Garment quality control
Garment quality control is a crucial aspect of the manufacturing process to ensure that the final products meet the desired standards and customer expectations. Here are some our process for effective garment quality control:
Define Quality Standards:
Clearly establish and document your quality standards, specifications, and criteria for each garment. This includes measurements, materials, stitching details, color accuracy, and other relevant factors.
Create a Quality Control Plan:
Develop a comprehensive quality control plan that outlines the entire inspection process from raw materials to finished goods. This plan should include checkpoints at various stages of production.
Inspect Raw Materials:
Thoroughly inspect and test all raw materials before production begins. Ensure that fabrics, trims, buttons, zippers, and other components meet the required quality standards.
In-Process Inspections:
Conduct inspections at different stages of the production process. This helps identify and rectify issues early on, preventing the need for extensive rework or wastage.
Color control procedure
Controlling fabric color in garment manufacturing is a meticulous process that involves various steps to ensure accuracy and consistency. Here are some our process for fabric control:
Color Matching Process:
Begin with a color matching process to define the desired color. Use standardized color systems such as Pantone or other industry-specific color references.Work closely with our buyer to understand their color expectations and preferences.
Lab-dip and Sample Approval:
Create a fabric swatch or sample based on the selected color specifications.Provide the sample to clients for approval. This step ensures that the chosen color meets their expectations before mass production begins.Standardization of Dyes and Pigments:Standardize the dyes and pigments used in the manufacturing process. Ensure that suppliers provide consistent and high-quality colorants.
Quality Control Testing:
Use color measurement devices such as spectrophotometers to quantify and verify color consistency.Maintain Production Environment:Control and maintain the production environment, including temperature and humidity, as these factors can affect color outcomes.
Batch-to-Batch Consistency:
Monitor and maintain batch-to-batch consistency. Keep detailed records of color recipes, dye concentrations, and process parameters for each production run.
