Quality Assurance & Testing Protocols

Quality assurance at Zestlet is not an isolated department—it’s a company-wide discipline. Every phase of production is governed by strict QA protocols developed to ensure durability, safety, compliance, and functional integrity of tactical gear.

Raw Material Inspection

All incoming fabrics, threads, zippers, and webbing undergo SGS-verified raw material testing for tensile strength, colorfastness, and chemical composition. Materials are batch-tested to align with OEKO-TEX and REACH compliance requirements.

In-Process Quality Control

From cutting to stitching, every workstation is integrated with in-line inspection points. Operators follow standard operating procedures (SOPs), and supervisors log real-time checks using Zestlet’s proprietary QA software.

Garment measurements are reviewed against tech packs with ±2mm precision, while stitching integrity, seam alignment, and reinforcements are examined using manual and automated inspection tools.

Product-Specific Testing

Ballistic vests are pressure- and penetration-tested per NIJ 0101.06 standards. Tactical bags undergo dynamic load-bearing tests, simulating 20kg+ field stress. Uniforms are tested for abrasion resistance, thermal retention, and field readiness in varying environments.

Final Audit & Packaging

Before packaging, each item passes through a Final Inspection Zone where QA specialists check for visual defects, compliance with customization specs (e.g., embroidery, Velcro layout), and verify labels and tags.

Garments are barcoded for traceability and packed using moisture-proof, branded packaging under ISO 9001-certified practices.

Third-Party Verification

In addition to internal QA, Zestlet routinely collaborates with SGS, TÜV SÜD, Intertek, and Chesapeake Testing for third-party validation, adding further credibility to its world-class quality system.

This rigorous QA framework is what enables Zestlet to maintain zero-defect deliveries for clients across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, supporting military-grade reliability for every product line.

Whether you're launching a new tactical line or sourcing for a government tender, Zestlet delivers flexibility, consistency, and brand exclusivity.

OEM Tactical Gear Manufacturing

Zestlet works with international clients to convert sketches, tech packs, or reference samples into full-scale tactical gear production. Clients can specify materials, sizing, colors, trims, and features to match unique operational or branding needs. The company’s in-house sampling department can produce pre-production prototypes in just 7–10 working days, with detailed QC reporting included.

Clients range from startup private-label brands to Fortune 500 defense contractors looking for reliable sourcing from a WRAP Gold-certified, ISO-compliant manufacturing base.

Private Label Apparel

For brands wanting end-to-end development, Zestlet provides everything from concept design to final packaging under your label. The services include:

  • Digital mock-ups and 3D garment simulations

  • Sublimation printing and heat transfer logos

  • Velcro-patch customization and embroidery

  • Tactical layout configuration (pockets, reinforcements, MOLLE grids)

The result is a seamless, confidential production process where your brand DNA remains intact while leveraging Zestlet’s advanced manufacturing and global logistics network.

Custom Sizing, Fabric & Finish

Zestlet supports unique sizing charts (e.g., European, US, Middle Eastern) and specialty textiles such as CORDURA®, ripstop, Teflon-coated, or fire-retardant fabrics. Clients may also request custom chemical treatments such as water repellency, anti-IR signature, or antimicrobial coating for extended field use.

Government & Institutional Orders

Zestlet is fully authorized under NATO NCAGE Code ZEST1****5 to manufacture tactical gear for government and defense entities. These orders often require complex specifications, batch traceability, serial number labeling, and multi-level quality audits—which Zestlet executes with precision.

Production Process & Facility Tour

At Zestlet, manufacturing isn’t just about output—it’s about engineering reliability, compliance, and performance into every stitch. The company’s Sialkot-based factory spans over 25,000 sq. ft., housing cutting-edge machinery, skilled labor, and a seamless workflow that allows scalable, custom, and ISO-certified production of tactical gear.

Step 1: Design & Pre-Production

Clients begin with digital consultations, sharing tech packs, CAD files, or physical samples. Zestlet’s in-house design engineers then convert those into production-ready blueprints. Each spec is mapped against material availability, machinery settings, and tolerance thresholds.

A 3D garment prototype may be developed to simulate fit, layout, and mobility before the first fabric is cut.

Step 2: Fabric Cutting

Using automated CAD/CAM cutting systems, each garment panel is precision-cut with minimal waste. Fabric is pre-tested for shrinkage, GSM, and colorfastness. Large-scale cutting tables allow batch production while maintaining uniformity across all sizes.

Step 3: Stitching & Assembly

Sewing floors are divided by product type: shirts, pants, jackets, vests. Stitchers use Juki and Brother industrial sewing machines, configured for double-needle, bar-tack, and flatlock operations. MOLLE systems and Velcro panels are reinforced for field durability.

Zestlet maintains a balanced line layout where each station is optimized for throughput without compromising quality.

