Composition category settings

Composition category – admin setup#

This article outlines best practices for setting up and using composition categories in Vestis Labs to support clear organisation and consistent classification of material compositions throughout the product development process.

Introduction & best practice#

Composition categories in Vestis Labs help group materials based on their fibre content or blend type, ensuring clarity and standardisation across your libraries and workflows. By assigning categories—such as cotton blends, synthetic blends, natural fibres, recycled fibres, or performance materials—you create a structured system that improves filtering, reporting, and collaboration between teams.

While composition categories are optional, using them is highly recommended to maintain a scalable and well-organised material library as your assortment expands.
