1.Selection of raw materials
The production of flatware & cutlery & silverware must first select suitable raw materials. Common flatware & cutlery & silverware is mainly made of materials such as stainless steel, ceramics, glass and plastic. Among them, 18/10 and 18/0 stainless steel has become the main material for making flatware such as knives, forks and spoons because of its corrosion resistance, easy cleaning and beautiful appearance. Ceramics and glass are mostly used in the production of plates and cups, and are popular for their good appearance and practicality.
In Jieyang China, as cutlery manufacturer, we choose high-quality stainless steel and ceramic raw materials at home and abroad to ensure the quality and safety of our products. At the same time, with the enhancement of environmental awareness, more and more manufacturers have begun to pay attention to the environmental protection of materials and choose recyclable and degradable materials for production.
2.Design and R&D
After the raw materials are determined, the design and R&D stage begins. The design of flatware & cutlery & silverware should not only take into account practicality, but also aesthetics and cultural elements. Many Chinese tableware designers will combine Western design concepts with Chinese traditional culture to create unique products.
Designers usually use computer-aided design (CAD) software for product design to simulate the appearance and function of tableware. After many modifications and adjustments, the design plan is finally determined and the sample production stage is entered.
3.Sample production and testing
Sample production is an important part of the production process. Manufacturers will make preliminary samples according to the design drawings and conduct functional tests and appearance inspections. At this stage, designers and engineers will evaluate the samples several times to ensure that they meet the design requirements and usage standards.
After the samples pass the test, the manufacturer will produce small batches to further test the market response and consumer feedback of the products. This process can not only discover potential problems, but also provide valuable data support for large-scale production.
4.Large-scale production
After sample testing and market feedback, flatware & cutlery & silverware enters the large-scale production stage. The production line is usually divided into multiple processes, including cutting, forming, welding, polishing, glazing, etc. Taking stainless steel tableware as an example, the stainless steel sheet needs to be cut into the required shape first, then formed by stamping or welding, and finally polished to ensure a smooth and flawless surface.
For ceramic tableware, the production process includes steps such as forming, drying, glazing and firing. Each link requires strict control of temperature and time to ensure the quality of the final product.
5.Quality Inspection
In the production process, quality inspection is an indispensable part. Manufacturers usually set up a special quality inspection department to conduct strict inspections on each batch of products. The main inspection items include material composition, appearance quality, dimensional accuracy and durability.
Through a series of quality inspections, ensure that each piece of flatware & cutlery & silverware meets national and industry standards. Only products that have passed strict inspections can enter the market for sale.
6.Market Sales and Promotion
After the production of flatware & cutlery & silverware is completed, manufacturers will conduct market sales and promotion through various channels. In addition to traditional offline sales channels, more and more manufacturers have begun to use e-commerce platforms for online sales in order to better reach consumers.
In terms of market promotion, manufacturers usually participate in various exhibitions to showcase their products and attract potential customers. At the same time, with the help of social media and online advertising, brand awareness and product exposure can be improved.
