With over 23 years of experience in private label manufacturing for footwear, we develop the most convenient one-stop footwear manufacturing service for our customers.

The execution of a project in a Chinese shoe factory necessitates not just employee knowledge but also executive force. Executive force does not imply that you are able to work, but it does imply that you are capable of working. Workflows were born as a result. The workflow plays a role in guiding and supervising the execution of a project to some level.

Examine the Orders’ Content

1 Quantity: Verify that the total number of guest orders and the provided number are the same. If there is a discrepancy, inform the guest and have them confirm it.

2 Unit Price: business units examine the customer’s quotation to confirm the unit price and quantity of the order, as well as to see if the material listed in the customer’s order matches the quotation information. To make adjustments, double-check the costs with the sample room.

3 Materials: business units locate developed sample materials for clients. Inquire with the purchasing department to see if there is any inventory in the warehouse or what supplies can be ordered at the clients’ request. If there are issues with material orders, for example, we can give similar materials as a reference or ask customers to substitute other materials. In our China shoe factory, we utilize our name if the buyer has a different name for the same material. When staying with customers, we use the name they are familiar with.

4Delivery Time: meet the delivery deadlines specified in the customers’ orders. Request that the purchasing department and the production management department confirm the order’s delivery based on the status of the materials ordered and the progress of the production. (Think about this while confirming delivery time: A in accordance with the China shoe factory’s capability and present production progress; B in accordance with customer satisfaction.)

5 Payment Methods: relate to the pre-agreed payment methods of FAX or E-MAIL. Request permission from the general manager to finalize the payment method with the guest (usually L/C at sight or 100% T/T before the move).

6 In the customer’s order, there is additional information (including quality testing) and other criteria. Please double-check with the relevant supervisor and plant manager.

Separation of Duties for Customer Orders

Sewing Machines and Their Use

Sewing Machine Operation Requirements

(1) Make a grid.

1 Make sure the cardboard is clean and ready to draw lines on. Determine if there is a leak or a mistake.

2 Inspect the uppers for quality. Make a list of the products that aren’t good. Count the number using the instruction table as a guide.

3 Align the cardboard used for drawing lines with the uppers. There can’t be any mistakes.

4 Special materials must be tested first. Determine whether or not the drawing line can be discarded.

(2) Fine cloth paste

1 Remove any debris from the area between the surface and the fine cloth.

2 Flatten the uppers but leave an 8mm gap at the edge.

3 When breaking PE paper after attaching fine cloth, see if colloidal particles emerge as a result of cementing.

(3) Tighten the reinforcing bands

1 Depending on the style of shoe and the material needs, choose between 1.5mm cotton yarn and 3mm nylon and cotton yarn reinforcing bands.

2 The purpose of pulling reinforcing bands is to increase the effect of tension on the shoe topline while preventing deformation. Draw a neat line along the edge of the fine fabric. Avoid the phenomenon of inversion.

(4) Assemble

1 The pairing is crucial.

2 Avoid erroneous number grouping and grouping errors.

1 In the midst of the linings, there must be no colloidal particles or other waste.

2 The linings and uppers should be the same size. Especially the upper, which is printed.

3 Avoid wrinkles on the top line of the shoe. Make it as flat as possible.

(5) Linings made of cement

1In the midst of the linings, there must be no colloidal particles or other waste.

2 The linings and uppers should be the same size. Especially the upper, which is printed.

3Avoid wrinkles on the top line of the shoe. Make it as flat as possible.

1 The stitching distance is 12 needles per inch. The margin is 1.5 millimeters.

2 Moderate tension should be applied to the seams’ bottoms and the surface line. Floating threads must be avoided.

3 Backstitching is only done twice. Prevent the seams on the vamp from breaking.

4 Refer to the original shoes or test findings for specific materials.

Quarter Linings (7)

1 Using a TC strip, join the inner and outer quarter linings.

2 The counter lining is fastened to the toe cap according to the notch position. Backstitching should be aligned with the bottom.

Sew Collar Linings (8)

1 Loosen the surface bottom line as much as possible. Floating threads, on the other hand, must be avoided. The topline of the shoe will distort if it is excessively tight.

2 The margin is 1.5 millimeters. The pin spacing is 11 pins per inch.

Sew Shoe Vamp (nine)

1 When sewing the upper of the sandals, pay attention to the surface. Floating threads must be avoided.

2 When sewing the topline of the riding boots, pay close attention to the surface. The interior, the front, the back, and the middle should all be aligned.

2 Xanthan gum is thinner. Groups of glue positions shrink by 1 to 2 mm. There can’t be any overflow.

3 There must be no colloidal particles present. It is not possible to use inferior glue.

(14) Organize the uppers

All silver pen lines, printing lines, glue, and thread residue should be removed.

Cementing Shoe Vamps: A Standard Procedure

Until the glue dries, lower the oven temperature. When the conveyor belt comes to a halt, quickly turn off the oven. Consider the size of the inserter while gluing the shoe vamps. Apply adhesive to the surface. The glue must not extend beyond the inserter’s location. Compare the size of the upper angle before gluing the shoe vamps. After that, apply adhesive.

The Quality Control Standard

Check to see if all of the nails have been extracted. Examine the report in light of the sample quality.

Report any odd situations as soon as possible.

Determine whether products are defective and give them over to cadres or shoe repair specialists to be handled.
