How production works
Tech pack and costing
Send a tech pack, a sample or a photo. Your files are covered by a mutual NDA before anything reaches a factory, and a sourcing lead replies within one business day with a costed breakdown.
Prototype and fit
Pattern, first sample and up to three fit rounds against your tech pack.
Bulk production
18 to 24 days of production, with quality checks during production, on the line.
Final inspection
Every order goes through a final AQL 2.5 inspection before it ships.
Door-to-door delivery
Road and sea freight via Tanger Med and Algeciras: 2 to 5 days to Europe, customs clearance arranged on behalf of the client, who remains the importer.
Quality control
We quality-check the factories we work with ourselves. During the run, quality checks on the line catch defects early. At the end, a final inspection is carried out to AQL 2.5.
AQL 2.5 is a common acceptance level for major defects in ISO 2859-1 sampling: a random sample of the lot is checked, and the lot passes only if the defects found stay within the limit.
Transport to Europe: DAP, door to door
Goods leave the factory by road, cross the Strait of Gibraltar from the port of Tanger Med to Algeciras, then continue by road to your address. Transit takes 2 to 5 days, from factory pickup to delivery.
Freight, customs clearance and final delivery are arranged in a single booking, through our partner forwarders: one booking, one price for transport and organisation. Import duties and VAT are paid by you as importer, and re-invoiced at cost if we advance them. Customs clearance: we arrange it on behalf of the client, who remains the importer. DDP is available on request, with a specific quote. Our estimates assume one delivery address in the EU.
