You may be wondering, “Why did you choose a factory in China?” We get it - most of our competitors add to the stigma that all made in China products are super cheap and don’t last. This is because they opt for the cheapest possible materials and forgo any quality control in order to save a buck. For us, it all boiled down to the fact that diamond painting was actually invented in China. We were therefore confident that we would not only find the best factory over there, but also be able to use the highest quality materials to produce our Diamond Canvas Kits™.
Once we chose our factory, the fun began! Every piece and component of our kits had to be completely customized. Each individual tool kit accessory, canvas, instructional guide, packaging design and box was designed by our team, then implemented and developed by the factory.
For the diamonds themselves, we opted for a high grade plastic rather than the recycled plastic diamonds our competitors use. This ensures that we have the sparkliest and most vibrant diamonds so that each design emulates the original art piece as closely as possible (watch our factory video HERE). All of our diamonds are 2.5mm square drill bits, as we think these look nicer than the round bits which leave the corners empty. And yes, we do include 20% more diamonds than you really need to ensure there are no missing diamonds in your kit!
Here you can see our diamonds being separated and packaged in our manufacturing facility: (watch our factory video HERE). This machine has been programmed to package the right colour combinations for the designs - how cool is that?
While the accessory kits were coming together and the diamonds were being packaged, we were also creating our actual diamond canvases!
