Development Procedure

There are many authentic systems to make a bonded garment. Here I discussing basic 3 steps that should be follow as:

1. Development,

2. Pre-production, and

3. Production.

1. Development: It is a initial & vital procedure to make a bonded garment (full bonded or some feature like cuffs tab, placket, patch pocket with zipper), this step make you sure what feature you can make or not.

Bonding (No Sewing) Development Requirement:

There are two phase of development procedure:

i) Pe-development: this phase let you know the 'primary' feasibility of bonded feature/garment on given fabric (both woven & knit type). To know the feasibility of bonding on your expected fabric, you have to follow below activity.

a) Actual sample fabric (where bonding feature exists) two yards each (light and dark color) required one month ahead of proto request for test purpose.

b) Actual accessories like zipper are required for test purpose ( if possible color wise, based on bonding features).

c) At least two week required for test completion (if first glue trial works well then 8 days if fail then 15 days required for test purpose).

d) If any other accessories or fabric exists bonded feature than required those item accordingly for test purpose.

e) Test recap and then feature selection with different option proposal if there any difficulties on asking feature.

f) Feature rough costing & initial material consumption.

g) Buyer technical sheet or guide line analysis for feature development as well as feature technical process flow,

h) Tool box preparation,

i) Feature final review and information record.

ii) Development: the activities of this phase can be start only after getting 'primary' confirmation of bonding feasibility on given fabric.All the activities in this phase must be control with 'Quality Assurance'.

a) Test sample making (Pattern Test Sample).

b) Actual proto sample making following pattern test sample.

c) Proto costing / material consumption preparation right after qualified actual proto sample compilation.

d) Proto test record with picture of full garments and each feature.

e) Proto technical difficulties notice to concern people or department like pattern, sales, merchandiser.

f) Proto develop sample wash performance check right after sample finished.
