What It Covers

Manufacturing services are the factory's raw production capability, station by station.

This is what the factory can physically build — the cutting, decoration, sewing, taping, QC and finishing stations themselves. Here's what that covers, where it sends you if you need the design service, the fabric or the branding instead, and who it's for.

What it is — the manufacturing capability itself: the in-house stations that turn approved fabric and artwork into finished fishing garments, cut to carton, without an outside workshop in the chain.

If you want the fabric science, not the make

→ that's fabric technology: fiber build, gsm, weave, UPF and the performance mechanisms. Manufacturing is how the cloth becomes a garment; fabric technology is what the cloth is — this page doesn't re-spec gsm, it links there.

If you want us to design and manage the whole thing with you

→ that's the custom gear program: design collaboration, digital mockups, sign-off and a coordinated set delivered to you. That program wraps design and project management around this capability — manufacturing services is what the factory can build.

If you want your own retail brand labeled and packaged

→ that's private label fishing apparel: woven labels, hangtags, barcoded packaging and FBA/retail-ready cartons. Manufacturing services build and finish the garment; the branding layer lives on that page.

The Route

How an order routes through the factory, station to station.

The capability isn't a list of machines — it's a route. An order travels one continuous path across eight in-house stations, and because every station is on the same floor, the work doesn't ship out and back between steps. Here's the path, and where decoration branches by substrate. (Factory-stated; the day-by-day timeline is on the home page.)

01Cut 02Decoratebranch by substrate 03Sew 04Bond & Tape 05QC 06Finish 07Pack 08Ship work order

A One work-order, one continuous path

Cut → Decorate → Sew → Bond & Tape → QC → Finish → Pack → Ship — one work-order card travels the whole line, stamped at each station before it advances.

B Decoration branches by substrate, then merges back

After cutting, panels route to the station the substrate calls for — poly to sublimation, cotton/blend to the print bay, logos to embroidery — then rejoin the sewing line as one order, so a mixed job isn't split across suppliers.

C Nothing leaves the floor between steps

Because cut, print, embroider, sew, tape, inspect, finish and pack are all in one building, there's no ship-out lag or handoff where a batch stalls or a responsibility gap opens — the failure point of a chain that outsources a station.

D One order, one traceable pass

Every station logs against your order, so a question at QC traces straight back to the cut, the print run or the line that sewed it — not to an outside workshop you can't reach.

Each station below is one stop on that route — what it does, the capability spec, and what you get from it.

Station 01 · Cut

Cutting and prep: multi-ply spreading, nesting and panel accuracy.

Cutting is where unit cost and panel consistency are set before a single stitch. Here's how the factory lays, nests and cuts performance fabric — and why precision here decides whether a run sews clean.

Automated multi-ply spreading

An auto spreader lays performance knit and woven up to ~60 plies deep in an even, tension-controlled lay, so every panel in the stack cuts to the same dimension instead of drifting ply to ply.

Nested markers protect yield

Patterns are nested tight on the marker before cutting, because performance knits cost more per meter than cotton — a tighter nest is where fabric yield, and your unit cost, is won or lost.

CNC / straight-knife accuracy

A CNC-guided or straight-knife cutter tracks the nested marker holding roughly ±1–2 mm, so panels match at the seam and a graded size stays true across the run.

Prep for the route

Cut bundles are ticketed to the work-order and sorted for their decoration branch or straight to sew — the traveler card starts here. (Fiber, gsm and weave specs live on fabric technology.)

Station 02 · Decorate

In-house decoration, routed by substrate and kept in sequence.

Decoration runs as a station on the route, not an outside job — the decorated panel never leaves the floor. Here's how print, sublimation and embroidery are sequenced and routed by substrate; the method-to-fabric map and color tolerance are detailed under custom decoration. (Factory-stated; this page covers the station, not the method.)

The substrate routes the station — two branches, one order
Poly → branch A In-house sublimation heat-press station running continuous rolls
Sublimation & heat-press

Continuous-roll sublimation, in-line

Wide-format printers feed a rotary calender press running continuous rolls, so poly panels are dyed edge-to-edge in-line and moved straight to sewing — no transfer-shop round trip.

Cotton / logo → branch B Multi-head embroidery machine stitching logos in the line
Print bay & embroidery

DTF, silkscreen and multi-head embroidery

A DTF and silkscreen bay handles cotton, blends and spot-color panels the calender can't take, and in-house multi-head embroidery stitches logos (up to roughly 12,000 stitches per mark) slotted between print and sew.

Both branches rejoin the same order. Each panel is decorated at its station and merges back into the work-order before sewing, so a mixed print-and-embroidery job stays one order on one floor — not split across outside shops.

Which method suits which fabric, wash durability and color tolerance are covered under custom decoration — this page covers the station in the line, not the method.

