Our manufacturing is managed by a group of professionals with expertise in quality, production, and logistics. We also have our own fleet of vehicles for product transportation, an import/export department for follow-up all the way until final destination.

The product goes through a final-audit process within the plant, and then, prior being loaded into the containers, it passes an exhaustive shipping audit, to guarantee that the final product to be shipped fulfills all requirements, specifications, and quality required by our customers.

We are professionals in the screen print area; we use state-of-the-art technology, and the highest-quality inks, free of phthalates and damaging chemicals, being coherent with our policy of environmental respect.

We develop and produce samples for our customers in different types of fabric and with various printing techniques. We also generate technical sheets to work as guides for our subcontracted parties, according to our customers comments and approvals.

Our team members in the production and quality areas handle the follow-up and adequate control of our screen print, embroidery, laundry subcontractors.

DIGITAL SUBLIMATION

Our textile sublimation process allows us to get full-colored images, with high quality, and better hand feel. This department is in charge of graphic development, digital printing, thermal transfer to fabric, and garment manufacturing.

Graphic development allows us to create customized garment patterns, using the customer-required specifications as basis, since the customer would decide measurements, designs, and specific colors in each of the designs.

For the digital printing of the graphic art, we have high-technology equipment: Mimaki printers that are specifically calibrated with imported paints and paper, using state-of-the-art software for the handling of big-size files, as well as various quality formats and photographic details, equipment that is kept in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment.

Everything in order to guarantee the quality of paints and paper, making sure that the printing is high-quality and precise. In the thermal-transfer area, the design transferring is done with an equipment similar to a grille (AIT), which keeps temperature and speed constant with the flow, as it is necessary to comply with a perfect quality in the cloth sublimation, inside a controlled environment, with smoke extractors and constant temperature.

Our garment manufacturing is done based on the building specifications required by the customer, using the Leas Manufactures method, in order to guarantee a 100% quality, the complying with export dates for each order, and having a one-piece minimum order.

QUALITY CONTROL

The quality-management system is essential part of our comprehensive policy, developed to satisfy the requirements and needs from our customers.

It is designed with policies, procedures, and resources – both human and physical – in order to guarantee the product from fabric up to final product. Every garment, we manufacture starts with a definition of the essential variables for input - KPIV (key process input variables) and essential variables for output - KPOV (key process output variables).

EL TRAZO's quality comes from the inspection of accessories, quality-control of the garments using a 4-point system rule, patterns audit, cutting review, approvals prior to production in line, inspection on the final line, washing testing, and laboratory.

Our quality-control department is completely independent from the other departments. The implementation of a comprehensive quality-management system has served as launching platform to reach our goals, focused on the continuous improvement of our actions in the textile/garment sector, elevating our competitiveness.
