At My Sample Factory

At My Sample Factory, we believe that great shoes start long before the stitching or assembly process. The very foundation of every pair we craft lies in the precision cutting stage — a critical, often underappreciated step that defines both the quality of the final product and the efficiency of our production.

Why Cutting Matters More Than You Think

Cutting is not just about shaping materials; it is the operation that directly impacts two of the most important factors in footwear manufacturing:

Quality Control

If a component is cut even slightly out of spec, it can create a ripple effect of problems down the line — from uneven stitching to a poor fit and an unprofessional finish. At My Sample Factory, we eliminate these risks before they begin.

Material Efficiency

Cutting is the only stage where significant material savings can be achieved. Through expert nesting and precision, we minimize waste, which allows us to offer competitive pricing without compromising on the quality of the materials we use.

This dual importance is why we invest so heavily in perfecting our cutting process.

Our Commitment to Perfect Conditions: The 1000 Lux Standard

One vital element in achieving consistent, high-quality cuts is often overlooked: lighting. Poor lighting leads to poor cutting.

To ensure our cutters can see every detail clearly, we adhere to the SATRA recommendation of a minimum 1000 lux for our cutting stations. This means every work area is brightly lit from above, eliminating shadows cast by the operator that could obscure lines or material defects.

For particularly challenging materials like white leather, we go a step further. We use side lighting at the same level as the cutting surface, turning off overhead lights to minimize glare and reflections. This allows our team to spot even the faintest blemishes, ensuring only pristine material moves forward.