Station 03 · Sew

Sewing and seam construction: flat-lock, overlock and coverstitch lines.

Six sewing lines, each set up station-per-operation, run the seam types performance fishing wear needs. Here's the line configuration and the seam menu you can spec a garment to.

6lines

Six sewing lines of roughly 12 stations each, station per operation — a garment moves station to station on one line instead of hopping lines mid-build.

Flat-lock — skin-side performance seams
Overlock — edge finishing & construction
Coverstitch — hems & cover-seams
Spec'd per garment

A seam menu, not a fixed build

Flat-lock for skin-side performance seams, overlock for edge finishing and construction, coverstitch for hems — you spec the seam type per panel, and the line is set up to run it.

Bundle flow

A graded size stays true

Cut bundles stay together through the line by size and color, so a graded size sews consistent across the run rather than mixing across bundles.

Reinforcement

Built in where a fish fights back

Bar-tacks and reinforcement at stress points — pockets, plackets, cuffs — are built in at the operation that owns them, not added after. (Why flat-lock matters on performance fabric is covered on about the factory.)

Heat seam-taping station sealing waterproof tape over stitched seams
Station 04 & 06 · Bond, Tape & Finish

Seam bonding, taping and garment finishing.

Functional fishing gear — shells, rain layers, waterproof panels — needs seams a plain sewing line can't give, and every finished piece needs a proper press before it ships. Here's the taping, bonding and finishing capability most generalists skip. (Factory-stated capability.)

Heat-sealed seam taping

A seam-tape station heat-seals waterproof tape over stitched seams on shells and rain layers, so a needle-hole seam doesn't leak — the capability that makes a garment functionally waterproof, not just water-resistant.

Bonded / no-sew seams

For low-bulk, clean-finish panels we can bond seams without a stitch line, so a soft-shell or a stretch panel stays flat and doesn't chafe where a heavy seam would.

Steam finishing & de-threading

Every finished piece is steam-pressed, de-threaded and trimmed at a finishing station, so it lands crisp and retail-shaped — not creased out of the sewing line.

Final garment prep

Fold, tag-thread and any garment-side finishing to your spec, ready for QC and pack. (Branded labels, hangtags and retail packaging are on private label fishing apparel.)

Station 05 · QC

In-line checks and AQL 2.5 pre-shipment inspection.

Quality isn't one look at the end — it's checks along the route and a sampling standard before the goods leave. Here's how the AQL 2.5 inspection actually runs, so "we inspect" has a method behind it, not a glance. (Factory-stated; the headline QC figures are on the home page.)

AQL 2.5
Pre-shipment acceptance level
Tighter — critical / safetyAQL 1.0
Our standard — major defectsAQL 2.5
Looser — minor cosmeticAQL 4.0

In-line checks at cut and mid-sew

Panels and half-built pieces are checked at the cut station and mid-line, so a fabric flaw or a stitch issue is caught while it's one piece — not discovered in a finished carton.

AQL 2.5 pre-shipment sampling

Before shipment, a random sample sized to the lot is pulled and inspected to AQL 2.5 — measured against your approved sample, with accept/reject thresholds applied, so the batch passes on a defined standard rather than a spot-check.

Measured, not eyeballed

Pieces are laid on a lit inspection table and measured against the size spec with tape and gauge, so a graded size is verified to tolerance, not judged by feel.

A photo report before it ships

Every PO ships with a QC photo report against the approved sample, and anything off-spec is reworked or remade before dispatch — the standard behind the numbers on the home page.

Station 07 & 08 · Pack & Ship

Production capacity, scheduling and export dispatch.

The last part of a capability is throughput — how much the floor runs, how a rush is scheduled, and how the finished goods leave. Here's the capacity behind the stations and the physical pack-and-ship station that closes the route.

30,00050,000
pcs / month across styles
from 100 pcs
Per style, mixed sizes to build a run

Monthly throughput

Roughly 30,000–50,000 pcs/month across styles, so a wholesale or standing program has real capacity behind it — the shop-floor headline is on the home page.

Rush blocks against a booked calendar

Capacity is scheduled against a booked calendar, so a rush run can be blocked in ahead rather than queued behind other orders — a reserved production window for a season repeat.

Dispatch, DDP or DDU

Finished cartons ship DDP or DDU with commercial invoice, packing list and, on request, certificate of origin — landed responsibility agreed before the container moves. (The full brief-to-ship timeline is on the home page.)

Fishing apparel packing and cartoning station at the end of the line

The pack-and-ship station

At the end of the route, pieces are folded, poly-bagged, cartoned and palletized to your spec — the physical pack station, not the brand packaging (woven labels, hangtags, barcodes and FBA cartons are on private label fishing apparel).
