The document discusses various documents and approvals involved in the apparel merchandising process. It describes tech packs, specification sheets, fabric consumption calculations, thread consumption calculations, proto samples, and color approvals. The key steps are analyzing tech files to prepare costing sheets, negotiating prices with buyers, getting approvals on materials, proto samples, and colors before bulk production. Virtual prototyping is also mentioned as an emerging technique to communicate designs digitally.
Accessories: Item that enhances the aesthetic appeal or function of a garment including belt, scarves or other objects. In generally these components are sewing less. Type of Accessories
Accessories that are carried (Small pets, toy dog, cats, birds, snakes, taking parrots)
Accessories that are worn,(Necklace, Umbrella, Bag, Parts etc.)
Trims: Materials used to ornament or enhance garments. These components are attach in the garment by sewing. (Button, Zipper, Sewing thread, Lace, tape etc.)
Above definitions are fine when those are used as individual form. What happened when these terms used as “trims and accessories” in garment manufacturing industry?
Costing is very important for getting an order as well as it focuses the future trends of any industry. To make a effective, profitable and competitive cost sheet one must know about all the processes involves in garments manufacturing very well. All the updated news and costs of fabric, CM of particular garments, trims, wash cost, embroidery cost, traveling cost, terms of payments must be known. Merchandiser is the key person who is responsible for the costing of any item. Now the world is becoming more competitive for garments market and manufacturing as well. So a competitive cost sheet of any item affect the growth of any company.While the industry recorded a remarkable growth in a protected market environment, it faces a series of challenges that have come to the fore in the post-quota situation, notably in many areas.

An accident can occur at any time without any warning, and sometimes it can cause serious harm.
Any such untoward incident can have a significant impact on your finances; not only can the treatment be expensive, but if you suffer from any form of disability, it can affect your earning potential. You must think about how to manage, in case of an accident that may lead to disability.
Personal accident insurance provides a cover for permanent partial disability, temporary total disability and permanent total disability. If you suffer a grave injury, apart from expenses, there could be a loss of income at least for some time. The insurance will not only pay for expenses incurred in the treatment of injuries sustained but also provide a monthly or a gross payment till the time you aren’t working, which regular Life Insurance will not provide.
Even in the event of death, the future of your loved ones will be protected with a Personal Accident insurance.
With unpleasant surprises like accidents happening now and then, having insured for the accident is not an option. Even after an accident, one can enjoy financial stability and peace of mind if she/he had taken the Personal Accident insurance.
Today, as consumers become more aware and responsible about what they eat and drink, there is an increasing interest in, and consequently a rising demand for, organic products.
Without proof of certification, you cannot be assured that the product is, indeed, organic.
The organic labels certify that the products contain, among others, the following attributes: pesticide free, free of genetically modified/transgenic seeds, environmentally friendly, respects the workers safety, small-scale production, local production system, sustainable agriculture without use of chemical fertilizers.
The certification is among the attributes considered most important when buying organic products by the consumers. Consumers perceive superior value of products that possess an organic certification label.
With regard to the consumers’ opinions referring to labels, most believe that the labels give more credibility to products.
The researcher also found that product with an organic label is a differentiating factor at the moment of buying, due to the credibility, guarantee, confidence and safety conveyed by the label.
The roots of ecolabelling are found in the growing global concern for environmental protection on the part of governments, businesses and the public. As businesses have come to recognize that environmental concerns may be translated into a market advantage for certain products and services, various environmental declarations, claims and labels have emerged, such as natural, recyclable, eco-friendly, low energy, recycled content, etc.
Governmental, industry, NGO, investor and consumer efforts and awareness will serve as 5 key driving forces of sustainability in the months and years ahead.
Neoprene is a family of synthetic rubbers made by the polymerization of chloroprene. Neoprene can be produced into sheets at any thickness desired. In neoprene fabric the neoprene sheets are sandwiched between pieces of other fabrics, such as polyester or spandex, for function or for appearance.
For fashion, fun or functionality, neoprene is an extremely useful fabric and the uses for modern neoprene fabric are so many and so varied, you probably have something made of neoprene right by you now.
