Physical Alvaform

The Alvaform is the ideal fit tool designed to accurately represent the size and shape of your customer, sculpted in 3D by experts who understand human anatomy and physiology.

Off-The-Rack

Our Off-the-Rack collection includes forms that are available as-is. The forms are based on sizing standards developed by us, for you. Our expert consultants and master modelers develop our Standards based on real data pulled from more than tens of thousands of body scans from international populations, collaborations with respected research and standards organizations around the globe, and human anatomy.

Personalized

Personalized AlvaForms allow for rebranding of Off-the-Rack forms - our Standards, your Brand.

  • - 3D Virtual AlvaForms made available through the Alvanon Body Platform,
  • - Company branding printed on AlvaForms,
  • - And vendor order tracking reports.
Fit Essentials Package:
  • - Includes 1 AlvaForm with shipping and handling fees using our AlvaShip services.
