Inside The Factory

One Building. Nine Departments.

Our Dongguan factory runs pattern making, fabric control, cutting, thermal sublimation, digital and silk-screen printing, embroidery, sewing and quality control under a single roof. Here is exactly what sits on our floor.

What We Run In-House

Each department below is staffed and equipped by us. Nothing is sent out between your sample and your bulk order.

DepartmentWhat it doesWhy it matters to you
Design & pattern makingTech pack development, fit blocks, grading, trim specificationYour idea becomes a cuttable, repeatable pattern - not an approximation
Fabric controlMill sourcing, swatch approval, GSM and composition verification, shade matchingFabric is locked before cutting, so reorders match the original
CuttingFabric spreading, marker planning, die and die-less cuttingLower fabric waste and consistent panel dimensions across sizes
Thermal sublimationFull-colour, dye-sublimation printing on polyester knitsUnlimited colours, no per-colour cost, print that will not crack or peel
Digital printSmall-batch and all-over digital printingCost-effective for short runs and complex artwork
Silk-screen printingPlastisol screen print on cotton and blendsPunchy graphics with a soft hand feel on casual pieces

Equipped For Knit Activewear, Not Just Basic Sewing

Activewear fails on the details: a leg seam that twists, an underband that rolls, a hem that waves. Those are machine and operator problems, so we invest in both.

Our floor runs more than 100 sewing machines, including 4-needle 6-thread flat-lock units for stretch seams, cover-stitch machines, overlock and bar-tack stations, plus dedicated legging machines and template machines for consistent binding.

  • ✓4-needle 6-thread flat-lock machines for seam-free stretch joins
  • ✓Dedicated legging and sports-bra sewing lines
  • ✓Sublimation and digital printing lines with colour profiling
  • ✓Multi-head embroidery with in-house digitising
  • ✓Sampling room producing 7-10 day turnaround prototypes
Quality Control

Three Checkpoints, Every Order

Quality is a process, not a final glance. Each order passes three documented inspections before it is packed.

01

Incoming Fabric Check

Composition, GSM, shade and stretch are verified against the approved swatch, with SGS test reports covering colour fastness, dimensional stability and pilling.

02

In-Line Inspection

During sewing, our line QC checks stitch density, seam allowance, symmetry, measurement points and branding placement at defined intervals.

03

Final Inspection

A full AQL-based review of measurements, appearance, packaging and labelling, issued with a written QC report and photos before shipment.

04

Pre-Shipment Approval

We share the QC report and packing photos with you. Shipment is released only after your sign-off, or against your agreed pre-shipment terms.

Testing

SGS Test Reports On File

These are the fabric tests we run with SGS. Reports are available to buyers on request for the specific fabric and lot in your order.

SGS

Colour Fastness to Light

Protects printed and dyed knits from fading in outdoor and window-facing use.

SGS

Colour Fastness to Washing

Keeps brand colours consistent through repeated home and commercial laundering.

SGS

Dimensional Stability

Controls shrinkage and growth so your size chart stays accurate and returns stay low.

SGS

Pilling Resistance

Keeps leggings, hoodies and fleece looking new after repeated wear and washing.

Sustainability & Compliance

What We Can Prove, And What We Won't Claim

Recycled polyester, recycled nylon-spandex and organic cotton options are available, and we can source GRS-certified and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 fabrics through our mill partners on request. Certification documents are issued by the mill for the specific lot we buy - we will pass them to you and we will not present a certificate we do not hold.

If your brand needs a specific compliance document - restricted substances list, PFAS-free declaration, care and fibre labelling for a target market - tell us at briefing and we will confirm in writing what is available for that fabric before you commit to a purchase order.

Want to Audit Before You Order? We Welcome It.

Video calls from the production floor, live samples sent by courier, or a third-party inspection before shipment - all standard practice for us.