Designers already named neoprene as ultimate fabric for year ’round usage. Though typically reminiscent of material used for a scuba suit, designers are doing so many awesome things with the material this season. It’s sporty and cool,
Scuba fabric is the fashion version of neoprene, the skin-tight fabric used by scuba divers. Scuba is a double-knit fabric, usually made of Polyester mixed with Lycra. Some average stretch fabrics will stretch all over the place without structure but scuba has a far more calculated approach that results in a fabric that lends itself particularly well to feminine clothing.
With time, however, the scuba trend has become more sophisticated. From scuba dresses to scuba skirts, now you can wear this fabric to the office or for a night out in the town.
Online to offline (O2O) is a business strategy that attracts potential customers from online channels to make purchases offline in physical stores.
O2O commerce companies are employing various techniques to attract the potential customers from online into the store.
O2O commerce with proper strategy can make the purchasing at mall much more convenient and personalized that optimize customer experience and make them feel it’s so enjoyable to buy something.
The retail industry has shifted into this new concept of Online to Offline (O2O) in which online and offline channels share the same importance in achieving success.
It’s obvious that O2O business is now one of the most popular strategies throughout the retail industry and no one wants to be the outsider of this race.
The future lies in a convergence between online and offline sales.
Gemba Walk is the act of visiting the shop floor in Lean and Kaizen. Literally translated as 'The Real Place', it emphasis the importance of understanding for the management / leadership, what is happening at every level.
Gemba walks are a critical continuous improvement technique.
With a thoughtful and structured approach, Gemba Walks can improve communication and collaboration between staff and leaders. Employees also are more likely and able to describe inefficiencies, safety hazards, and other concerns when they are in their own workspace. This results in the identification of opportunities for improvement that may otherwise be missed.
The textile industry is about to take a giant step from being a supplier of fabrics to become a positive force in the development of society. Textile innovations improve people’s everyday lives and benefit the industry, the health care sector and the environment.
Smart textiles can be defined as textiles that are able to sense and respond to changes in their environment.
The integration of electronics in clothing promises a variety of new products and applications. . Whether for performance or aesthetic reasons, the focus within the textiles orb is on smart fabrics – from those that change their hue to those that regulate body temperature. Researchers are developing smart fabrics that do things that traditional fabrics cannot.
Historically, components have been produced by using subtractive or formative manufacturing processes.
Now manufacturers have a third process option – additive manufacturing, otherwise known as 3D printing.
3D printing is a process of creating a three dimensional physical object from a digital design (model).
The desire to play with fabric’s third dimension drew the researchers to 3D printing.
Thanks to this revolutionary technology, every piece of apparel is unique, made to measure with your own customization and its production process produces zero waste.
There are plenty of challenges that must be overcome before 3D-printed apparel goes main stream. The major challenge for 3D printing is replicating clothing fabrics such as silk, tulle material, or satin, among others.
Until the material problem gets solved, 3D-printed clothing will continue to look a whole lot more like an art project than an actual industry.
Key measure of the retailer’s success is selling as much merchandise as possible at the highest profit margin.
Retailers can no longer depend on random sourcing / buying in the hope that they will sell them all.
There are two major areas of profit leakage in retail. Firstly - lost sales resulting from lack of stock, and secondly - forced margin reductions (markdown) due to excessive stock.
There are processes and solutions in order to reduce and eliminate excess inventory and maximise profit. That is "Merchandise Planning".
Merchandise Planning is "A systematic approach by the retailer, aimed at maximising return on investment, through sales & inventory planning, in order to increase profitability”.
Main goal of Merchandise planning is to maximize the use of assets, and resources a company owns.
In the long run, effective merchandise planning can save time, help streamline business processes and objectives, and optimize and mobilize inventory to get it off the shelves into the hands of the consumers for the right price.
Retail industry evolving every day and we have seen the era where it has risen to influence of day to day life to such an extent that we can’t live without it.
There are new retail terms and definitions that add up every day into the retail business and should know them clearly.
Knowing the retail terms that are used in stores & online is, key to advancing, in the industry and having your operations run smoothly.
