| Production Process Flowchart |
| Designing and Sampling |
Samples | |
| Order | On approval of the sample, the buyer places the order with us specifying the items, quantity, delivery, rate etc. | |
| Raw Material Purchase | The actual production process begins with the purchase of yarn, chemicals and dyes from reputed suppliers who give us consistent quality and quick deliveries. | |
| Boiling | The yarn is then boiled in steam boilers to remove all impurities like cotton seeds and to increase its absorption capability. | |
| Bleaching and Dyeing |
| |
| Yarn Preparation | The yarn is then reeled onto bobbins and loaded on a warping shelf. Then depending on the reed and the design the warp yarn is mounted on the warp roll. Meanwhile the weft yarn is also reeled and kept ready for use by the weaver. | |
| Loom Preparation | Depending on the design and number of colours, the looms are set with the correct number of pedals. The warp yarn is then passed through the reeds and the healds. | |
| Weaving |
| |
| Online Fabric Inspection | The fabric is checked for defects on the loom itself for flaws like broken warps and other defects for immediate correction. The first metres are sent for inspection with a testing agency approved by the buyer, and to the buyer for final approval. To keep up the delivery schedule, we monitor the production day to day and add looms on noticing time lags, which would have caused delays if left unmonitored. | |
| Washing and Finishing | The fabric is then washed, calendered, brushed or otherwise processed/finished as per the Buyer's instruction. We can also get fabrics coated with stain resistant coatings. | |
| Final Fabric Inspection | Goods are then transported to our packing section and each metre of cloth is inspected for defects. Defective fabric, if any, is rejected immediately. | |
| Stitching | The fabric is then sent to the stitching units, where it is hand or machine cut depending on the designs. The cut fabric is distributed to tailors for stitching. The finished product is then trimmed and cleaned. | |
| Online Made up Inspection |
| |
| Final Made Up Inspection | Each piece coming out of the stitching unit is then inspected and in case there are any defects, they are either corrected or rejected. Special care is taken to ensure that foreign particles like needles etc. are not packed by mistake. | |
| Tagging and Packing |
| |
| Documentation and Shipping | Our staff then prepares the documents like Invoices, Packing lists required for shipping. Other certificates, if necessary are procured from the concerned agencies and attached to the documents before they are sent to the forwarding agents for shipping. | |
