Specialized in Hunting Decoys Development & Production

Timing is everything with new products, knowing when to get started will make a different for a product's success. Developing your product requires design, development and prototyping. So don't do it alone, we have plenty of resources available to help you go through this journey.

At BC eCommerce Industries, we provide full services for our clients. Services included 3D drawing, prototyping, tooling, and developed samples. They will be sent to our clients for approval and tested. As a hunting decoys developer, we have our own factory in China, we have blow-mold and injection mold machines that can produce small to large products. Another strength we have is of course excellent paint job, a durable and realistic paint scheme of a decoy/product can attract buyers easily.

Here are some of the steps and services that we provide for our clients from beginning to end:

Prototyping

Idea always comes first before turning into a product. Prototyping is the first step of creating a model closely resembling the actual product itself. Prototypes allow you to evaluate the design and prove of concept, test the fitting between pieces, make adjustment and improvement before turning to an expensive tooling process.

One of the prototyping method could be a carving on wood/clay with reference to a picture or a model in which it resembles a duck, goose or turkey. The style, the expression and the feather detail will all be carved into this clay model. The finished clay model will go through the adjustment and approval process by our customer before we move to the tooling phase.

Blow-mold Tooling

The tooling process begins after a cast is created. It takes about 3-4 weeks to complete the alloy mold. Once the mold is done, the factory will have to perform mold testing to produce some plastic samples. There could be some fine tuning on the mold if required.

When plastic samples are produced during the test run, the factory will record the time it takes to mold one decoy, they also put a decoy on scale to check the weight to make sure it complies to the specified weight by our client.

At this stage, molded samples will be painted according to customer's specification, and they will be sent to the customer for approval. When customer sign-off on the paint scheme and color, paint samples became the paint master for production.

Plastic Production

At BC eCommerce Industries, we have plenty of blow-mold machines that can produce decoys in various sizes. We have small machines that can produce items as small as decoy heads, medium size machines for producing duck decoys and large machines that can produce over-size goose decoys which they are as large as 26 inches in length.

Plastic decoys that came out of the machine will be checked for shape or scratch marks to make sure they comply to specification. Good decoys will also be put on scale to check for weight, then check for thickness all around to ensure durability.

Painting

We have dedicated the third level of our building for painting and flocking decoys. There are two painting booth to apply base/premier coat for the decoys. Two painting assembly lines for spray paint decoys, each worker is assigned to apply one to two color to a decoy, and the decoy is being passed to the next person to apply the next color. Our QC managers will inspect the paint job while the decoys are being put on the shelves for drying.

These 2 painting assembly lines give us the flexibility to paint 2 kind of decoys at the same time.

We also have two rooms specifically designed to perform flocking and drying, goose heads and bodies are some of the most commonly application for flocking. To shorten the drying time during production, we put the flocked heads and bodies in the heating booth.

Quality Check

Our QC staff are being trained to inspect paint job and durability before they are assigned to the task. We know how important it is to provide quality products for our customers, and that is why we check the decoys at least three times before it goes in a box. Decoys are being checked for defects when it first came out of the blow-mold machine, we check for shape and scratches, if a decoy did not form right or got deep scratches, it will be rejected.

Painted decoys are being inspected by QCs for color and paint scheme, if there is a color missing or the color do not match the paint master, it will be rejected and send back to the painting line to get it corrected.

Decoys that passed our QC inspection will go to packaging, and QCs will perform a final inspection while the decoys are being packed in a box.

Packaging

Our management team will make sure all packaging materials are ready by the time painted decoys passed their inspection. In most cases, floating decoys are ready to be packed in a box without assembly work.

Field decoys and motion decoys however, may require some assembling works, they will be sent to the assembling area for hardware installation. Other accessories such as decoy stands, poles, batteries, charger, etc. will be put inside each package by the packaging team.

Shipping

When merchandize are ready for shipping, our Shipping Department will arrange the booking of containers, file the appropriate paperwork, and deliver the container to a designated port. The port that closest to our factory is Shenzhen Yiantan.

Our Shipping Department do perform the 7-point inspection for each container before loading, we do exercise C-TPAT security at the factory because most of our containers are going to US.

With the size of our facility, we have room to hold two 40 foot container worth of merchandize, and we can ship two 40ft at the same time as well. Our courtyard allows us to load merchandize onto the container without much effort. Pictures and shipping documents will be sent to our customer for viewing.

We want to provide complete service/package for our customers so they don't have to look for suppliers by themselves. We have been in business for a long time and we have good connection to various suppliers.