So, whether you're managing or expanding your retail business, here’s a quick primer on key retail business terms you should know.
All organizations have a way of doing things.
For some it rests in the mind of the leaders, for others it is translated onto paper and for most it is a mixture of the two. The logical step is to improve the working methods / systems and make them more predictable, more efficient and more effective – optimizing performance.
The Good/Quality management system is the management system that enables the organization to fulfill its purpose and mission. The adequacy, suitability and effectiveness of the management system is judged by how well the system enables the organization to achieve its objectives, operate efficiently and fulfill its purpose and mission.
The use of the word quality creates an anomaly and tends to represent the ISO 9001 standard as simply a tool to meet customer quality requirements and no others.
ISO 9001 controls processes, not products. The standard is concerned with the way an organization carries out its business and controls processes.
Over the last decade or so, as we started to become aware of the hazards of using PERC and other petro-chemicals, companies began looking for newer, more environmentally friendly solutions. Specialized equipment has been developed to aid in the finishing of wet-cleaned garments, and special softeners and additives have been created specifically for the wet-cleaning process.
The reason to choose a wet-cleaning system over dry-cleaning is obvious. It’s safer. For you, for me, for our children and the environment. Perchloroethylene is a toxic substance. It is dangerous to human and animal health and it harms the very environment we depend upon.
It is now totally safe to clean virtually any garment using the Wet Cleaning process!
Global trade is dependent 80% on sea route than air route, simply for the fact that air route is far more expensive and is used only in case of light weight cargo, perishable cargo, and priority shipments or in other conditions where shipping would not be possible.
Shipping trade is characterized by shipping companies who own vessels and specialize in the transportation of certain types of cargo like General Cargo, Containerized cargo, bulk commodities carriers, oil tankers, gas tankers, OD cargo carriers, etc.
As the business processes and business entities in international trade are becoming more complex, it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage all of the activities on one’s own. Logistics service providers are an important factor in the business success of companies engaged in trade activities at national and international level. Logistics intermediaries come in different forms and under different names, but they all have the same goal: to provide help to companies in the transportation, storage, shipment and distribution of goods from the seller to the buyer or the final consumer.
Augment Reality is set to dominate the next age of retail through product visualization. AR gonna take a little while, because there’s some really hard technology challenges there.
But it will happen. It will happen in a big way. And we will wonder, when it does [happen], how we lived without it. Kind of how we wonder how we lived without our [smartphones] today.
Lasting success requires credible business practices and the prevention of such activities as fraudulent accounting and labour exploitation.
Recognition of the need for more ethically responsible business practices has seen the emergence of a strong global movement to embrace and promote the concept of social responsibility.
ISO 26000 : 2010 standard offers a definition of what it means to be a socially responsible organization and why it is important that companies adopt this position.
Emotional intelligence is the single biggest predictor of performance in the workplace and the strongest driver of leadership & personal excellence. So what is emotional intelligence?
Knowing the basics of raw material, yarn production process and the other factors influencing quality will put the sourcing manager at the same eye level as a spinner /supplier when negotiating quality issues.
As a consequence this puts the sourcing manager in the position to pay the right price for the corresponding quality level.
This kind of know-how supports a retailer enormously in his efforts to establish a reliable supply chain which is based on mutual understanding.
The clothing industry generates more than $250 billion each year worldwide. With so much money at stake, it is tempting for companies to ignore the ethical practices, such as sustainability, pay rates, and employee safety that the industry should practice.
As companies expand their manufacturing and sourcing capabilities around the world, supply chain workplace conditions are increasingly scrutinized, particularly in developing countries
Consumers increasingly want to buy products produced under conditions where minimum standards of human rights for workers in global supply chains are achieved.
In the context of globalisation and international competition, many companies source labour-intensive goods from developing and newly industrialised countries. However, working conditions in these countries often do not comply with basic labour standards, such as those established by the International Labour Organization (ILO). To address this issue, many companies and associations have created individual codes of conduct and monitoring systems.
SA8000 and BSCI are some of the monitoring systems. The audit process helps to identify the better suppliers who can take on more business as non-conforming suppliers drop out of the supply chain.
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

What is the next step ?
