Determining of Woven Fabric Face and Back Side

In cutting section we frequently found troublesome to detect fabric face as well as back side properly. When the fabric roll does not contain any mark or specifucation as face or back we face this difficulties. The bellow understanding will help someone to detect the woven fabric face side more easily and precisely.

General Methods You can Apply to Detect a Fabric Face or Back

• Brushed or peach fabric the face side is generally peached or brushed.
• Face side of a fabric will be clearer and softer than the back side.
• Fabric of textured yarn the texture will be more visible in the face side.
• Diagonal lines of twill fabrics will be more visible on the face side of the fabric.
• Fabrics with fancy design have smoother weaves on the face side.
• Cloths with color are usually brighter on the face
• Cords are more pronounced on the face
• Sateen fabric show face by weft on top
• In case of Satins warp on top
• Dobby fabrics and brocades have the pattern more prominent on the face
• Pile fabric with brilliant color on top
• Pile fabric with more pile on the face

When getting fabric roll from suppliers we can easily determine the face side through the bellow methods:

• Denim fabric shows colored yarns on top or face
• Face side of single-layer roll is fabric face side.
• Inside face of double-plied roll is fabric face side
• Side with printed trade mark at both ends is fabric face
• Upper side of printed letter on the selvage
• If selvage contains stentering holes, more regularly shows face

Measuring GSM of Fabric Without GSM Cutter | Woven Fabric GSM Measurement

GSM is the short form of Grams per Square Meter. GSM is the very most important thing which defines the weight of the fabrics of knit garments.

Garment price and quality based on many things like GSM, fabric quality, colors, finishing, prints, embroidery, style, etc. But GSM is the most important thing to be decided when confirming the prices between the sellers and buyers.

If we have fabrics, then we don’t have any problem in finding GSM, as we can cut any dimension to find GSM. But most of the times, we will have only the garments to find GSM. And we will have to keep the garment for style, making and other references. So we will be allowed to cut a small bit from the garments. Hence nowadays, round cutters are used. This system is used worldwide. With the help of this round cutter, the fabric will be cut into a small bit.

Then the GSM of the fabric can be found out by multiplying the weight of this round bit by 100. This round bit is to be weighed in an electronic scale with milligram accuracy. As this bit is very small and as the weight has to be multiplied by 100, the fabric has to be cut very sharply to get the exact GSM. Hence the blades of this round cutter are to be  sharp and new to get the exact GSM.

Now we will measure GSM in general procedure (In case of woven garment it is frequently used)

 GSM is the weight of 1meter x 1meter fabric. It means 100cm x 100cm = 10,000 sq.cms. It can be found out by any one of the below ways.

·         By the weight of 100cm x 100cm fabric bit.

·         By the weight of 50cm x 50cm fabric bit multiplied by 4.

·         By the weight of 25cm x 25cm fabric bit multiplied by 16.

·         By the weight of 10cm x 10cm fabric bit multiplied by 100.

We must be aware that if we use the smaller size bit, accurate GSM can not be achieved. The bigger size of fabric bit is better used to get exact or closer GSM.

L/C Payment Procedures for Fabric Importation-Woven Garment Merchandising

In case of larger amount importation L/C is used. It is a costly process than TT.

An irrevocable Letter of Credit is also an often used payment method. It is often referred to an L/C. Letters of Credit are formal payment methods that offer a lot of protection to the parties.

Simply put, a letter of credit is a letter written by the importer's bank to the exporter. It verifies that the payment will be guaranteed when the bank is presented with the concrete documents (bill of loading, and freight documents). Most letters of credit are "irrevocable" once the importer has had them sent.

A letter of credit usually includes applicant (you, the importer), beneficiary, opening bank, negotiating bank, specification and quantity of the goods, amount of money, loading port and destination port, shipment date, the validity date of the L/C, terms and conditions agreed by both the importer and seller, and the documents required by the importers (bill of loading, commercial invoice, packing list, insurance certificate, etc.)

L/C payment terms procedures:

a. You (the importer) applies to open the L/C to us (the seller) through a bank who can open the L/C in your country.

b. The opening bank will inform The Bank of Seller that the L/C has been opened.

c. The Bank of  Seller will inform us that the L/C has been established.

d. Seller will check all the terms and conditions listed in the L/C. If all terms and conditions are acceptable, They'll arrange the shipment within the time specified in the L/C.

e. After the goods are loaded onto the ship without any damage, the captain will issue the clean bill of lading to seller.

f. They will submit the clean bill of loading and other relevant documents to The Bank of seller to gather the payment. Only with clean bill of loading can you claim the ownership of the goods.

g. The Bank of seller will send the clean bill of lading and relevant documents to your bank (the opening bank).

h. The opening bank will inform you that all documents are received.

i. You will go to the bank to make the payment to get the clean bill of loading and relevant documents.

j. With all of these documents, you can clear the import Customs and pick up the goods after the goods arrive on the destination sea port.

Short Staple Spinning Flow Chart | Carded and Combed Yarn Manufacturing Processes

 In short staple spinning three types of spinning systems are available in a wide range. In ring spinning carded and combed yarn are produced according to the requirement of yarn quality, price as well as time consumption. Carded yarns are highly used for medium quality and average count, used for all kinds of fabrics.

Flow Chart for Carded Yarn Manufacturing Process:

Fiber → Blow Room   →     Lap

 Comb yarn is very much high quality yarns in comparison with card yarn cause of here more short fiber and naps as well as impurities are removed through the combing action. Superior quality yarns can produce in using combing machine to the machine sequence. In cotton count, higher the number finer the yarns will be. Combed yarns have high count number with best quality in using fabric making.

 

Combed cotton yarn manufacturing process:

Fiber → Blow Room   →     Lap

Rotor Spinning | Open End (OE) Spinning | Flowchart of Rotor Yarn

Open ended (OE) or break spinning is referred to as rotor spinning where process sequence is less than combed as well as carded yarn. Roving formation in simplex machine is not required to rotor spinning where drawn slivers are fed to the machine directly. Production rate of OE spinning system is higher than ring spinning where coarse yarns are made within a range of 5 to 40 cotton count. Medium to low quality yarns are produced here used for making denim, dungaree, twill, chino as well as any heavy fabric. Local use of rotor yarn is sometimes higher than ring spun yarns. Rotor spinning is much popular in use due to the high production rate, less wastage percentage as well as highly usable in denim to make blue jeans.

OE or Rotor Spinning flow chart is given below:

Fiber/Bale →    Blow Room →     Lap

↓

Lap    →   Carding   →   Sliver (Carded)

↓

Carded Sliver →  1^st Drawing frame   →   Drawn Sliver
