INTRODUCTION Value addition is converting of raw materials into finished product.

Value addition increases the aesthetic look of the garment but does not

have any effect on the quality of the product.

The key aspect of value addition is high price, uniqueness, attractiveness

and focusing a business more closely on its targeted market segments.

MAIN REASONS FOR VALUE ADDITION

Increases the value of the garment both by appearance and by price.

Attracts the customer to buy that particular garment. 

And to increase the market demand

2.Chest prints

Special processes 1.Tie and dye

2.Batiks

3.Quilting

Closures

1.buttons

2.Zippers

3.Velcro

4.Hooks and loops

Embroidery Hand embroidery

Machine embroidery

FINISHING Textile finishes are the treatments that are applied to the yarn or fabric to make them suited for specific uses. And to improve the

attractiveness and serviceability of fabric.

FINISHING Mechanical

Chemical

Mechanical finishing

In order to impart the required functional properties to the textile material.

Finishing done with a help of mechanical machines.

e.g. calendaring , compacting ,raising etc.

Chemical finishing

Temporary finish : less durable , finishes washed away during washing or laundering

durable finishes : highly durable , finishes which are not washed away during washing or laundering it with stand up to 50 wash.

e.g. easy care finish, flame retardant finish, water proof finish.

PRINTINGPrinting is a process for reproducing text and images, logos or motif based on our

requirement printing is done , using different types of dyes.

ALL OVER PRINTS: A rotary printing is all over printings .

The process involves initially feeding fabric onto the rubber blanket. As the fabric travels under the rotary screens, Print paste is continuously fed to the interior of the screen through a color bar or pipe.

As the cylinder rotates , dyes are printed on the fabric wit a help of the squeegee device

We can print more than 10 color .

The average speed of the machine 50-120 ypm (45-100 mpm).

CHEST PRINTS:In this printing is done with a help of screen stencile.

 This is also known as stencil method of printing silkscreen, serigraphy.

In this frame is placed over the substrate(fabric)and with a help of  squeegee (rubber blade)

Advantages : The main advantage is the unique visual result it creates. The inks used are very durable.

This is a very flexible printing technology, and economical printing methodology .

Button size is expressed in terms of ligne (English standard) eg.40L button

However, buttons may be sewn onto garments and similar items exclusively for purposes of ornamentation.

Quality parameters: pull strength is very important , its should have large clean sew holes , able to withstand laundering or dry cleaning and pressing.

ZIPPERSA zipper, zip, or zip fastener, is a commonly used device for binding the

edges of an opening of fabric or other flexible material, as on a garment or

a bag . It is used in clothing(e.g., jackets and jeans).

Quality parameters : dimension should be correct ,

• the tape should be in uniform color

•It should not cause wrinkling or puckering after sewn to an garment

•It should not cause ratchating.

Hooks and eyes Hook-and-loop fasteners consist of two components: typically, two lineal

fabric strips (or, alternatively, round "dots" or squares) which are

attached (e.g., sewn, adhered, etc.) to the opposing surfaces to be

fastened.

Hooks and eyes should not be sharp

It is mostly found in ladies’ intimate apparels and in kids wear.

VELCRO

Velcro fasteners made of Teflon loops, polyester hooks, and glass

backing are used in aerospace applications,

Velcro has two components hooks and loops

applications: used in adaptive clothing, in diapers ,in space suites.
