Initially we were given fourteen carton dimensions.
Accordingly we imported the paper complying those dimensions to avoid high
wastages. But we are receiving buyer order in of cartons in more than
40 different dimensions.
Many locals in Redmond believe that growth, for the sake of growth, is a political disease. They are right. We must make sure our physical and sociological impact is kept to a minimum, and that locals maintain the quality way of life they deserve. As the cartons are made using Automatic corrugation machine, for each different dimensions, we have to change the paper rolls and change the corrugation arrangements like cutting, creasing, etc. For such each changes, a minimum time of one hour is lost. In addition, your carton orders ranges from 3 pcs to pcs. 700 – 800 pcs. We have received even 7 different dimensions in only 45 pcs of carton orders. To produce the varied dimensions, each time about 100 meter boards are wasted which is mandatory. This 100 meter wastage is applicable for 1 pc or 5000 pcs – same!
As the carton quantity by your vendors are so small, we
cannot load in one full truck. As such, under your vendor’s pressure, we are
transporting cartons in different trucks with few cartons in different
destinations causing high transport costs. One truck accommodates 2500 to 3000
pcs of carton but the rent is same even if we transport only 200- 300 pcs a
truck.
Like other buyers , we request to standardize the carton
dimensions in fixed sizes. In that case, we will be able to produce the carton boxes
avoiding production loss and high wastages.
To avoid the high transport cost caused by small quantity of
deliveries, we request to give us 10 days lead time so that after production,
we can get time to consolidate your different vendors carton boxes in full
trucks.

AFTER TREATMENT (WASHED PRODUCT)/WRINKLE FREE
Examine the garment and place a check mark under YES, NO or
N/A-
Check if hand feel is correct to approved washed standard
with regards to surface appearance, softness etc.
Check for color and cast of garment against approved
standard to ensure that they are very close or within the approved shade band
between light and dark.
In the case of indigo denims or piece dyed fabric or over
dyed garments, arrange a few garments flat on table over lapping each other
and place the shade bands (dark and light) on either side of the garments to
verify correctness of shade. Repeat this check for every half dozen garments
from the sample lot.
In the case of heavier washed product, check for appearance
such as abrasion and any destruction to see if they are up to original
approved standard.
For garments with wrinkle free treatment, check for seam
smoothness against approved standard and/or AATCC standard replicas for seam
smoothness Test Method 88B.
Also for wrinkle free garments check for fabric smoothness
against approved standard and/or AATCC standard for fabric appearance test
method 124.
If there is crease on leg panels for wrinkle free
programs, check for sharpness of crease (also known as retention of creases)
against approved standard and/or AATCC standard replicas for retention of
