INDUSTRIAL PRACTICES
IN THE GARMENT
INDUSTRY
Fabric manufacturing is
theprocess of converting
fibers into fabrics. It is
the foundation of garment
production because the
quality of fabric
determines the quality of
the final garment.
FABRIC MANUFACTURING
7.
The first stepin fabric
manufacturing is selecting
the right type of fiber.
Fibers may be natural, such
as cotton, silk, or wool, or
synthetic, such as polyester,
nylon, and acrylic. The type
of fiber chosen affects the
texture, durability, and
appearance of the fabric.
FIBER SELECTION
8.
Once fibers areselected,
they are spun into yarns.
This process may be done
using methods like ring
spinning, rotor spinning,
or air-jet spinning. Yarn
production prepares the
fibers for the next stage
of fabric formation.
YARN PRODUCTION
DYEING
Dyeing is theprocess of
applying color to
textiles. This step
improves the fabric’s
aesthetic value and
allows it to meet fashion
and market demands.
16.
STAGES OF DYEING
Dyeingcan be done at
different stages of
textile production:
1.Fiber Dyeing- applies
color before fibers are
spun into yarn.
METHODS OF DYEING
1.Batch Dyeing- immerses fabric
in a dye bath.gradually
transfers dye from a dyebath to
a textile material within the
same equipment, often involving
circulation of either the
fabric, the dye bath, or both,
to ensure the dye exhausts into
the fibers.
21.
METHODS OF DYEING
2.Continuous Dyeing- is an
industrial textile process
where fabric moves through a
series of stages, including
dye application, fixation
with heat or chemicals, and
washing, in a single,
continuous operation.
22.
METHODS OF DYEING
3.Printing- applies color in
specific designs and patterns,
often using modern digital
printing machines.Digital
printing uses an inkjet
printer with fabric sheets or
treated fabric for detailed,
photo-realistic designs.
23.
FINISHING
Finishing is thefinal
stage of fabric production.
It improves the look, feel,
and functionality of
fabrics, making them more
attractive and suitable for
specific uses.
24.
MECHANICAL FINISHES
Calendaring- isa mechanical
finishing process that
involves passing fabric
between heated, high-pressure
rollers to flatten it and
create various surface
effects, smooths the fabric
and gives it a glossy effect.
25.
MECHANICAL FINISHES
Sanforizing- isa
mechanical treatment
applied to woven fabrics,
most commonly cottons like
denim, to pre-shrink them
by using steam, heat, and
pressure.It prevents
fabrics from shrinking.
26.
MECHANICAL FINISHES
Brushing andraising- are
similar mechanical fabric
finishing processes that
lift surface fibers to
create a soft,and improve
thermal properties, in
short it creates a soft,
fuzzy texture for comfort.
5 KEY DEFECTSIN
CLOTHING THAT
QUALITY CONTROL
INSPECTORS LOOK OUT
FOR
36.
Issues like fabric
tears,holes,or
printing errors can
affect the overall
appearance and quality
of the garment.
FABRIC DEFECTS
37.
STITCHING ERRORS
Problems likeuneven
stitching, loose
threads, or broken seams
can compromise the
garment's durability and
construction.
38.
SIZING ISSUES
Garments thatare not
made to the correct size
or measurements can lead
to fit problems, making
the garment unwearable
or uncomfortable.
39.
COLOR INCONSISTENCIES
Variations incolor
shade or tone between
different parts of the
garment, such as between
the body and sleeves,
can be a defect.
40.
HARDWARE ISSUES
Problems withzippers,
buttons, or other
hardware, such as broken
zippers, loose buttons,
or mismatched buttons,
can affect the garment's
functionality and overall
quality.
41.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
•Is a process of making garments
from raw materials to delivery.
• Includes fabric sourcing,
production, transport, and
distribution.
• Ensures products are made on time
and reach customers efficiently.
42.
• Use ofeco-friendly fabrics
and energy-saving methods.
• Recycling waste and reducing
pollution in production.
• Fair treatment of workers with
safe conditions and fair wages.
SUSTAINABILITY & ETHICAL PRACTICES
43.
COMPLIANCE & CERTIFICATION
•Following laws, safety, and
industry standards.
• Certifications (e.g., ISO, Fair
Trade) prove the quality and
ethical practices.
• Builds trust with customers and
shows responsibility.
MANUFACTURING DEPARTMENT
This iswhere raw materials
like fabrics, zippers, and
buttons are checked.
The goal is to make sure they
are strong, clean, and free
from defects before use.
Good quality control here
prevents waste and problems
later in production.
47.
CUTTING DEPARTMENT
This sectionis where fabrics
are cut into garment pieces.
Quality control ensures the
fabric is laid properly and
cut accurately according to
patterns.
Proper cutting avoids
mistakes in size, shape, and
fitting, making sewing
easier.
48.
SEWING DEPARTMENT
The sewingdepartment is where all the
cut fabric pieces are stitched
together to make a complete garment.
It is the heart of garment production
because this is where clothes actually
take shape.
51.
FINISHING DEPARTMENT
The finishingdepartment
is the last step of
garment production. Here,
clothes are cleaned up,
pressed, labeled, and
checked for quality so
they look neat and ready
to sell.
