A Legacy of Quality and Innovation in New York’s Garment District

For more than 30 years, Create-A-Marker has worked behind the scenes with designers and manufacturers, helping prepare patterns for production. Our team understands the technical details that keep projects moving and believes that precision at every stage leads to better results in the factory.

Our Story

Create-A-Marker has been a trusted partner in New York’s Garment District since 1993. Founded by Paul and Dina Cavazza, our company has grown from a small operation into a leader in grading, marking, and digitizing services, known for precision, reliability, and personalized care.

Paul Cavazza  grew up surrounded by the hum of sewing machines and the vibrant world of fabric, and his passion for fashion runs deep. His family operated successful sewing factories in Brooklyn and Marlboro, NY, where he learned the importance of quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Together with Dina, he brought that same commitment to Create-A-Marker, building a company that understands the nuances of garment production and the needs of designers.

From the beginning, our goal has been to build strong, lasting partnerships. We see our clients not just as customers but as collaborators. We work closely with each of them, sharing our expertise, guiding them through the process, and adapting our services to meet their specific requirements. Whether it’s a student launching their first line or a global brand scaling up production, we’re here to support, educate, and inspire.
