Question 1

Q1. What technology does Kellogg use to ensure perfect design-to-pattern conversion?

Accepted Answer

A: We utilize advanced 3D digital pattern-making CAD software that allows us to simulate the drape and tension of heavyweight fabrics (such as 500+ GSM fleece) on digital avatars before we cut a single inch of fabric. This technology eliminates pattern errors and ensures that the structured, oversized streetwear drape you envision is replicated 100% accurately in the final physical garment.

Question 2

Q2. How do your automated cutting systems benefit bulk wholesale buyers and growing labels?

Accepted Answer

A: Unlike traditional hand-cutting which introduces human error, we employ automated computer-controlled CNC fabric cutting machines. For wholesale buyers, this computerized precision guarantees a strict size tolerance of under ±1.5cm across all size gradings (from XS to XXL+), ensuring identical fits and seam alignment across bulk production runs of tens of thousands of pieces.

Question 3

Q3. How do you technically prevent heavy 100% cotton garments from twisting along the side seams after washing?

Accepted Answer

A: Side seam twisting occurs when the knit grain of fabric is cut under tension. To prevent this, we use a specialized Fabric Relaxation System. All custom-knitted fabrics are untensioned and rested flat for 24–48 hours before automated cutting. This mechanical relaxation aligns the warp and weft yarns, ensuring that even after aggressive industrial vintage washes, the side seams of your hoodies and tees remain perfectly straight.

Question 4

Q4. What printing technologies do you use, and how do you prevent puff prints from cracking or peeling?

Accepted Answer

A: We operate state-of-the-art automatic screen printing presses and industrial curing systems. For 3D puff print and heavy inks, we use premium OEKO-TEX certified plastisol and silicone-based inks, which are run through multi-zone temperature-regulated tunnel dryers. This precise thermo-curing ensures the print bonds molecularly with the heavy cotton fibers, so the graphics retain their shape, height, and elasticity even after industrial washes.

Question 5

Q5. What are your technology specs for high-end streetwear embroidery, and can you execute fine detail?

Accepted Answer

A: We utilize computer-guided multi-head Tajima and Barudan industrial embroidery machines. Our digitizing team programs precise stitch directions, density thresholds, and underlay planning to ensure heavy-stitch designs (including chenille, varsity applique, and 3D puff embroidery) lay perfectly flat on 400–600 GSM fabrics without causing fabric puckering or density distortion.

Question 6

Q6. How do you technically manage colorfastness and control shade consistency across bulk dye runs?

Accepted Answer

A: We control color through digital spectrophotometers and computerized dye vat programming. We cross-reference all dye runs against Pantone TCX/TPX standards. Once a lab dip is approved, the precise chemical-to-water ratio is locked digitally. This digital color matching, combined with specialized post-dye fixation treatments, guarantees a commercial colorfastness rating of Grade 4+ (against both rubbing and washing).

Question 7

Q7. How do you achieve aggressive vintage/acid washes without damaging the seams and stitching thread?

Accepted Answer

A: Heavy washes can easily corrode standard sewing threads, causing seams to unravel. To prevent this, we exclusively sew wash-designated collections with premium, high-strength corespun polyester-wrapped threads (such as Coats Epic). Our technical team also runs physical tension-testing on seams post-wash to ensure that while the fabric achieves the desired worn-in vintage look, the structural integrity of the seams remains flawless.

Question 8

Q8. Do you run formal laboratory tests on custom fabrics before initiating bulk cutting?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes, always. Every batch of custom-knitted fabric undergoes internal lab testing before proceeding to production. We test for:

Dimensional Stability: Shrinkage rates under standard washing cycles.

Colorfastness: Resistance to color bleeding, water, and crocking (dry/wet rubbing).

Tensile & Tear Strength: To ensure the fabric doesn't rip under stress.

Anti-pilling limits: To maintain a clean, premium surface texture.

Question 9

Q9. How does your inline quality control technology assist remote growing brands during production?

Accepted Answer

A: We integrate digital QC tracking across our assembly lines. As your order progresses through fabric-checking (on illuminated inspection machines), sewing, embellishment, and final packaging, our QC technicians log measurements and defects in real-time. This system allows us to send comprehensive digital QC reports and high-resolution media updates directly to your dashboard, giving you total peace of mind without needing to travel.

Question 10

Q10. Can you integrate advanced tracking technology like QR codes, NFC tags, or RFID chips into the garments?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes. To support tech-forward streetwear brands and wholesalers managing massive inventory logistics, we can source, program, and integrate RFID tags, NFC chips, and customized QR code wash labels seamlessly into your private labeling setup. This facilitates easy inventory tracking, warehouse logistics, and authentic brand verification for your end customers.
