How It Works

From concept to carton.
One clear process.

Every project follows the same five-phase workflow. One point of contact from start to finish. No guesswork, no disappearing acts.

Phase 1
Day 1–2

Brief & Concept

You share your reference — a sketch, photo, tech pack, or even a competitor’s button you’d like to improve. We assess feasibility, recommend suitable materials and surface treatments, and provide a preliminary quote. If you’re unsure about material choice, we guide you based on your garment type, budget, and desired aesthetic.

Phase 2
Day 3–14

Sample Development

We create a physical prototype. This includes custom tooling (mold or die), material preparation, surface treatment, and dimensional verification. You receive the sample via express courier for hands-on evaluation. Sample cost depends on complexity — simple modifications to existing molds are lower; fully custom 3D designs require new tooling.

Phase 3
Day 14–21

Approval & Refinement

You review the sample and provide feedback. Most projects need 1–2 rounds of adjustment — typically fine-tuning color, finish texture, or dimensional details. We adjust and re-sample until you sign off. Color matching follows ΔE<1.5 standard; we can also match to a physical Pantone chip or fabric swatch you provide.

Phase 4
Day 21–35

Bulk Production

Once approved, we schedule production. Inline quality checks run throughout — not just at the end. Every batch is tested for dimensional accuracy, surface finish consistency, and functional performance (snap force, shank strength, etc.). We send production progress updates and flag any issues before they become problems.

Phase 5
Day 35–42

QC & Delivery

Final inspection before packing. We pack according to your spec — bulk poly bags, individual cards, or custom packaging. Shipping options include express courier (DHL/FedEx/UPS), air freight, or sea freight depending on volume and urgency. We provide tracking and handle export documentation.
