German to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / Promotional information for a company
German term or phrase: Größen-Service bedeutet
I am translating a marketing text, which promotes a textile sportswear company. It is a brief text that talks about what the company produce, its size, the awards that it has received along with the paragraph below. I am struggling to find an appropriate English term for the above phrase. Can anyone please help:

Größen-Service bedeutet: Produkte, die passen! An Farbe und Nummer erkennt man seinen persönlichen Größentyp.

English translation:(Our unique) sizing system ensures a perfect fit
Explanation:
It will depend how free you feel you can be, although I do think you should use system rather than service. I would imagine this "system" involves hundreds of size variations and combinations that can be selected by the customer by way of charts using colours and numbers.

Also see these references:
With its unique selling point of a ‘Sizing service’, which guarantees a perfect fit by means of a clever system of colours and numbers, the company’s strategy is to produce consumer-oriented collections for customers in German speaking countries.