The merchandiser :
analyses the T/F and the Reference sample,
prepares the costing sheet, and
quote an initial price to the buyer.
This price is based on :
the estimated production and material costs, but
is also influenced by how much the customer is expected
to pay.

until a price is finalized which is agreeable to
both parties.

5. Specification Sheet /spec sheet
A specification sheet contains the measurement
details of a particular style that is needed to
prepare the pattern.
Some specification sheets also provide the
measurement gradation between sizes and give
the detailed size gradation for the garments.
However, it does not say other details that goes in
to apparel style detailing.

6. Specification Sheet /spec sheet
Example of a garment specification sheet.
As you can see on the image the measurement spec sheet
only reveals on measurement parameters.
This sheet only helps in creating the garment patterns and
sample development.

7. Tech Pack
Think of a Tech Pack as the blueprint for each
garment.
Just as a builder would never just start building a
house without a detailed plan, a designer should
never produce a garment without a detailed Tech
Pack.
The Tech Pack tells the producer (factory) all the
information that’s needed to successfully transform
your design into a product that’s exactly how
designer envisioned it.
7
8. What is a Tech Pack ?
Tech Pack is a detailed instruction to create apparel
starting from scratch.
Buyer must specify fabric details, washing and wash
care, prints, labeling, packaging, – every small and
important detail she can provide to a clothing
manufacturer to make sure her production piece
comes right.
This gives complete information about the garment
style to clothing manufacturer and will reduce time to
produce and minimize costly errors and oversights.

9. What to look in the T/F
Rendered illustration – flat sketch ( front view – back
view – 2D)
Fabric quality – GSM, Composition, Structure, etc
Color combo – various color options of the garments
Stitching & construction detailing (both front and
back and close ups on features)
Graphic /print detailing including print type,
placement & Pantone number (style dependent)
Embroidery/appliqué /other embellishment detailing
Washing / Special finishes requirements
Trims & packaging details
Branding details – Labels & Tags
Graphical measurement details with spec sheet
pointers.

10. What to look in the T/F
Careful study & understanding of Tech Packs will:
○ reduce errors in production,
○ reduce issues with communication, and
○ ultimately can save you tons of money and
frustration.

11. Fabric consumption
Fabric cost bears approximately 40% to 45% of
the total cost of any garment. So calculation of
correct fabric consumption is very important.
In most of the Indian apparel factories the fabric
consumption is calculated by pattern masters.
Average fabric consumption depends on nature of
the fabric, like tubular or open width fabric,
whether fabric is solid colored, check or stripe or
any specific design repeat required.
11
12. Fabric consumption
Consumption is also calculated using CAD.
When buyer gives the enquiry along with the tech-
pack, merchandiser will give the tech-pack to the
CAD department for marker preparation.
From the tech-pack the CAD department will
develop the pattern for base size e.g. M size by
using the measurement sheet provided and
calculate the consumption.
12
13. Fabric consumption
Technicians manipulate pattern images on
computer screens and experiment with various
configurations to determine the best fabric
utilization (and reduce the consumption).
13
14. Fabric consumption
Computerized marker making is :
more accurate ,
provides the greatest opportunity for pattern manipulation,
marker efficiency,
reuse of previously made markers, and
shortest response time.
14
15. Fabric consumption
Development of marker is a time consuming
process since costing should be submits to the
buyer within the given time frame.
Determining the consumption by using CAD is
time consuming and hence merchandiser follows
some mathematical methods to calculate the
fabric consumption.
For knitted fabric consumption following formula is
suggested for calculation of fabric consumption.
15
16. Fabric consumption
Fabric Consumption Calculation Formula:
To find out the apparel weight or fabric
consumption, we should apply the following two
formulas.
By adding equation- (A) and equation (B), we will
get the required fabric consumption for round neck
t-shirt.
Here,
S.A means Seam allowance,
T.L means Total length,
H.A means Hem allowance,
S.L means Sleeve length.
16
18. Fabric consumption
For Polo, the difference is the collar & the placket.
