MANUFACTURING PROCESS

• The design or the print is developed manually by the designers and then digitalized by Photoshop experts. The design to be printed is taken in .tiff format(file exe. name) and print command is given to the photo print software (Print EXP). They have a 72” width machine that can print a 70” ready size fabric. The machine prints with the combination of 8 color cartridges for best color effects. Daily output of the firm is 50,000-60,000 meters of printed fabric.

• After the printing and embroidery has been done, the fabric is sent for cutting that is done by marking the layout on the fabric. The layout is prepared by manual pattern making and then it is digitalized on a CAD Marking Machine and plotted on a plotter paper. This paper is used as guide for the cutting process.
• Cutting is followed by the sewing operations, where a team of 20-30 tailors stitches the final product; followed by inspection of prints, checks, labels, etc.
• After the checking process, the product is sent for washing and pressing. After the final development the product is packed and shipped.
