Quality Inspection in Garment Sample Section
Garment sample making is one of the main processes in garment manufacturing and it plays a vital role in attracting buyers and confirming the order, as the buyers generally place the order once satisfied with the quality and responsiveness of the sample making. Garment samples are inevitably important and are developed and tested before starting bulk production. So, checking the quality of garment samples is a very important task. In different parts of the garment, samples should be checked separately. I present Quality Inspection in the Garment Sample Section.
Sample quality is precise, very tiny defects are also not acceptable. That is why a dedicated and separate sample section is in the garments industry. Their job responsibilities are to make samples for buyers and ensure the required quality levels in the sample.
