Sample first
Every new design is made as a sample and approved by you before bulk production. Your approved sample becomes the reference for checking the order.
How sampling worksHow custom karate mitts and protectors are made
Pads and protectors are layered foam cores wrapped in a stitched outer, with straps and handles built to take repeated impact.
Specification
Shape, size, foam thickness, outer material, strap layout and branding are agreed in writing.
Cutting
Outer panels are cut from leather, PU or vinyl; foam layers are cut to the pad's shape.
Foam core
High-density and softer foams are laminated into the core so the pad absorbs strikes without bottoming out.
Branding
Logos and target marks are printed, embossed or embroidered on the outer panels.
Stitching and binding
The outer is stitched around the core, edges are bound, and straps, buckles, handles or hook-and-loop closures are reinforced and sewn in.
Inspection and packing
Seams, strap strength, fit and branding are checked against the approved sample before packing.
Your written specification and approved sample decide the exact build. How all our gear is made
