1. Material selection
Panels, synthetic leather, foam, bladders, latex, stitching thread, prints, and accessories are selected to match the product level.
2. Cutting & printing
Panels or components are cut, printed, embossed, and prepared for assembly.
3. Assembly
Products are stitched, bonded, molded, or assembled depending on the item type.
4. Inflation, shaping & balancing
Balls and shaped items are checked for weight, rebound, circumference, and panel consistency.

Logos, tags, cartons, and final QC are completed before dispatch.
