Our Production Process

Every RattanCraft piece passes through a disciplined 8-step production process before it reaches your warehouse.

01
Raw Material Selection

We source premium rattan poles from certified suppliers in Kalimantan and Sulawesi. Every batch is inspected for diameter consistency, moisture content, and structural integrity before entering production.

02
Material Treatment

Rattan is fumigated, heat-treated, and kiln-dried to meet international phytosanitary standards. This eliminates pests and ensures dimensional stability across varying climates.

03
Frame Bending & Shaping

Skilled craftspeople use steam-bending techniques to shape rattan frames. Templates and jigs ensure dimensional accuracy and consistency across production runs.

04
Frame Assembly

Frames are joined using traditional binding techniques combined with modern adhesives and screws where required for structural strength and load-bearing performance.

05
Handweaving

Experienced weavers apply rattan peel or PE rattan to create the decorative and functional surfaces. Most weaving patterns take 4–8 hours per piece depending on complexity.

06
Finishing & Painting

Natural, stained, or painted finishes are applied in multiple coats in our dedicated spray booth. Water-based and UV-resistant lacquers are available for outdoor products.

07
5-Stage Quality Control

QC inspections occur at raw material intake, post-assembly, post-weaving, post-finishing, and pre-packing stages. Pre-shipment inspection by third parties (SGS, Bureau Veritas) is available on request.

08
Packing & Export

Products are individually wrapped in PE foam or bubble wrap, packed in strong export cartons, and loaded into containers with professional strapping and load securing.

5-Stage Quality Control

Our quality control system is built into every stage of production — not just the end. This minimises defects and ensures consistent quality across your entire order.

1
Raw Material Intake Inspection

Diameter, moisture, and pest inspection of all incoming rattan

2
Post-Assembly Structural Check

Frame dimensions, joint strength, and load testing

3
Weaving Pattern & Tension QC

Pattern consistency, tension uniformity, and surface finish

4
Finishing Colour & Coverage Check

Colour matching vs. approved sample, coverage, and sheen level

5
Pre-Shipment Final Inspection

Full AQL sampling, packing check, and export document review
