Noppa Belt Production Stages

Leather Belt Production: Process Stages

 1. Raw Material Procurement (Raw Hide)

• Raw hide (skin) obtained from large animals is procured.

• Leather is generally supplied from slaughterhouses and preserved by salting before production.

 2. Tanning

• The leather undergoes chemical or vegetable processes to prevent decay and gain flexibility.

• Most common methods: Chrome tanning or vegetable (natural) tanning.

 3. Drying and Resting

• Tanned leather is dried by removing moisture and rested for a period.

• This process allows the leather to stabilize and become ready for processing.

 4. Cutting (Strap Cutting)

• The leather is cut into strips in belt sizes.

• The width and thickness are determined according to the customer or model requirements.

 5. Edge Finishing

• The belt edges are sanded, smoothed, and rounded.

• Then they are coated with edge paint or beeswax.

 6. Dyeing & Polishing

• The leather belt is colored (e.g., black, brown shades).

• Finally, it is polished for shine, water resistance, and aesthetics.

 7. Hole Punching and Accessory Assembly

• Belt holes are punched with a drill or die.

• Buckles, rivets, or stitching are assembled.

 8. Quality Control

• All belts are inspected for shape, dimensions, durability, and aesthetics.

• Defective products are separated, and sound products proceed to packaging.

 9. Packaging and Shipping

• Belts are placed in special boxes or hangers without folding.

• They are prepared for shipping with product information and brand labels.
