How a cap order is made in our factory
A Cap Empire cap order goes through these 12 steps at the New Chuntao factory in Yangzhou:
- Raw materials: fabric, trims and labels for the order are prepared.
- Cloth inspection: the fabric is checked before it is cut.
- Cutting: crown panels and brims are cut.
- Laminating: the front panels are backed so they keep their shape.
- Embroidering: the logo is stitched onto the panels.
- Eyelets: the small air holes are added to the crown.
- Sewing: panels, brim and sweatband are sewn together.
- Inspection: the sewn caps are checked.
- Buttoning: the top button is fixed.
- Ironing: each cap is shaped and pressed.
- Final inspection: the finished order is checked against the approved sample.
- Warehousing: the caps are packed and stored for shipping.
That means three quality checks on every order: the fabric before cutting, the caps after sewing, and the finished goods before they are packed. To see what you prepare at each stage, read how a custom hat order works.
