  1. 01 What your company does 0:00

    What your company does is the screen where a material or component supplier tells ArmorList what it makes. It lives under My Business, and buyers filter the directory by it.

  2. 02 Your segment 0:11

    Choose Materials and components as your segment, then what you work on: fiber, polyethylene, aramid, ceramics, resins, fabrics, hardware, patches and ID panels, carrier hardware, and trauma pads. ArmorList shows who that connects you with: manufacturers, contract manufacturing, and R and D.

  3. 03 What you can do 0:31

    What you can do asks the questions for your segment: material types, forms and minimum order, plus more capabilities such as standards, test methods, monthly capacity and turnaround. Capacity, minimum order and turnaround are shown to accounts with a plan. Everything here is declared by your company, not verified by ArmorList.

  4. 04 List each material 0:53

    Then list each material under My Listings: type, applications, construction and resin system, areal density, thickness, Berry compliance, country of origin and purchase form, with links to your material page and your technical and safety data sheets. Save a draft, then submit it for review.

  5. 05 Your public page 1:12

    On armorlist.com, every published material gets its own page. The top is open to everyone, the safety data sheet is free for everyone, and the rest opens with an account.

  6. 06 Your materials 1:24

    Your materials, found by the people who build with them.
