4. Indication
• Garment processing' is nothing but preparation,
dyeing, printing and finishing operations performed on
apparel that has been fully made and is ready for sale.
• Newer fashion trends through continuous product and
process development is a key to be successful, as
consumers are more fashion conscious irrespective of
kid’s wear, men’s garments or lady’s garments.
• Garment wet processing has become the key element
of product development.
5. Indication
• The five “F’s” are very important for consumer satisfaction
1) Fabric 2) Finishing 3) Fit 4) Factory 5) Fashion. All
these five elements interact with each other to create new
and exciting looks for the future. Garments dyeing is the
important process for developing those factors.
6. Garments dyeing
What is garments dyeing?
The process of dyeing the garments after manufacturing the
garments from grey and/or scoured & bleached fabric is
known to be garments dyeing. This is a new developed
technology which becomes very popular in our country and
all over the world as well.
In other word, the process of dyeing fully made apparel
product like t-shirts , pants , trousers , shirts , jackets, tops,
pullovers , dresses and bottoms is called garments dyeing.
7. Garments dyeing
• Interest in garment dyeing has grown out of the fashion
driven wet processing of denim jeans after fabrication of
the garment had been completed.
8. Reason for Garment dyeing
• The advantage of this process is the cost effectiveness
of mass producing identical garments of producing
identical garments of particular colors .
• Quick response to the market .
• Ability to supply a wide range of colorations to the
retailer, but only in the shades that are selling.
• Reduced discounted sales at inventory.
• Best way to achieved relaxed, casual look.
9. Advantages of garments dyeing
• Lower cost needed
• Less time needed
• Less shade variations occurs
• Flexible lot size
• Old garments can be re dyed
• Lower initial investment
• Lower liquor ratio
• De sizing , Scouring , Bleaching can be done in same machine
• Capable to react with fast changing market trends
• Fancy effects can be obtained
• Lower inventory
• Comparatively lower rejection rate
10. Disadvantages of garments dyeing
• High cost of processing.
• More material handling.
• Special care for selection of interlining.
• Higher seconds rate in production.
• Labor intensive process.
• Requries full checking of all pieces.
• Depth variation of color between garments fabric and
interlining.
• Spots on garments due to the presence of chemicals in the
interlining.
• Performance of interlining may be damaged after dyeing.
12. Garments Dyeing Machines
There are two types of garments dyeing machine. These are
1. Paddle Garments dyeing machine:
A high liquor ratio is required for paddle machines,which is
less economical and may limit shade reproducibility.
2. Rotary garments dyeing machine:
• Rotary drum machines are sometimes preferred for
garments, which require gentler handling, such as sweater.
• Many machinery companies have developed sophisticated
rotary dyeing machines, which incorporate state of the art
technology.
13. Technique used for Garment dyeing
1. Tie dyeing
2. Dip dyeing
3. Spray dyeing
4. Over dyeing
5. Cold dyeing
6. High white dyeing
7. Washable dyeing
8. Top dyeing
14.
15. Tie dyeing
A process of hand dyeing fabric,
in which sections of the fabric are
tightly bound, as with thread, to resist the dye solution,
there by producing a variegated pattern.
16. Dip dyeing
Dipping the ends of the garment into either a naturally
colored dye or a bright colored dye. Fading of color
shade appears.
17. Spray dyeing
• This is one kind of dyeing which give white effect on a
specific area of garments.
• All type of textile & garments are suitable for spray
dyeing.
• It is also called pigment spray. Color pigment paste is
used for this type of dyeing.
19. Over dyeing
• Color applied to previously dyed color.
• A process of hand dyeing that works color into the
base material.
• Allows the previously dyed color (base color) to
become an integral part of the color scheme.
20. Cold dyeing
• Cold water dye refers to any dye which does not require
very hot water for fixation.
• It does not necessarily mean using water that feels cool
to the touch.
21. High white dyeing
• High white dyeing is a recent technological
development. In garment dyeing commonly we use
reactive, direct or pigment dyes but a Spanish Garmun
dyes chemical manufacturing company developed
some dyes in many hue but after fixing we get white
tone.
22. Washable dyeing
• After normal dyeing to get uneven look need enzyme
or acid wash or caustic peroxide wash.
• If we use washable dyes no need enzyme or acid wash
or caustic peroxide wash to get uneven look.
23. Top dyeing
• Top dyeing is also called garment top dyeing.
• In top dyeing process only top side of garment is
dyeing with reactive or direct dyes.
• Top dyeing is carried out in varying sized vessels as
dictated by the order weight of garments.
• This is a manual process.
24. Precautions to be taken before garments
dyeing
• Design should be made engineering point of view
• Dyeing should be done after pre-treatment to reduce
problems
• Grey fabric should be made from same lots or sources
• Seams should not be too tight or loose
• For mixed fibres , dye should be taken carefully
• Poor quality metal shouldn’t be used
• Proper interlining should be used
• Sewing threads from same fibres as garments
