8 Mandatory Checks Which We Do Follow
No Hole in Garment
Right at the sourcing step, the fabric is checked to ensure no whole or stain is there. Composition, gsm, pulled or loose yarn, off colors, fastness, fading, stain, rust, flaw, spot, smear, tear, grain.
No Stain on Garment
A garment goes through various hands and process. Despite keeping clean work place, stains use to come. We do check this at finishing level.
No Loose Thread
Right at the sourcing step, the fabric is checked to ensure no whole or stain is there. Composition, gsm, pulled or loose yarn, off colors, fastness, fading, stain, rust, flaw, spot, smear, tear, grain.
No Printing Mistakes
Color, fasting etc are checked once we receive the fabric to ensure there is no printing mistake before we cut and after we stitch.
No Stitching Error
Right at the sourcing step, the fabric is checked to ensure no whole or stain is there. Composition, gsm, pulled or loose yarn, off colors, fastness, fading, stain, rust, flaw, spot, smear, tear, grain.
Color Fastening & Bleeding
Sometime due to color quality or fabric quality or weather, these problems keep coming. But we do check and ensure you get defect-free garments.
100% Pre-Shrunk
Due to property of fabric, few fabric usually shrink after washing or dyeing or printing. We essentially do this check.
No Seam Slippage
Seam plays important role in fitment of garment. We essentially do check at once we check the measurement. This happens after stitching.
QUALITY ASPECT RATIO
Quality has three phases and at Billoomi Fashion® we strongly believe that all needs to be met to ensure the best result. You will realize that, it is a joint efforts of you and your manufacturer.
Pre-Production
-
During this phase, this is important that you provide the correct design details, specifications
-
You go for best quality material out of the sourcing we do for you
-
You allow good time and hand to develop the sample for you and fix the technical error if any comes due to mistake in design details.
-
Once we send you the sample, you examine this physically. You give approval on fitment, fabric quality and workmanship.
-
If there is any issue / error found at your end, you be very honest / frank and give clearer comment so that we can re-make the sample (if needed) before going to production phase.
Production
-
During this phase, as manufacturer, we go blind and follow your approved sample. We go blind because, this is your product and what you approve we deliver!
-
We take care of bulk cutting, printing and all other works as per the approved sample.
-
Before and after cutting, we do the quality checks
-
After fabric dyeing and printing (whatever involved) we do check the quality consistency.
-
During and after the stitching, we ensure the same approved quality what you have approved as pre-production sample
Post-Production
-
This is basically the time of finishing which takes place once all pieces are well stitched and arrived at finishing team.
-
We check each and every single piece as well as its each single components - collar, cuff, bodice, front, back, zip, joints, seam, zip, buttons, button holes and many many more.
-
Once every single pieces are checked and met our unique 22 points quality checks then it will go for packing.
-
Packing is equally important for us. This is not just about putting a folded piece of garment in a plastic bag.
-
We ensure several things such as label, tag, bag size, label over bag and sticker over carton
-
The story which began several weeks ago, reaches to important milestone when the shipping carrier (DHL/UPS/TNT/FedEx) picks the carton box and delivers to your door-step.
-
You receives the bulk and shares your feedback
