5-Step Integrated Sourcing Process
From initial technical inquiry to final 4-point inspection and container dispatch, discover how our structured production workflow ensures transparency and absolute quality control at every stage.
Step 1: Technical Specification & Inquiry
Submit your target GSM, composition, width, and application requirements to our Yiwu sales desk (`sales@chantrutex.com`). Our engineers will match exact running stock or formulate custom construction specs.
Step 2: Lab Dip & Quality Sample Verification
We dispatch physical A4 quality swatches and computerized PANTONE TCX lab dip cuttings directly to your office via DHL Express for physical hand-feel and shade approval within 4 business days.
Step 3: Pilot Run / Contract Finalization
Upon lab dip sign-off, we finalize the bilingual export sales contract detailing exact tolerances (<3% shrinkage), FOB container pricing, payment terms, and delivery schedules.
Step 4: Mill Production & In-line QA
Knitting/weaving and low-water airflow dyeing begin across our Dongyang manufacturing network, monitored continuously by automated optical cameras and stenter heat-setting.
Step 5: 4-Point Inspection & Container Dispatch
100% table inspection under American Standard 4-Point rules. Approved rolls are barcode-tagged, wrapped in moisture-proof tubing, and loaded into containers at Ningbo/Shanghai port.
