Four-step workflow

From sports accessory brief to delivered order

Each program moves through defined review and approval points. Exact timing, testing scope, commercial terms, and delivery responsibilities are confirmed in the project quotation.

  1. Project Brief & Quotation

    Share the accessory type, target activity, material and performance specification, fit, functional details, artwork, testing needs, quantity, timing, and delivery destination. We review feasibility, missing inputs, and quotation variables.

  2. Development, Sampling & Approval

    Material, color, knit structure, construction, sizing, functional details, decoration, trims, and the sample route are developed against the brief. Fit, measurements, functionality, artwork, test criteria, labels, and packaging are approved before final order terms are confirmed. Typical sampling is 1-2 weeks after the required inputs are aligned, depending on product and material complexity.

  3. Bulk Production & Quality Control

    Bulk production follows the approved sample and current specification. Incoming material, in-line and final product checks, together with agreed testing, are reviewed before shipment release.

  4. Export & Delivery

    Packing instructions, standard export documents, freight booking information, and delivery scope are aligned before dispatch. FOB and DDP terms are available by project.
