A 45-day lead time is not a delay.
It is a structured manufacturing sequence designed to ensure quality, customization accuracy, and reliable delivery.
Here is a visual breakdown of how our tactical gear factory manages every stage of production.
Engineering Confirmation & Order Structuring（Day 1-5）
What Happens:
Technical drawings finalized
Size specifications locked
Material type confirmed
Pantone color approval
Logo placement verification
Packaging requirements defined
Why It Matters:
This stage prevents structural errors and future rework.
Clear engineering planning ensures smooth production flow.
Material Procurement & Inspection（Day 6-15）
What Happens:
1000D nylon or custom fabric sourcing
Buckles and hardware confirmation
Webbing and hook & loop cutting preparation
PE or aramid panel preparation (if required)
Raw material inspection before production
Why It Matters:
Stable materials determine final product durability.
All materials must pass inspection before entering cutting lines.
Precision Cutting & Batch Preparation（Day 16-22）
What Happens:
Template-guided or automated cutting
Multi-layer alignment inspection
Batch numbering for traceability
Pre-assembly staging
Why It Matters:
Dimensional consistency starts here.
Cutting accuracy prevents mass deviation during stitching.
Structured Stitching & Assembly（Day 25-35）
What Happens:
Reinforced stitching at load zones
MOLLE alignment precision sewing
Shoulder & waist adjustment system integration
Accessory attachment assembly
Daily in-process QC inspections
Why It Matters:
This is the core manufacturing period.
Every batch is inspected before moving forward.
Final Quality Control & Functional Testing（Day 36-40）
Inspection Includes:
Dimensional tolerance verification
Stitch strength testing
Attachment stability checks
Appearance consistency review
Random load-bearing simulation
Why It Matters:
No batch moves to packaging without approval.
Inspection is not compressed—even during tight schedules.
Packaging & Export Coordination（Day 41-45）
What Happens:
Customized packaging
Carton labeling
Export documentation preparation
Container loading coordination
Shipment schedule confirmation
Why It Matters:
Proper export handling ensures on-time international delivery.
