further licensing applications and uses for our technology.
