The textile industry plays a vital role in this world. Every person in this world needs clothes to wear and they are manufactured with the help of the textile industry. There are different textile industries which make clothes for men, women and babies. Every textile company has its own design, structure and product quality.
However, in this blog, we’ll tell you the most important aspect of the textile industry which is its quality. As in every field quality matters. Similarly, in the textile industry quality matters a lot but several companies are confused about enhancing their quality. In this blog, we will share information on how to improve the quality of the products. So, let us start.
Textiles can be improved by following these steps.
The one and most important aspect of improving the quality of textiles is by using a colour-matching cabinet. A colour matching cabinet is an instrument used in textile industries for the assessment of colours. As we know in textiles, colour matters a lot. If the colour of clothes gets faded early then the user will never purchase that cloth again from the same industry. So, maintaining the colour of textiles is very important in the textile industry.
Here, the point comes to how a textile industry can maintain its colour consistency as there are changes in metamerism to happen.
- Metamerism is a process in which the colour of a product seems different in one light source and when exposed to another light source, the colour looks different). So, to prevent this confusion and for the good quality of textiles, a colour-matching cabinet is used in textile industries.
- In addition, there is a controlled and standardized lighting condition in this cabinet which ensures that the high-quality products are delivered to the customers after testing. In this machine, a standardized lighting condition is provided for evaluating the colour consistency of textiles. Different light sources are provided in this machine for checking the appearance of textiles under different lighting conditions.
- Hence, the colour quality of textiles can be determined by comparing them under these light sources. Overall, a colour-matching machine plays a vital role in improving product quality in the textile industry.
- Using high-quality materials can enhance textile quality. It includes; synthetic fibers, silk, and long staple cotton.
- By adopting advanced manufacturing techniques such as laser cutting, computerized weaving, digital printing etc.
- Implementing quality control measurements at every step can help in determining any defects.
- Using innovative technology for finishing can increase the durability and performance of textiles. These techniques include mercerization, enzyme washing, and nanotechnology treatments.
- Innovations in textile performance and quality can result from spending money on research and development to investigate novel materials, methods, and technologies.
- Working together with manufacturers, suppliers, and other supply chain participants may promote innovation and knowledge exchange, which will ultimately improve the quality of textiles.
Steps to improve the quality of garments
Producing a good quality product is the result of the combined efforts of employees, management and workers. Here are some tips for improving the quality of garments.
- Always choose trained workers. If they are fresh then provide them with proper training for working in the textile industries.
- Make sure your workplace is clean and dry. The workplace may be a shipping area or storage room.
- In cutting, sewing and finishing garments use the appropriate equipment.
- Every department should have appropriate machines and tools.
- Before making a purchase, establish clear and concise quality criteria with each fabric provider, along with a process for returning or rejecting defective products.
- Allocate a trained person for quality inspection.
- Check the breadth and length of the fabric in real life against the required measurements and the supplier’s supplied figures.
- Send fabrics that don’t match the predetermined quality requirements back to the provider.
- Adhere to a strict inspection protocol for all value-added procedures, including panel printing, machine, and hand embroidery, etc.
- The stitching area shall not receive any panels or parts that are faulty. Once corrective action has been taken, defective components may be accepted.
- Quality of cutting ranks as the second most important aspect. It is necessary to check the cut components for things like shade differences, fabric-related flaws, and matching cut panels with original patterns.
- After stitching and in the finishing part, check every item of clothing. You can stop the garment checking volume in concluding checking by inspecting all of the clothing at the end of the queue.
- Keep track of faults by garment manufacturing lot, defect source (fabric, cutting, or assembly), etc.
- Examine the data from the inspection report to determine the origins of the quality issues. Only after you are aware of the main problems with your floor’s quality can you take the appropriate measures.
