No, We are not a manufacturing company. We are strictly a full package pattern making and design service company. We can help you with the most difficult process before manufacturing your design which is creating all the jobs needed to create a ready for production design.
We do not work with sewing contractors since we do not do production sewing. Also, Not all sewing contractors have the same machinery to do all types of garment construction. Finding a sewing contractor is a research process that is usually done after you have completed full package pattern design services and you have all the component needed to manufacture your design.

Digitizing
Yes, we can.
When we digitize your patterns our Gerber CAD system will keep all original digized data as a Gerber ZIP file however, when converting files to other formats not all information is always transferrable to another CAD program or system.
Example: converting Gerber files that contain pucholes to PDF or illustrator format.
Punch holes, will not transfer to PDF or illustrator as there are certain restrictions and rules used by each cad program.
In this case we can manually add punch holes in the conversion process to your PDF file so you can see punch holes on your patterns.
Consulting
Yes, we do.