Step 4: Quality Control Checkpoints

In-line inspection occurs at every major assembly stage. Supervisors validate stitch count, seam alignment, pocket positioning, and durability markers using calibrated tools. Faulty units are flagged for correction before moving forward.

Step 5: Customization & Branding

If the gear is private-label, this stage includes embroidery, sublimation prints, heat-sealed logos, and product tag insertion. Tactical vests may receive Velcro unit badges or agency insignias as per client design.

Step 6: Final Inspection & Packaging

All finished items are routed to the QA zone for final inspection using ISO 9001 parameters. Products are then packed in moisture-resistant bags with brand labeling and export-ready cartons.

Step 7: Shipping & Export

Zestlet offers both FOB and DDP shipping terms. Orders are dispatched via air or sea freight through approved logistic partners. Shipping documents, certificates of origin, and quality compliance reports accompany every export.

Facility Standards

  • 24/7 CCTV-monitored production lines

  • Climate-controlled fabric storage

  • ISO 14001-compliant waste management system

  • Solar-powered energy support (in select departments)

Sustainability & Supply Chain Ethics

Zestlet is not only a leader in tactical uniform manufacturing—it's also a forward-thinking advocate for ethical and sustainable supply chain practices. The company recognizes that true excellence in manufacturing must balance performance with responsibility to people and the planet.

ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management System

Zestlet’s operations comply with the ISO 14001:2015 standard, ensuring reduced environmental impact through responsible sourcing, waste segregation, and energy-efficient manufacturing. All wastewater from dyeing and finishing processes is treated before discharge, and fabric offcuts are repurposed where feasible.

Organic & Sustainable Textiles

Zestlet is GOTS-certified for the production of organic cotton tactical uniforms and bags. This certification ensures that the cotton is grown without toxic pesticides and that every stage of production—from spinning to final stitching—follows environmental and social compliance protocols.

For clients seeking eco-conscious alternatives, Zestlet also offers tactical apparel made from recycled polyester blends and non-toxic waterproof coatings—a growing demand in military and law enforcement contracts across the EU.

Ethical Labor & Working Conditions

With certifications from WRAP (Gold Level) and amfori BSCI, Zestlet guarantees fair wages, no forced labor, reasonable working hours, and safe, hygienic workspaces for all employees. The company undergoes regular SMETA 4-Pillar audits, which review labor practices, environmental impact, health & safety, and business ethics.

Responsible Sourcing

Zestlet partners only with OEKO-TEX-compliant fabric mills and trims suppliers. This ensures that all raw materials are free of harmful substances and safe for the skin—even in high-friction or high-temperature field conditions.

Sustainable Packaging

For brands committed to eco-friendly branding, Zestlet provides biodegradable packaging and recycled cardboard cartons, with FSC-certified labeling options available upon request.

Through these initiatives, Zestlet supports not just its clients' tactical goals but also their corporate sustainability and ESG benchmarks, delivering gear that performs in the field and supports the future.

Security Standards & Ballistic Testing

When it comes to tactical gear, particularly ballistic protection, lives depend on the details. Zestlet’s ballistic vests, plate carriers, and load-bearing gear are designed with one goal: uncompromised protection. This is why every Zestlet ballistic product is certified, tested, and documented to meet or exceed international protection standards.

NIJ 0101.06 Level IIIA Certification

Zestlet’s tactical vests comply with NIJ Standard 0101.06 Level IIIA, the recognized global benchmark for body armor. These vests offer certified protection against .357 SIG FMJ and .44 Magnum SJHP rounds—tested through Chesapeake Testing Lab in the USA.

Each vest comes with laser-engraved ballistic tags, batch numbers, and verification reports that provide traceability and authenticity.

Multi-Threat Capability

Beyond handgun rounds, Zestlet manufactures modular plate carriers that support Level III and IV ceramic or steel plates, ensuring compatibility with anti-rifle configurations for military and SWAT operations.

Optional features include trauma pads, MOLLE load-bearing systems, side armor inserts, quick-release shoulder straps, and hydration pouch compatibility.

Ballistic Testing Protocol

  • Backface Deformation (BFD): Checked at <44mm using calibrated clay moldings

  • V50 Testing: Conducted to determine armor's velocity resistance point

  • Moisture & Flame Resistance: Verified for NIJ compliance

  • Multi-hit Resistance: Evaluated under repeated impact simulations

Every batch undergoes quality sampling and is submitted for third-party testing before international dispatch. Final products are packaged with complete Ballistic Data Sheets for institutional or law enforcement use.

Security Standard Compliance

In addition to NIJ certification, Zestlet’s protective gear meets these benchmarks:

  • CE Marking (EU PPE Regulation 2016/425)

  • REACH Compliance for material safety

  • OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class II for skin safety

  • ISO 45001:2018 standards for safe production environments

Zestlet’s clients include military contractors, private security agencies, police departments, and international distributors—all of whom rely on battle-tested, third-party-verified ballistic protection that performs under pressure.
