Хочу спробувати себе в ролі баєра та зайти в ресейл через покупки з-за кордону. Поки на етапі вивчення теми і розбираюсь, як усе працює на практиці.
Цікавить, як ви починали, де шукали перших постачальників, які сервіси використовуєте для викупу та доставки, і на що варто звернути увагу на старті.
Також цікавить чи це ще акутально та чи можна вийти на дохід в 1500 тисячі долларів на місяць
After several attempts to set up a small production line for plate carriers using Cordura 500D/1000D, webbing, and multi-layer assemblies, it became clear that the main limitation isn’t the material - it’s the sewing machine. At first it seems like any industrial machine would handle it, but in practice the problems start at thickness transitions, MOLLE areas, and shoulder load-bearing points.
My household sewing machine is not failing because of power, but because of material feeding. The issue is that a plate carrier consists of constant 6 - 12 layer stacks, where fabric, webbing, and Velcro create very sharp thickness changes. Without a compound feed system, the seam starts to shift, and you get skipped stitches and weak points.
I need a proper industrial machine that can handle this type of work - one that provides stable feeding and consistent stitch control on dense materials. The most important thing is that in plate carriers, critical load points cannot be sewn with a standard straight stitch, so a bartack machine is absolutely necessary for shoulder areas, MOLLE attachment points, and cummerbund connections.
I’m currently looking for a reliable supplier for industrial sewing machines - ideally someone who can also handle delivery and help set everything up, including the tables.
I’m specifically setting up for leather bag production, so I need something that can handle real leather, thick materials, and multiple layers without struggling. Looking for a proper setup a solid walking foot or heavy-duty machine, the right needles, thread, presser feet, and a sturdy table that doesn’t shake or move around while working.
Would be great if the supplier can help put everything together as a complete, ready-to-use setup, not just sell the machine.
If you’ve worked with someone you trust or had a good experience, I’d really appreciate any recommendations
