Manufacturing

Manufacturing rooted in Chaozhou.

ZLEELIFE has tableware product development and manufacturing capability in Chaozhou. Specialised partners across the city's ceramics base take on the processes a range needs.

Those partners are a strength of the cluster, not the shape of the company. ZLEELIFE's own product development and manufacturing capability sits alongside them; where a specialist does a job better, we use one.

From design to carton

Seven stages, one short chain.

Decoration and firing are usually what decide whether a pattern reads as yours or as anyone's. How far those stages sit from forming is what decides how cheap a change is to test.

Ceramic forming

The stage that decides how consistent a range will be. Forming method and tooling are agreed piece by piece and confirmed at sampling.

Glazing

Glaze and surface finish are specified per design, and any hand-finishing is written into the specification rather than assumed.

Decoration

Pattern application is specified per design. The method suited to the look you want is agreed before production.

Firing

Firing follows the schedule the agreed body and glaze require. Anything the result depends on is written into the specification you approve.

Sample development

Sampling scope is agreed at the start of a project. Buyers decide on pieces they can hold, rather than on a screen.

Quality control

Inspection scope is set by the specification agreed at sampling. What is checked, and what is not, is set out in writing with the order.

Packaging

Retail, gift and export packing, developed with the order so the presentation and the carton are planned together.

Figures and documents

What we can confirm, and what we send on request.

Factory statistics are only worth anything if they are accurate and current. So we do not publish them here.

Tell us which of the items on this list you need and we will send them along with the enquiry they belong to. If a document does not exist — a certification we do not hold, a test report we cannot produce — we would rather say so clearly than send a general brochure.

  • Floor area and production footprint
  • Headcount by function
  • Monthly capacity by category
  • Current export markets
  • Factory certifications and audit reports
  • Food-contact and material test reports

Next step

Ask for what you need to qualify us.

Buyers and auditors ask for different things at different stages. Send the list and we will answer it directly.
