Best Answer

There are a range of parachute manufacturers based around the world. It is common for manufacturers to be separated into parachutes and containers. The container is the 'ruck-sack harness' which holds the folded parachute.

Once you have placed an order, the parachute will be cut to size of a big laser cutting table. Then the pieces are assembled and checked by riggers.

Parachutes were originally made of silk, but now they are probably made of an artificial material like nylon.
