Seekingtex
Factory & Manufacturing
Advanced textile manufacturing — from yarn to finished functional fabric
Kunshan Seeking Tex&Tech Co., Ltd controls every stage of textile production — from the arrival of raw fibers and yarns to the final inspection of finished fabric rolls. Our manufacturing facility in Kunshan, Suzhou houses dedicated workshops for knitting/weaving, dyeing, finishing, coating, lamination, and quality testing.
By integrating R&D, prototyping, manufacturing, and testing under one roof, we eliminate the inefficiencies of fragmented supply chains and maintain direct control over fabric quality, material selection, and delivery timelines. Every roll that leaves our workshop is made by our people, on our equipment, to our standards.
Workshops
Manufacturing Workshops
Knitting & Weaving
Advanced circular knitting machines and rapier weaving looms produce high-quality fabric substrates. Computer-controlled tension systems ensure consistent fabric density and uniform structure across every roll.
Dyeing & Finishing
Precision dyeing workshop with programmable jet dyeing machines and padding lines. Color matching via spectrophotometry ensures batch-to-batch consistency. Finishing processes include heat setting, sanforizing, and anti-pilling treatments.
Functional Coating & Lamination
Coating lines apply PU, PVC, silicone, and acrylic finishes for waterproof, UV-blocking, and antibacterial properties. Lamination lines bond membranes and functional layers with precise temperature and pressure control.
Printing & Embossing
Digital printing and rotary screen printing for custom patterns and branding. Embossing and calendering lines add texture, gloss control, and surface effects for specialized applications.
Inspection & Rewinding
Automated inspection lines scan every meter of fabric for defects using vision systems. Fabric is rewound, measured, and packaged according to customer specifications.
Quality Testing Laboratory
Dedicated quality lab equipped with standardized testing equipment for UPF rating, waterproofness, tensile strength, abrasion, colorfastness, and dimensional stability. Operates independently from production.

Production Flow
From Yarn to Finished Fabric
Every fabric batch passes through 6 production stages with QC checkpoints at every step. No shortcuts, no skipped inspections.
Material Receiving & Incoming QC
All incoming raw materials are logged by batch/lot number in our ERP system. Fibers, yarns, chemicals, and auxiliaries are quarantined until QC sign-off.
Fiber composition verification, yarn count (Ne), twist per meter, chemical purity analysis, MSDS review
100% of batches tested. Reject if composition deviates >2%, chemical purity < spec, or any impurity detected
Knitting / Weaving
Yarns are knitted or woven into fabric substrates on circular knitting machines or rapier looms. Machine parameters are set per spec for weight, density, and width.
Fabric weight (g/m²) every 500 m, width measurement hourly, visual defect scan, stitch density check
Weight tolerance ±5%, width tolerance ±1 cm. Any structural defect (holes, slubs, press-off) = stop and inspect 100% of batch
Dyeing & Finishing
Greige fabric enters processing — scouring, bleaching, dyeing, and finishing. Programmable jet dyeing machines ensure precise color application. Heat setting stabilizes dimensions.
Color matching via spectrophotometer (ΔE < 1.0), shade band assessment, pH verification, dimensional measurement, hand feel evaluation
ΔE ≤ 1.0 vs approved standard. Shade band: A-grade only. Dimensional shrinkage ≤ 3% (AATCC 135). Reject if any parameter fails
Functional Coating / Lamination
Fabric receives functional finishes — PU coating for waterproofness, UV-blocking additives for UPF, antimicrobial treatments, or membrane lamination. Coating thickness and cure temperature are precisely controlled.
Coating weight (g/m²), adhesion strength (peel test), hydrostatic head test (waterproof), UPF measurement, spray rating test, air permeability
Coating weight ±5 g/m². Hydrostatic head ≥ spec min. UPF ≥ 50+ for sun protection. Spray rating ≥ 4 for water repellency
Testing & Quality Hold
Finished fabric samples are sent to the quality laboratory for comprehensive testing. Rolls are held in quarantine until all test results are approved and recorded.
UPF rating (UV Standard 801), tensile strength (ASTM D5034), tear strength (ISO 13937), abrasion (Martindale), colorfastness (ISO 105 series), antibacterial (AATCC 100), dimensional stability (AATCC 135)
100% of batches tested per protocol. Any parameter below spec = batch re-evaluated. Failed batches are downgraded or rejected — never shipped as first-quality
Final Inspection & Packing
Final visual inspection under standardized lighting. Fabric is inspected for surface defects, color consistency, width uniformity, and weight verification. Rolls are labeled, wrapped, and packed for shipment.
Full visual inspection per ASTM D5430, grade point system, roll length/weight verification, label accuracy, packaging integrity
AQL 2.5 for major defects (per ISO 2859). Zero tolerance on performance defects. 100% of rolls visually inspected

Traceability
Material Tracking & Batch Control
Every batch of raw material is assigned a unique lot number in our ERP system. From arrival through production to the finished fabric roll, each batch's bill of materials links back to the original supplier lot. This enables full upstream traceability for any quality or compliance inquiry.
