Our Bali Manufacturing Facility
PT King Trading operates a dedicated swimwear and activewear manufacturing facility in Bali, built around specialised teams and systems developed over more than thirty years.
Located in Kerobokan, every stage takes place under one roof. This allows each collection to move in a clear, controlled flow, from fabric arrival through to final packing, without delays or disconnect between departments. On average, our production timeline from design approval to delivery is typically 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the complexity of your collection and fabric selections. This streamlined process helps you plan launches and manage your brand’s timelines with confidence.
The result is a production process that feels structured behind the scenes, but smooth and effortless from the outside. Exactly how it should be when you are building a brand.
Built for Fit, Shape, and Finish
Everything we produce is designed to fit and enhance the body.
From sculpting swimwear to performance activewear, each stage of production is focused on how the final piece looks, fits, and moves. Clean lines, smooth seams, and consistent sizing are not added later. They are built into the process from the beginning.
Before Production Begins
Before production starts, we require your branding to be finalised.
This includes your logo in vector format and a clear heat press layout showing placement and size on each style.
As all garments move through cutting before branding is applied, having this confirmed in advance ensures the process runs smoothly without delays or rework.
If branding is not prepared at this stage, production cannot begin. If you need assistance finalising your branding, we can recommend trusted graphic designers or connect you with branding specialists who are experienced in creating logos and layouts for apparel. Our team is also here to discuss your options and help you find the right support if you have questions about what is required.
Our team will guide you through this step to make sure everything is clear and ready before your styles enter the production flow.
Cutting
Production begins in the cutting room, where recycled nylon and performance fabrics are prepared for assembly. Our cutting technicians specialise in stretch materials, ensuring each panel is clean, accurate and ready for stitching. Care at this stage sets the foundation for fit, comfort and overall garment quality.
Assembly
Garments are assembled by specialised teams experienced in swimwear and activewear construction.
Each team is guided by senior technicians who understand how stretch fabrics should behave on the body. This ensures that seams, tension, and structure are consistent across every piece, from the first sample to full production.
The goal is simple. When your customer puts it on, it feels right.
Getting Started
Starting your collection is designed to be straightforward.
You can share your designs as front and back screenshots, clear line drawings, or full tech packs. From there, our team guides you through fabric selection using stocked colours or discusses importing specific materials if required. Our minimum order quantity is 100 units per style, which can be split across sizes and colours. Knowing this upfront makes it easier to plan your first order with confidence.
Before sampling begins, styles are drawn digitally using 2D AutoCAD software. This allows sizing, proportions, and construction to be resolved in advance, so the first physical sample is already close to final.
Everything is structured, but never complicated.
Printing
For printed collections, fabrics are produced through specialist overseas partners using high-accuracy digital and sublimation printing.
These facilities operate MS Italy machines, known for their ability to produce clean, sharp, and consistent colour results.
Printed fabrics are flown into Bali weekly, allowing collections to stay current while maintaining stable production timelines.
Stocked Fabrics
One of the biggest advantages of working with us is access to stocked fabrics.
We hold large volumes of imported recycled nylon for swimwear, along with compression and flexible performance fabrics for activewear, all in current, on-trend colours.
This means there is no need to wait 4 to 6 weeks for fabric imports. Once your designs are approved, production can begin immediately.
Faster decisions. Faster sampling. Faster production.
Our typical sampling process takes 2 to 3 weeks from the time your designs and branding are finalised. After sharing your initial designs, we produce your first samples and send them to you for review. You then provide feedback on fit, construction, or details, and we make any required adjustments. Once you approve the samples, we proceed directly to full production. This clear timeline and approval process help you stay in control of your launch schedule and ensure your products are just as you envisioned.
Our Manufacturing Divisions
Production is carried out through specialised divisions, each focused on its own area of expertise.
Each division operates with its own team, systems, and technical knowledge, ensuring your products are handled by people who understand the category.
Skilled Teams and Specialist Machinery
Our production is supported by over 150 specialised machines and a highly trained team, many of whom have been working with swimwear and activewear for more than ten years.
This level of experience shows in the details. Working with stretch-performance fabrics requires a different level of control, and our teams are trained specifically for this, from handling tension to maintaining consistent shape across every piece.
Alongside production, our sampling studio is run by a dedicated team of over 60 seamstresses and tailors. Each specialist focuses on constructing high-grade swimwear and activewear using machines designed for specific functions, from flatlock and coverstitch to precision strap and binding machines.
This combination of skilled people and purpose-built equipment ensures each garment is made to perform as it should.
Seams are constructed to hold under tension, without breaking or distorting.
Ankle finishes sit clean and close to the body without gaping.
Straps are secured to stay in place once adjusted, without slipping or loosening.
Underwires are set with reinforced construction to prevent movement or breakthrough over time.
Every detail is considered, so the final product feels secure, supportive, and consistent from the first wear to repeated use.
Quality Control
Before packing, every piece passes through multiple stages of quality control.
Measurements, seams, and finishing are checked across sizes and colours to ensure consistency from the first unit to the last.
This is where everything comes together.
Packing
Finished products are packed individually in biodegradable zip-lock bags, with barcodes, brand tags, and fabric labels applied as required.
Orders are prepared in a clean, organised structure, ready for dispatch via DHL or your preferred cargo partner. Typical shipping times to most destinations are 3 to 5 business days, depending on your location and service level selected. Our team can also assist with logistical support to help ensure your delivery arrives smoothly. We provide shipment tracking and documentation, so you know exactly when to expect your inventory.
Everything arrives ready for sale.
