Purpose: This study aims to compare the traditional sample production method and the virtual sample production method, which uses digital workflow in terms of efficiency and sustainability. Methodology: The study was conducted practically in a textile company that uses traditional and digital sample production methods in the ready-to-wear industry. The four different models have been produced simultaneously using conventional and digital production processes, and obtained data have been compared regarding efficiency and sustainability. Findings: The comparison made for the four models selected in the study reveals that 80% cost savings were achieved with digital sample production. While a significant amount of marker paper, by-product, and the fabric is consumed in traditional sample production, never used paper and auxiliary materials in digital samples, and used a minimum amount of fabric for testing. It is thought that the spread of the digital workflow will contribute to the increase companies’ efficiency. Originality: There are studies on the digital workflow in terms of more dimensioning and conformity to reality. However, no studies compare the digital sample production process and traditional sample production processes in terms of efficiency and sustainability.
