Recently, the media team of Allallinfo Group visited Zhongshan Zhifanxi Seamless Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhifanxi") and conducted an in-depth dialogue with Mr. Wang, the founder of the company, focusing on the seamless technology industry. Mr. Wang not only generously shared his entrepreneurial journey, but also gave a comprehensive and detailed elaboration on the current industry situation, future trends as well as the company’s development philosophy.

Entrepreneurial Transformation: Anchoring Seamless Business Opportunities Through E-commerce Exploration

Mr. Wang has been an early participant in the e-commerce wave. As early as 2015, he began selling seamless suits and seamless shirts on e-commerce platforms, with his team once expanding to a size of 50 to 60 members. Initially, they attributed their success to the proficient application of e-commerce operation skills.

However, after venturing into the Chinese-style fashion label sector, Mr. Wang keenly detected new market challenges and opportunities. Chinese-style fashion labels are mostly characterized by elaborate embroidery. As a traditional craft, embroidery plays an important role in the fashion industry thanks to its exquisite stitching, delicate patterns and three-dimensional effects.

Nevertheless, while large-area embroidery delivers striking visual appeal, it can also cause a certain degree of friction against the skin. For some consumers who pursue an ultimate comfortable wearing experience, this has become a key factor to consider.

This also made Mr. Wang realize that while pursuing unique product styles and cultural connotations, comfort is also a key factor in enhancing product competitiveness and meeting the diverse needs of consumers. The previous strong sales of ice silk pants and ice silk T-shirts in the e-commerce business due to their comfortable fabrics further strengthened his determination to focus on comfortable products.

Since it was difficult to find suitable seamless product suppliers in the surrounding area and the R&D costs were high, Mr. Wang resolutely decided to build his own factory and independently develop seamless products. Although the production and R&D process was time-consuming and labor-intensive, Mr. Wang persisted with perseverance and accumulated valuable experience through continuous trial and error.

Mr. Wang holds the view that seamless products conform to the current trend of people pursuing a beautiful and comfortable life, boasting extremely broad market prospects in the future. At present, most domestic seamless products are limited to a semi-seamless state, and there are only a handful of factories that can achieve full-seamless production and offer a complete range of R&D and manufactured product categories.

Due to the high labor costs and complex production processes of full-seamless products, some brands have limited acceptance of them out of cost considerations. To address this, Zhifanxi has taken a different approach by adopting a ready-made stock model, where it only earns production profits without making trade margins. The aim is to enable more consumers to experience and use seamless products.

In the global R&D and manufacturing sector of seamless products, China takes a leading position, which is inseparable from the craftsmanship spirit and continuous efforts of generations of garment practitioners.

The core advantages of seamless products lie in superior material selection and exquisite craftsmanship. Taking the garment industry as an example, product development must adhere to the "Four Integration" principles: stylized design, functionalized style, aestheticized function, and contextualized aesthetics.

By adopting advanced technologies such as laser cutting and ultrasonic welding, seamless products eliminate the friction caused by traditional sewing threads on the human body, thus gaining widespread application in outdoor sports, professional sports and other fields. Their fabric panels undergo high-temperature setting treatment, making the clothes wrinkle-resistant and easy to care for. They can basically retain their original shape after washing, bringing great convenience and comfort to people's daily lives.

R&D-Driven: Holistic Layout to Build Core Competitiveness

Mr. Wang emphasized that R&D is the core driving force behind the development of seamless garment factories. Zhifanxi attaches great importance to R&D initiatives and invests substantial funds in this area each year. Its R&D efforts cover not only style design, but also in-depth research into current temperature conditions, local customs and cultures, people’s dressing habits and psychological changes, so as to create garments tailored to the needs of diverse scenarios. In a narrow sense, R&D encompasses multiple dimensions including fabrics, styles, equipment, craftsmanship, and the functional application scenarios of garments. Different fabric compositions and garment shapes impose distinct requirements on production equipment, making equipment R&D also a critical component.

The production phase is equally critical, and it is essential to scale up R&D achievements for mass replication and volume production. Seamless production processes involve sophisticated procedures that require constant troubleshooting, along with continuous R&D into equipment and technologies. Meanwhile, the company also places great emphasis on data accumulation, believing that early-stage planning and data consolidation can form the company’s core strength and enable the enterprise to gain an advantageous position in the fierce market competition.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Mr. Wang led the media team on a tour of the company's laboratory. The data tests conducted in the laboratory play a crucial guiding role in the production process.

Looking around the laboratory, one can see that Zhifanxi is equipped with a variety of advanced equipment:

1. UV Resistance Testing Equipment: It is capable of testing the UV resistance of fabrics and adhesives, as well as detecting the aging degree of adhesives under low and high temperature conditions, so as to ensure the excellent durability of garments.

2. Automatic Fabric Shrinkage Tester: Mainly used for washing tests, it operates at a speed of 6,000 revolutions per minute, which is far more powerful than household washing machines. It can wash finished garments in accordance with different standards such as national and European standards, and accurately detect the state and fastness of the garments after washing.

3.Tensile Testing Machine: For traditional garments, the tensile strength of the seamed joints is required to reach 140 Newtons to be qualified. The ultrasonic joints of seamless products also need to be tested by this equipment to ensure that they meet the basic requirements and guarantee product quality.

4. Perspiration Tester: It tests the reaction between sweat and fabrics and adhesives, so as to ensure that seamless garments have good moisture-wicking performance and improve wearing comfort.

Through rigorous testing of every piece of fabric and every production process with these advanced devices, Zhifanxi ensures the stable and reliable quality of its seamless products.

Deepen industry expertise and serve consumers wholeheartedly

Mr. Wang is full of expectations for the company’s future. He stated that the company will first ensure the well-being of the team members who have been with him for years, enabling them to achieve desirable returns and earn the respect of others. On this basis, the company will continue to deepen its roots in the seamless industry, expand its business scope steadily, serve a broader consumer base, and drive further development of the industry.

This exchange has enabled sthe media team of Allallinfo to gain a more in-depth understanding of the seamless technology industry. Driven by R&D, Zhifanxi Seamless Technology adheres to a rigorous attitude and pursues its aspirations with unwavering commitment, continuously exploring and advancing in the seamless industry. It is believed that in the future, Zhifanxi is expected to bring more high-quality products to consumers and drive the seamless industry to new heights.
