Garment dyeing process:
Garment dyeing is a
comparatively new technology for us. In this process solid color garments is
dyed after making garments from the grey fabric.
This is comparatively lower cost dyeing than that of fabric dyeing process and
it takes less time. In this system no possibility of shade variation within the
garments. By this process old garments can be re-dyed.

of the garments
·
To avoid delay of bulk order
delivery
·
To wash the garments after dyeing
Equipments:
For garments dyeing there is not necessary for any elaborate machine. Here all the pre-treatment, dyeing and finishing could be produced at same machine.

Precaution to be taken before garments dyeing:
·
Garments to be dyed required design
to be used should be considered from engineering point of view.
·
If elastic materials are used in the
garments then that elastic materials may loss their elastic power or
properties.
·
If there are knitted and woven
fabric in the same garments then after the garments dyeing the knitted fabric
may shrinkage more than that of woven and there will be seam puckering problems
in the garments and garment will be faulty and that will be rejected.
·
If the garment or grey fabric is
made from mixed fiber such as cotton and viscose then the two fibers will not
absorbed same dye and then there will be a shade problem after dyeing.
Results:
After completing this experiment we got a washed look dyed garments.
Conclusion:
Now a days garments exporting business is going much competition in the world where there is a big fact is the time for the shipment of the garments to the buyer and as we have no direct root to export to the American or European market so we need more time to reach there so we have to be fast in out production and we have to offer less price in the market. So by considering above all mentioned point we have to use garments dyeing technique which make the process shorter.
