Application service
Thanks to a dedicated team, we can offer a quick efficient third party application and stapling service Each day the application team assembles studs, staples, rivets, lettering and more on a variety of fabrics and leathers provided by our customers. This service is particularly suited in case of complex applications, for precious materials or emergencies linked to runways and collection presentations. We can offer a complete service including laser cut/ puncture/ dig, die cutting, leather splitting, application and simultaneous multi application of any article.
Chemical and physical tests
Often the schedules and requests from the fashion industry are incompatible with lead times of generalist laboratories. In addition, the nature of the product frequently require specific knowledge of the industry that are missing in generalist laboratories.
We are able to perform internally almost all the chemical tests required by regulations on metal and leather accessories. Among these tests are the Nickel Release, total metal content, extractable metal content, PH, Formaldeyde, and many others. Furthermore, we can test our products and those provided by our customers through physical tests such as Heat and Humidity, Heat & Humidity with leather, China Test, Wet and Dry Cleaning, resistance to wear, etc..
Our customers can benefit from the services of FONTE lab both for FONTE produced articles and for third party articles or raw materials. Our clients can also benefit from precious consultancy on the latest regulations and tests from our trained technicians.
Rapid prototyping and small-lot production
We are specialized in developing new articles and structured to keep pace with the short lead times needed by high fashion brands. Thanks to properly equipped milling and turning machines, as well as a 3d printing workshop, we can provide metal prototypes as soon as 2 days from the drawing approval. Furthermore, we offer the small-lot production service, useful when 50-100 pieces are needed for collections/ runways without bearing the costs and timing for the creation of new moulds.
