What is Fabric Segregation Shrinkage Tester?

What is Fabric Segregation Shrinkage Tester?

Shrinkage Tester

In case of wash garments, Shrinkage Tester plays a vital role. There will be different pattern for diff shrinkage. As per color family, we also assign shrinkage family to each color. Shrinkage Segregation Tester will be done for vertical and horizontal respectively.

Take a swatch of 12” x 12” and mark both side with 10” X 10” and wash this.

Shrinkage Segregation
Shrinkage Segregation

Measure the wash swatch with shrinkage scale and derive the vertical and horizontal shrinkage.

We assign the shrinkage family in four groups.

GROUP                     TYPE                         %

A                                 VERTICAL                1 – 3%

B                                 VERTICAL                3.5 – 6.5%

C                                 HORIZONTAL          1 – 4.5%

D                                 HORIZONTAL          5 – 9%

So we make a report for each group and forward it to store so that it can issue fabric accordingly.

SHRINKAGE SEGREGATION

In case of wash garments, shrinkage plays a vital role. There will be different pattern for diff shrinkage. As per color family, we also assign shrinkage family to each color. Shrinkage will be done for vertical and horizontal respectively. In general, shrinkage guideline is divided into four groups as follows:

A                                 VERTICAL                1 – 3%

B                                 VERTICAL                3.5 – 6.5%

C                                 HORIZONTAL          1 – 4.5%

D                                 HORIZONTAL          5 – 9%

Each group issued one by one only to cutting section.

However as per shrinkage, Technical GM may change the groups.

Technical meeting

Technical GM sends mail to respective concerned people about the arrangement of technical meeting prior to production.

All the concerned people should be present in the meeting , regardless of whatever work they have , to discuss about the critical issues concerned with the particular style.

The meeting is done with I.E, PM, Technical manager, General Managers, Quality assurance managers, Line Supervisors, Line Managers, washing manager and maintenance manager.

Sewing line setting

First thing is that, the line managers should be very clear with the buyer approved tech pack and also with the technical details given by the technical GM.

They also have to ensure that the buyer approved sample matches with buyer approved tech pack and also with the technical details given by Technical GM in concern with measurements, construction, folder attachments, any special artwork etc.

Then they also have to check all the machines are set and operations are carried as per tech pack.

Line managers should ensure that all notches, fusing and panel have correct placements.

Trail run

As a process of trail run, 50 pieces are manufactured initially with all the specifications as per the approved sample.

Conclusion

Technical manager should ensure that printing and also the embroidery part have to be included in the garment as per the approved sample for the trail run itself. End of Shrinkage Tester topics

What is Crocking Test Tester?

What is Crocking Test Tester?

Crocking Test Tester

This Crocking Test Tester verifies the color bleeding property of garment. The instrument called CROCK METER. This process done in two types: (1) DRY CROCKING (2) WET CROCKING. Acceptable standard varies from buyer to buyer but best standard is

DRY               4

WET                3

Procedure

For dry process, place the swatch of testing material under plate of crocking test meter.  With crock meter cloth, 10 cycle of rubbing will be done on testing material. Shade effect will come on crock meter cloth, then measure it with gray scale and allocate the rating. In wet process, everything remains same except that crock meter cloth is wet with one drop of distil water.

ORDER RECAP REPORT

This report is received from Hong Kong office. In head office, styles are divided into two sections. Each buyer follows different system and procedure. Cut plan is based on order recap. Order recap provides all information about style like size, ratio, color, qty, FOB price, shipment date etc. that determine features of cut plan.

PO # SHEET

Po # sheet is replica of order recap. This report received by concerned merchandiser (in factory) from head office. It works to cross check the order recap report to minimize the chances of errors while making the cut plan. This report also delivers the full information about any style.

FABRIC BOOKING AND COST BREAKDOWN

This process is done in head office. Buyer require fabric avg., for every order. With miniature marker, we find required avg. and along with marker planning we send fabric-booking sheet to buyer. After including the trims cost, negotiation  done for per unit cost.

