How We Work With Your Brand.
From initial 3D tech-pack submission to final physical sample approval and international air delivery, our workflow is transparent, rapid, and zero-compromise.
Pattern Making
Patterns are created to match your required sizes and design geometries. Each product features a unique 3D CAD pattern, crafted with millimeter accuracy and grading precision.
Pre-Production Sample
Before bulk production, we create a full-spec physical master sample and ship it to you for approval. Once signed off, we proceed immediately to the next step.
Material & Fabric Sourcing
Performance fabrics are milled and inspected in our climate-controlled warehouse. We test GSM weight, 4-way stretch recovery, and capillary moisture-wicking before cutting.
Precision Laser Cutting
Automated computer-guided CNC laser cutters slice multi-layer fabric panels with zero distortion, guaranteeing 100% seam alignment and uniform sizing across the entire batch.
Sublimation & Bulk Assembly
Full orders are produced on our high-density 1200 DPI Japanese sublimation printers and 6-needle flatlock stitching lines, with in-line AQL 1.0 quality checkpoints at every stage.
Packaging & Global Logistics
Garments are individual polybagged with your private labels, custom barcodes, and size tags, packed into reinforced export cartons, and dispatched via tracked express air cargo.
