Prototype Sewing at Fieldtex

Fieldtex approaches prototype sewing with a contractor’s mindset. We translate your design idea, whether sketch or spec sheet, into a fully sewn prototype. This gives you a physical sample to test for form, function, and durability before committing to volume manufacturing.

We work on prototypes for pouches, bags, soft goods, protective covers, equipment cases, and other sewn assemblies. Our team understands textile behavior under stress, harsh conditions, and repeated use. Prototypes are built with real-world materials, so your tests yield trustworthy results.

Our Prototype Sewing Process

We handle everything in-house. We take your concept and create a ready-to-test prototype. This helps us keep tight control over quality, speed, and consistency.

Material Preparation & Cutting
1
Material Preparation & Cutting

Prototype development begins with precise material preparation. Approved fabrics, foams, webbings, and hardware are staged and cut to specification using controlled cutting methods to support clean assembly and repeatable results.

  • Automated and manual cutting
  • Material nesting and yield control
  • Kitting for efficient sewing flow
  • Pattern verification and digitization
Sewing Assembly
2
Sewing & Assembly

Sewn assemblies move through dedicated workstations using industrial equipment built for accuracy and durability. Expert sample makers construct the initial units to validate manufacturability and fit.

  • Juki, Consew industrial machines
  • Walking foot machines for thick materials
  • 301, 401, and 504 stitch patterns
  • Reinforced seams and stress-point stitching
Quality control inspection

Quality Control & Inspection

Quality checks remain active throughout prototype sewing. Finished prototypes are inspected before release to confirm construction quality, appearance, and functional performance.

  • ISO 9001:2015 quality management system
  • ISO 13485:2016 compliance for medical products
  • FDA registered facility (3010164139)
  • In-process and final inspections