How Shade Segregation Works with Machine

How Shade Segregation Works with Machine

Shade Segregation Machine

After off-loading the fabrics, one swatch has to be cut from each roll, then mention the yardage and roll no on it. From all these swatches we form a blanket and if it is wash program then send for washing. Washing will be done as per approved standard for that Po # with respective color. This wash blanket will be approved by merchandising dep., technical manager and in case of any discrepancy then it will rewash. Approved blanket will cut into swatches and with the visual effect of each swatch, we assigned them one family. There can be different color family in one color. Color family is always finalized by merchandising manger and technical head. This approval recorded into one report which reveals full information about each color family like roll no. Yardage, no of color family etc… With this report, fabric store will issue the bulk fabric to cutting dep. Fabric store will not issue second color family even a single roll is pending from first one. So one time one color family only then next one. Check also Segregation Tester 

4 Point System Fabric Inspection Report

The supplier does 100 % fabric inspection. Factory is doing 10% inspection on received qty by American 4 point system.   The given points will be on following defects basis…

0-3 inch           (1point)

  • (2point)
  • (3point)

Above 9”         (4point)

After allocating the points on any roll / lot, with the help of following formula we find the POINTS PER 100 SQUARE YARDS

POINTS / 100 SQ.YD.           =          TOTAL POINTS X 3600

ACTUAL LENGTH X CUTABLE WIDTH

According to the American standards of evaluation, a lot is accepted if it has 40 or less than 40 points/100 Sq.yard. In Lenny, in order to have the best quality output, the points is reduced to 20.(i.e.) if a roll has more than 20 points/100Sq.yard, then that roll is termed as rejected and Technical manager or Merchandising manager will take final decision on that particular roll. The inspection format called RANDOM INSPECTION REPORT FOR FABRICS. This format reflects the full fabric defects; about widths (which play a vital role in cutting,) roll length, etc…

It’s duly signed by fabric inspector and submits the report to quality section. One copy also goes to technical manager

SHADE SEGREGATION

When fabric is received, 8 inches of head ends of each roll has to be cut, mention the yardage and roll no on it. From all these head ends, we form a blanket and if it wash program then send for washing. Washing will be done as per approved standard for that Po # with respective color. This wash blanket will be approved by merchandise dep., technical manager and in case of any discrepancy then it will rewash. Approved blanket will cut into swatches and with the visual effect of each swatch, we assigned them one family. There can be different color family in one color. Color family always finalize by merchandise manger and technical head. This approval recorded into one report which reveals full information about each color family like roll no. Yardage, no of color family etc… With this report, fabric store will issue the bulk fabric to cutting dep. Fabric store will not issue second color family even a single roll is pending from first one. So one time  one color family only then next one.

How Fabric Examining Machine Works with 4 Point System?

How Fabric Examining Machine Works with 4 Point System?

Fabric Examining Machine

Fabric examining machine with variable speed control, overhead lighting  and yardage counter. The machine must be clean with no excess oil and no sharp edges to damage the fabric. The garment making process should inspect 10% of rolls from each delivery AT RANDOM – this should include all colours and dye lots within a delivery. If the results show a high fault rate, an additional 15% of the rolls should be inspected. A high fault rate is defined as an average fault rate in excess of 29 points per 100 square yards.

Fabric examining machine procedure:

Auto as a standard for design, colour and handle. The process needs to check against this cutting as follows:

Design, Colour, Handle, Shading

At the beginning of each roll, a 6” full width cutting should be taken as a design & colour reference and checked against the approved bulk cutting for the following:

  • design
  • colour
  • handle
  • side to centre and side to side shading

This full width cutting must be labelled with the order number, fabric reference number or name, batch number, piece number, colour name, colour number, date and whether it was acceptable to the approved bulk cutting or not.

Width

The width of the fabric between the stenter pins must be measured and compared with the given minimum usable width.

Shading & Width

Each roll checked, should be stopped at least 3 times during inspection. At these stops design, colour, handle and side to centre and side to side shading should be assessed. End to End shading must be checked by comparing the full width cutting to this point in the roll. Also the cuttable width (between stenter pins) should be measured.

The cuttable width should be recorded on the inspection report, as should any design, colour or handle variability detected.

Length

The garment making process should check the fabric length stated on the piece ticket against the actual length of roll for variance. Both values should be recorded on the inspection report.

Defects

During the inspection, the fabric needs to be checked for defects which are rated on the 4 point system, as follows:

– Flaws up to 3” in length = 1 point

– Flaws up to 6” in length = 2 points

– Flaws up to 9” in length = 3 points

– Flaws over 9” in length = 4 points

* The maximum penalty for any running yard (36” x fabric width) must not be more than 4 points.

* Flaws in both warp and weft receive equal points.

* All holes, regardless of size, must be penalised 4 points.

