MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Once you approve our samples, you’re ready to place a bulk purchase order (PO). By this stage, you should have selected your fabrics and colours, decided whether to add prints, and confirmed any accessories to be branded with your custom logo. Ideally, these details are discussed with your merchant during sampling, allowing you to place your bulk PO the moment the samples arrive.
Step 1
Returning Approved Samples
We require your approved samples back before production begins. These are checked against our patterns and first cuts, serving as the master reference to ensure every bulk piece matches the standard you approved.
As importing clothing into Bali is a complex process, we strongly recommend using our company’s courier account to collect the samples.
Step 2
Branding Essentials
Before fabric cutting, we produce and import your custom-branded heat press. To guarantee quality, these are made through the Lululemon factory in Shanghai, ensuring they never flake or crack.
Allow two weeks to process and import.
Tip: The wholesale price we provided you includes one heat press on the inside back of each article. As we only charge 50 cents for this service, it’s best to send and organise these and pay for them during sampling. Assuming you move to bulk, we then credit the amount back to you when we issue the bulk invoice, saving two weeks in your production timeline.
Step 3
Colours, Prints & Accessories
If you’ve requested custom colours, digital prints, or branded accessories, these need to be organised ahead of production.
- Review the requirements on activewearbali.com or swimwearbali.com.
- Provide artwork and files in advance.
- Be aware of the timelines involved to keep your bulk order on schedule.
Step 4
Cutting & Patterns
Once samples are produced, it’s important to take time reviewing them as a full collection. Look at how colours, plains, and prints balance together and how styles mix across the range.
Brands that stay closer to mainstream colour and style choices at first tend to move into production more smoothly and build stronger foundations. Once established, you can expand into bolder or more experimental designs with confidence.
Step 5
Assembly
Bulk orders are assembled in teams to maintain consistency in stitch and finish. Using specialised Japanese and German machines, each style is sewn on equipment designed specifically for that function. We handle reversible and seamless styles, and add features such as wires, cups, and boning before passing the garments on to our Quality Control department.
Step 6
Quality Control
Every piece passes through a three-stage inspection:
- Thread and stitching check
- Fit and measurement verification against approved samples
- Tolerance and finishing inspection
Only after clearing all three stages do we proceed to the final stage.
Step 7
Finishing & Branding
We ensure your collection is retail-ready from the moment it arrives.
- Fabric tags are applied according to your selected fabric
- Any garment tags you requested are attached
- Each article is barcoded
