How the Custom Straw Hat Manufacturing Process Works
A clear process keeps the quote, sample, production, and shipment aligned with the same approved product.
- Clear quotation:
Based on the product, quantity, branding, packing, and delivery needs - Approved sample:
The production reference is confirmed before bulk work begins - Checked shipment:
Product, quantity, packing, and carton details are reviewed before handover
From Brief to Shipment
Four checkpoints keep the order clear and moving.
1. Project Brief
Share the style, quantity, branding, destination, and target date.
2. Sample
Review the physical hat, request revisions, and approve the final version.
3. Production
Bulk production follows the approved sample and confirmed order details.
4. Handover
Final checks cover the hats, packing, cartons, and shipping documents.
Six Stages, One Approved Reference
