MaterialFirst Marketplace
Suppliers and buyers save time, shorten the development cycle, and eliminate waste with MaterialFirst shared libraries.
MaterialFirst Is The Exclusive Material Marketplace Built Into Texbase
MaterialFirst is the first place for brands to look for new materials from current suppliers or find materials from new suppliers that are completely vetted by industry peers. For material providers or ingredient brands, it is the most effective way to market your materials to existing or potential customers.
MaterialFirst consists of curated collections from Texbase suppliers who have agreed to share fabrics and components with our established brand subscribers. Fabric and component details such as sustainability information, certifications, construction, content, and images are easy to import into your material libraries. This new functionality allows you to dynamically import material information directly into your Texbase instance to facilitate further development and eliminate duplicate data entry.
Suppliers and buyers save time, shorten the development cycle and eliminate waste with MaterialFirst.

Develop from Concept to Finished Product
MaterialFirst utilizes a double opt-in security feature allowing the data provider and the data consumer to both agree to exchange material information before any data is shared. It also allows either company to rescind their commitment to the other company and therefore prevent any further MaterialFirst collaboration.
Streamlined Access to New Materials
MaterialFirst allows both data providers and data consumers to shorten the development cycle. Data consumers can view fabrics and components (including item details) and determine if they would like to request a sample. This reduces the number of samples a data provider needs to ship - saving time, money and eliminating waste.
