What is Clothing Manufacturing?
Clothing manufacturing includes numerous operations necessary to make a garment. It includes processes like cutting, sewing and finishing. The whole manufacturing process breaks down into a number of sub-operations needed for constructing a particular garment. Some of these operations vary depending on the type of equipment available, work methods used and workers' skills.
Pre-Production
To minimise shrinkage problems, the fabrics are sent for a pre-shrunk wash. Any changes to the details like fitting, print colours, size, position will be finalised in a pre-production sample before bulk production starts.
Bulk Production
After confirmation and receiving of the final approved samples, purchase order, artwork and the down-payment, the lead times for manufacturing apparel will generally take from 3-6 weeks.
Quality Assurance
To minimise shrinkage problems, the fabrics are sent for a pre-shrunk wash. Any changes to the details like fitting, print colours, size, position will be finalised in a pre-production sample before bulk production starts.
Packaging
In the clothing manufacturing world, we understand that the delivery is important. All items are steam ironed, neatly folded, packed individually into poly bags and boxed before shipping to the final destination.
Clothing Manufacturing Consists Of the Following Steps:
1. Pre-production.
Including materials sourcing, pattern making, and sampling.
2. Production planning.
The planning team foresees the production and makes sure all activities are completed on time.
3. Cutting process.
Using the guidelines provided by the designer, the factory cuts the fabric for sewing. Modern garment manufacturers use laser-cutting technology to prevent wastage.
4. Manufacturing and quality control.
Once the production is complete the factory will perform quality the quality check. The customer has a right to reject items if they don't meet the expected standards and quality.
5. Delivery.
After the garments pass the quality control, the rest of the production order will be delivered to the customer.
