Obaili Bag Factory Sampling Room: A Journey from Design to Prototype
In the entire manufacturing process of Obaili bags, the sampling room (prototype room) is the "heart" of the production system. It serves as a crucial hub for transforming design drawings into physical samples. Not only does it shoulder the important task of bringing design concepts to life, but it also acts as a forefront for controlling product quality and optimizing production processes. The functional areas within the sampling room are clearly defined yet closely coordinated, jointly creating an efficient and rigorous sample production chain.
The office area, as the "intelligent core" of the sampling room's operation, undertakes the core function of full process document management. Here, the supervisor of the sampling room systematically collects and classifies important documents provided by the business department, including design drawings, process requirements, and customer orders. Tasks are accurately assigned to corresponding staff according to project needs, kicking off subsequent work. Staff members need to carefully review the sample production orders, and repeatedly verify key information such as size specifications, material selection, color matching, and decorative details with the business department. Only after confirming the accuracy of the information will they initiate the material procurement process, ensuring the accuracy and standardization of sample production from the source.
The pattern making process is the "creative transformation station" of the sampling room. Experienced pattern makers use professional pattern making software or manual tools to meticulously transform two dimensional design drawings into three dimensional patterns based on the artwork provided by the business department. During this process, they need to accurately calculate the shape, size, and splicing methods of each component. While taking into account the structural rationality, practicality, and aesthetics of the bags, they repeatedly deliberate on every line and curve to ensure a perfect fit between design requirements and production process standards. For bags with special shapes or complex structures, pattern makers often need to go through multiple rounds of pattern making and testing to create the most ideal pattern, fully demonstrating their craftsmanship and professionalism.
The cutting area is the "transformative place" where patterns evolve from two dimensional to three dimensional. After obtaining accurate patterns, advanced CNC cutting machines or skilled cutting workers carry out precise cutting of various raw materials according to the patterns. The professional cutting equipment here can control the size and shape errors of the cut pieces within a very small range. Staff also use scientific layout methods to classify and place cut pieces of different materials. This maximizes material utilization while ensuring quality, reducing material waste and improving production efficiency.
The material storage area, as the "logistics hub" of the sampling room, has a clear and efficient management system. This area strictly differentiates between main materials and auxiliary materials. Main materials are stored in separate areas according to different business projects, ensuring easy access for each project. Auxiliary materials are classified in detail according to material types, such as plastic fasteners, hardware fasteners, zipper pulls, zippers, webbing, threads, etc. All materials are neatly arranged with clear labels. Staff quickly locate and select the corresponding materials according to production instructions. After strict quality inspection, the materials are put into the pattern making process, providing a stable material guarantee for sample production.
The sewing area is the "precision workshop" of the sampling room and a key link in sample formation. Skilled sewing workers use sewing machines, edge binding machines, riveting machines and other equipment to precisely sew and assemble the cut materials and accessories according to production instructions and pattern requirements. They not only strive for even and firm stitches but also pay great attention to details such as flat joints and precise installation of decorative parts. With their rich experience and superb skills, they transform scattered cut pieces into exquisite bag samples, giving life to the designs.
After the samples are formed, they will be temporarily stored in the inspection pending area. Quality inspectors will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the finished products in strict accordance with the sampling requirements. Only samples that pass the inspection mark the successful completion of the entire sampling process. Subsequently, the business department will pick up the samples in a timely manner.
In the Obaili sampling room, all areas are closely interlinked and coordinated. From the meticulous review of documents in the office area, the creative conception in the pattern making process, the precise efficiency in the cutting area, the standardized order in material management, to the fine craftsmanship in sewing and the strict inspection of finished products, every link reflects the professionalism and dedication of the team. This is not only a place for sample production but also the birthplace of OBELI's high quality products and the pursuit of excellence, laying a solid foundation for the mass production of bags in terms of quality and process support.
