CAD DEPARTMENT-
Patterns for all components of various garments, as well as markings, are
developed using the CAD programme.Computer-aided design (CAD) is
frequently used for design and drafting, generating reports, three dimensional
modeling, finite element analysis and as an input source for computer-aided
manufacturing
LAYING and SPREADING -

In the Spreading process,large rolls of fabric are unwined into long, wide tables in
preparation for cutting each piece of a garment. The number of layers of fabric is
dictated by the number of garments desired and the fabric thickness.A lay slip is created
for each lay specifying the fabric code, color, number of plies, end bit calculation,
damages,balance fabric, etc. Laying is done on vacuum tables with perforated brown
paper as base;perforated so that the whole lay can move on different tables seamlessly
when laying or cutting and when the vacuum is turned on for the lay to be in place, it
holds the lay too.
CUTTING DEPARTMENT -
3
This department is called the heart of the garment industry. The marker plan is fed into
the automated machine, which cuts the clothing designs on the spread fabric and
removes them from the layer.Mostly using the straight knife cutting machine (for non-
fusibles) or the band knife cutting machine (for fusible)
FUSING AND IRONING -

Fusing of the received fabric pieces is done one by one with the fusion material already
loaded into the machine. These pieces are ironed, cut according to the pattern and then
layered. After this process, the fusibles come back in the main process.
BUNDLING -
After the fabric has been cut and fused, individual pieces are bundled together to be
sent for stitching, but before that, they are passed through the stickering phase. Each
bundle is marked using stickers to sort via size and color. Once stickering is done, the
numbers are matched and they are sent for stitching.
SEWING DEPARTMENT -
After receiving the garments components from the cutting section, all the garments
parts are joined and sewn sequentially. Obviously all the components are sewn with
respect to buyer requirements.
Sewing section is the most important department of a garment manufacturing industry.

Sewing machines of different types are arranged as a vertical line to assemble the
garments. Sequence of types of sewing machine arrangement depends on the
sequence of assembling operations.
PRESSING-
The sewn garment is properly pressed on vacuum tables and then passed on for
Inspection.
CHECKING-
Initial checking- the stitching on the inside of the garment is checked
4
Final checking- the stitching on the outside of the garment is checked

Audit- the garment is checked fully and passed.
If there are any faults, the garment is sent for correction or discarded if it is an
irreparable damage.
FINISHING -
Stitched garments are finished in the finishing department. Finishing activities are
performed prior to packing garments into poly bags. The major activities of a finishing
department include thread trimming, checking garments and ironing. Attachment of
trims like buttons, eye-hoes, etc. is done. The uncut threads from stitching are also
trimmed here. Full checking of the garment is done, if any faults are found, it is sent for
alteration. A final checking is done and the fully approved garments are sent for
packaging.
PACKAGING -
After final inspection & garments folding, the garments are poly-packed dozen-wise,
color wise, size ratio wise, bundled and packed in the carton. The carton is marked with
important information in printed form which is seen from outside the carton easily.
Specially, it is needed to ensure the placement of sticker in proper place