Flat knit collar fabric consumption (2×2 Rib fabric),
{(Collar width + S.A) × Neck round × G.S.M}
………………………………………………… …..…
10000
N.B: We have to multiply by 2, because flat knit
collar is single layer fabric.
18
19. Fabric consumption
And,
Flat placket fabric consumption calculation (Pique
fabric),
{(Placket width + S.A) × (Placket length + S.A)
× G.S.M × 3}
……………………………………………………
……...……..… …
10000
N.B: There is 3 or 4 fold in placket. As a result, it is
multiplied by 3 or 4.
19
20. Sewing thread consumption
Sewing thread consumption calculation is one of
the most important factors in apparel
merchandising.
Sewing thread consumption can be calculated by
following four methods:
Stitch and unravel method.
Stitch and measure method,
Arithmetic method,
Using software programme.
20
21. Sewing thread consumption
1. Stitch and Unravel Method:
In this method, at first the fabric is first sewn up to
a standard length say for 10cm or 20cm. then the
stitched sewing thread is unraveled fully and then
the length of the sewing thread is measured. This
is more time consuming method.
21
22. Sewing thread consumption
2. Stitch and Measure Method:
In case of this method, a standard length of
sewing thread is taken or marked; say for
example, 5 meters or 10 meters. Then it is sewn
fully till the sewing thread is finished or the mark is
reached in the sewing needle. Now, measure the
length of the stitch length.
22
23. Sewing thread consumption
3. Arithmetical Method:
In this method, sewing thread requirement may be
calculated using the parameters like stitch length,
stitch width, stitch depth or height and stitches per
inch or cm.
Sewing thread consumption,
= {(Stitch length + stitch width + stitch depth) ×
stitch per inch or cm}
But this method is difficult for stitches where
multiple sewing threads are used.
23
24. Sewing thread consumption
4. Using Software Programme:
The sewing thread software programme is used to
calculate the sewing thread requirement in an
effective way.
Sewing thread requirement can be quickly and
easily can be calculated without much effort.
All one needs to do is just enter the required seam
positions that are to be calculated and the
respective parameters.
24
25. Approval Process
Through the T/F (Bill of Material - BOM) we will get
to know the list of all the materials to be used in
the garment.
Most of the cases, i.e. except in the cases of
nominated vendors, we need to develop these
materials locally.
Merchandiser need to get the approvals
/confirmation from the buyer for all these materials
before proceeding for the bulk production.
25
26. Proto / Fit Sample
One of the important approval is of Proto / Fit
Sample.
In the T/F the designer put all the information
that’s needed to successfully transform her design
into a product exactly how she envisioned it. It is
in 2D format (in paper).
Proto is the first stage, where the factory will
transform her design into a product (in 3D form).
Through the Proto sample the designer will able to
compare and see what she has envisioned is
possible or not in 3D.
26
27. Proto / Fit Sample
One of the major challenges for any fashion
company is ensuring that the fit of a garment is as
close as possible to its target customer.
In most cases, this implies providing a sample to
the client for a fit session.
Retailers and brands use human fit models to fit
sessions.
27
28. Proto Sample
Why Proto Sample?
Ensures manufacturer and apparel brand are on
the same page
Leads to more accuracy and fewer rejections
Saves time and money
Protects against misinterpretation on style
detailing
Expressively improves efficiency and productivity
28
29. Proto Sample
Proto sample is made in available similar fabrics
but in the actual measurements and specifications.
in one size, as specified by the buyer.
29
30. Sampling Section
Sample garments are
usually produced by a small section called
sampling section ,
supervised by the pattern master and/or
designer, and,
This section has an important role in determining
the order booking.
30
31. Importance of Proto to the factory
By making this sample the factory learn about the:
style,
its construction,
machine requirement, and
processes to be used to make quality product.
While making this sample the factory can also
learn what are all difficulties may come at the time
of bulk production and suggest the alternate
options to the buyers / get their approval to avoid
the problem at later stage.
31
32. Importance of Proto to the factory
During the development of Proto sample the patterns may
be altered and perfected to rectify faults discovered in the
T/F and / or to reduce the material consumption / CMT.