* No more than 2 joins per fabric roll are allowed.

* The average point value per shipment should not exceed 28 points per 100 square yards.

* Individual rolls exceeding 40 points per 100 sq. yards must be rejected.

How to calculate points per 100 square yard:

Actual points counted   x           36”            x 100 = points / 100 sq. yards

Actual roll length            Actual width

e.g.     25       x      36”     x 100 = 28 points / 100 sq.yards

75 yds           43”

After the inspection is completed, calculate the average point value per 100 sq. yards by totalling the points and dividing by the number of pieces inspected.

This will be the final points total for this inspection.

All defect points must be recorded in the inspection report. In addition, the location of all defects must be marked at the right selvedge of the piece.

Bowing & Skewing

Any bowing or skewing needs to be mentioned on the inspection form as a percentage.

Colour Continuity

The process needs to prepare a colour continuity card which shows a 10cm wide x 20cm long (minimum) cutting of each roll. These need to be mounted onto a card by folding them in half (lengthwise) and overlapping each other. The continuity card should then be assessed in the light box under the requested light source against the approved bulk fabric cutting sent by Auto. See light box guide below.

If any shading is found that is not commercial, the process needs to send roll cuttings to Auto immediately for their approval. A roll cutting is a 20cm long x full width cutting of each roll.

Please ensure that any shading found is marked on the inspection form, by stating how many different shades in total were found.

Washing Shrinkage

In order to assess washing shrinkage the process needs to wash piece(s) of the bulk fabric for every order/colour, picked from rolls at random and 1 piece per 1000yds, mark an area of 50cm x 50cm and wash & dry according to the advised washcare on the make sheet. Then gently smooth out the fabric by hand (do not iron it) and please enter the found shrinkage/extension on the inspection form.

Please also press half of the washed cutting (if pressing is required for the order) to assess the look after pressing and confirm that it is acceptable i.e. that the fabric lays straight and true and has no degree of pucker. Please confirm the outcome on the fabric inspection report.

For any fabrics that are woven on 2 beams we require you to send half of the washed and half of the pressed cutting attn. to our fabric technologist immediately for our reference. Please note that you can identify any 2 beam fabrics by the wording ‘dobby’ added to the fabric sheet.

How to measure correctly?

In order to get accurate figures on shrinkage/extension that are fully representative of bulk, please follow the below steps:

  • Take ¾ to 1 yard full width of fabric.
  • Any measurement taken should be taken from markers at least 6 inches away from the selvedge or piece end.
  • The length/width measured should be 50cm (warp) x 50cm (weft) and should be measured using a fine ball point marker, so that no deviation occurs.
  • All measuring should be carried out using a ruler with each centimeter subdivided into 10 parts.
  • The sample should be washed at the required temperature (see washcare on make sheet) and dried (if required on the washcare). Straighten the fabric out after it has dried and measure in the unironed state.
  • Any shrinkage/extension figures should be specified with 1 decimal, e.g. -1.6%

Steaming Shrinkage

In order to assess steaming shrinkage the process needs to take piece(s) of the bulk fabric for every order/colour, picked from rolls at random and 1 piece per 1000yds, mark an area of 50cm (warp) x 50cm (weft) and iron according to the advised care instructions on the make sheet. Please enter the found shrinkage/extension on the inspection form.

How to measure correctly?

In order to get accurate figures on shrinkage/extension that are fully representative of bulk, please follow the below steps:

  • Take ¾ to 1 yard full width of fabric.
  • Any measurement taken should be taken from markers at least 6 inches away from the selvedge or piece end.
  • The length/width measured should be 50cm (warp) x 50cm (weft) and should be measured using a fine ball point marker, so that no deviation occurs.
  • All measuring should be carried out using a ruler with each centimeter subdivided into 10 parts.
  • The sample should be ironed at the required temperature (see care instructions on make sheet).
  • Any shrinkage/extension figures should be specified with 1 decimal, e.g. -1.6%

Contamination

On any yarn dyed orders where the design has a light ground and where any parts of the garment will be fused or if comments on contamination are made in sample approval comments (only applicable for samples made from correct bulk fabric), please fuse 4 pieces of fabric (representing collars/cuffs/plackets) picked randomly from different roles to assess whether there is any fabric contamination that will show up after fusing.

If you do not find the cuttings commercially acceptable or if you are not sure, please send them through to the fabric technologist at Auto Ltd. for approval