Minor modifications to the design / pattern may also be
done to allow existing machinery to be utilized, to avoid
the purchase of special type of machine, which the new
style feature requires and the factory does not possess.
At the same time the suitability of the intended fabrics and
process is established for mass production.
At the sampling stage, the quantities of fabric and
trimmings are re-established (to place the order for the
same).
32
33. Proto Sample – what is checked
The Proto sample is scrutinized to evaluate
whether they fit in with the overall picture the
company wants to present in this collection /
theme.
33
34. Proto Sample – what is checked
The application of linings and interlinings, padding
and fastenings
Technical aspects of sewing, such as :
○ Stitch type
○ the quality and structure of the seams,
○ reinforcement of edges, and
○ securing of pockets and different parts.
34
35. Proto Sample – what is checked
Depending on the machinery and the skill of a factory’s
sewers, production quality can vary greatly.
By analyzing the Proto, one can assess the
Technological capability of the factory and what it can
or cannot produce.
Buyer may not choose your factory based solely on
the lowest price, but she will also want to evaluate
how well you can execute her actual design(s). Proto
comes handy for this assessment.
And hence, in many cases, the order is confirmed after
Proto sample.
35
36. Virtual prototyping
Today, apparel manufacturers are under pressure to reduce time to
market and optimize products to higher levels of performance and
reliability.
With technological advancements it is very easy to communicate
with buyer at very low cost and within very short period of time even
at sampling stage.
Proto typing is first stage where only aesthetics are judged in
sample; hence virtual prototyping is effective and time saving way
to communicate with buyer without sending physical sample.
Virtual prototyping is a technique in the process of product
development.
Virtual prototyping is an emerging technology in today’s rapid
changing world
36
37. What are the other approvals:
Fabric Quality
37
38. Fabric Quality approval
The fabric greatly influence the character of
clothing and hence, the quality & type of fabric
selected based on its possible end-use.
Pattern, Structure & Surface Texture, weight
(GSM), etc. has to be approved by the buyer first.
38
39. Fabric Quality approval
GSM:
The amount of raw material used to make a fabric
is reflected by the weight or the GSM (gram/sq
meter) of the fabric.
For the same variety of the fabric as the GSM
increases, the cost increases.
However, when the yarn becomes very fine, the
cost of spinning and weaving supersedes the role
of GSM.
So even when the GSM is similar, the cost of
fabric with finer yarns is more.
39
40. Fabric Quality approval
COUNT OF YARN:
The yarn cost will depend on the count of the yarn—the finer
the yarn, the more expensive it can get.
Combed yarns are more expensive than carded yarns
because yarn realization is only about 70 percent due to the
removal of short fibers, while it is almost 88 percent in the
case of carded yarn.
All finer counts above 40 are generally combed yarns.
The sizing cost also depends upon the count of the yarns. As
the count becomes finer, the size and chemical cost
increases because better quality size and chemicals are
required for better strength.
http://sourcemygarment.com/blog-posts/fibres-to-fabric-the-cost-of-fabric-production
40
41. Fabric Quality approval – why?
Yarn used can be Combed or Semi-combed or Carded,
where in the combed yarn is finest quality and the
results in fine & smooth output of fabric.
The yarn quality varies from mill to mill and is the price.
The variation in yarn quality is also because the cotton
might from different regions, having different
properties.
The desired fabric weight can be achieved with
different combination of yarn type, count, gauge but
they will have distinctive effect on the quality of the
fabric (and on cost of the fabric).
41
42. Colour Approvals
In order to get the conformation about bulk
producibility, merchandiser ensures the colour
communication, which includes :
○ Lad-dip,
○ desk-loom,
○ print-strike off,
○ knit down,
○ art work.
42
43. Colour Approvals
Lab dip / yarn-dip / knit down
A lab dip is a swatch of fabric test dyed to hit a
colour standard.
Lab-dips are developed in order to get
conformation that the colour standard given by
buyer is producible in production.
Colour reference is in paper form. Lab-dip is done
to provide the visual aid on how colour will look
when it is dyed on approved fabric.
Look of it is judged in fabric form at this stage.
43
44. Colour Approvals
Lab dips are reviewed in two ways either by visual
inspection or by using spectro-photometer.
For visual inspection “light box” is used.
44
45. Colour Approvals
A light box is a box where the interior is painted a
neutral colourless grey (as to not skew the colour
of the dip) and has several options of light under
which you can evaluate your Lab dip.
45
46. Colour Approvals
Spectrophotometer is a technology gives values
(L, a, b, c, h and delta-E) which gives clear idea
that how much Lab-dip is closer to given standard.
Some buyer gives approval on visual matching
while some follows the spectrophotometer
readings.
46
47. Colour Approvals
If some yarn is specified then dyed yarn is
submitted as Yarn-dip,
while for knits,
sometimes for dyed yarn merchandiser submits
Knit- down which may be developed by hand knit
or sample knitting machine.
Knit-down is also used to check the appeal of
colour combination in y/dyed styles.
47
48. Desk-loom:
Desk loom basically a fabric made on sample weaving
machine, which can be operated by hand.
Desk loom submission is necessary in order to get
review of the fabric which going to approve.
Generally desk loom submitted for yarn dyed fabric.
Mostly appeal of colour combination & weaving
structure is assessed here.
48
49. Print strike off:
The print strike off is developed to make sure that
print design given by buyer is producible in bulk.
Problems associated while printing and other
issues are communicated with buyer.
A test length of fabric specially printed in order to
check the pattern registration, pattern repeat and
the matching shades in the design.
http://www.textiletoday.com.bd/communication-backbone-of-merchandising/
49
50. Art work:
Art work is another important aspects which need
to get approved from buyer.
Art work contains the barcode stickers, waistband
tag, hand tag designs which is specified by buyer.
This need to be submitted physically or picture of
them is sufficient depending upon buyer
requirement.
50
51. Size Set or Jump Size Set Sample
Size Set / Jump Set may be requested depending
on business needs.
Sample should have all updates and corrections
as requested based on fit / proto comments.
These samples helps in validation of
measurement chart & grading.
51
52. Size Set Sample
Pattern Grading is a process whereby patterns of
different sizes are produced from the approved
pattern / master pattern.
This process can be performed either manually or
automatically by a computer.
The patterns can be cut out and used to plan
cutting markers manually, if necessary.
52
53. PP Sample
PP Sample is the short name of Pre-production sample.
PP sample is made prior to starting bulk production after incorporating all
the comments received on Proto / size set sample.
PP sample is made with actual fabric(bulk), trims and accessories of the
style in specified size (mostly in one size and all ordered colours).
Factory takes final approval for style, workmanship, measurements,
trimming, material quality including, colour, prints & finishes on PP sample.
If all meets specifications, the buyers will give the factory approval to move
to bulk production.
Factory must maintain an exact copy of the PP for their records and utilize
during production, for in-line audit reference.
53
54. PP Sample
In most of the cases, the factory has to send the test
report to the buyer along with the PP sample
PP Sample is the last chance the buyer have to double
check that everything is done correctly.
Customer approvals and PP samples provide the
sewing factory with the confidence and guidance that
an agreement and expectation have been created with
the customer.
In some cases, this sample is also referred as “Gold
Seal Sample”.
54
55. Shipment samples
The Shipment samples taken from the production is the
exact representation of the items that the factory going to
ship.
These samples are to be sent before shipment to get the
buyer’s confirmation for shipment (may not be always).
Hence these samples are needed to be perfect in all
manners.
They should be sent in actual packing with all labels, tags,
etc.
Buyer may check these samples for everything or anything
and give green signal to ship the goods.
55
56. Miscellaneous - Photo Sample
Sample made specifically for Photography,
Advertising, catalogue, etc.
Actual fabrics and trims are required for sample,
unless otherwise approved by the buyer.
Samples must be in size requested (not always
the fit sample size)
Samples are sometimes requested before fit
approval- samples must represent the most
current fit comments.
56
57. 3D technology
3D technology at the design stage can help
reduce cost and time-to-market, contributing to a
more efficient and profitable process by reducing
the number of samples required and their
associated costs.
3D apparel design software eliminates the need
for trial and error in physical sample creation,
ensuring that any design fits right the first time
