Differences Between Garments And Fabrics Dyeing

Generally, we dye fiber, yarn, or fabric. After that, the dyed and finished fabric is used for making the garments. The dyeing by which garments (Made from grey fabric or bleached fabric) are dyed in the required color and shade is called garment dyeing.

 Garment dyeing is a technology where ready-made garments are subjected to the dyeing process. It is almost similar to fabric dyeing. But in fabric dyeing the process is applied before making the garments and in garments dyeing the process is applied after making the garments.

Different types of garments are dyed in garments dyeing technology such as jeans item, skirts, socks, shirts, sweaters, pantyhose, etc.

 Advantages of garments dyeing over the fabric dyeing:

In the garment industry, garment dyeing is a new technology. The popularity of garment dyeing is increasing day by day due to some advantages of dyeing over fabric dyeing. Today, I would like to discuss the advantages of garment dyeing over fabric dyeing.

The advantages of garment dyeing over fabric dyeing are given below-

1. The cost of garment dyeing is comparatively lower the fabric dyeing.

2. In the process of garment dyeing, the possibility of shade variation among components is less than in fabric dyeing.

3. In the garments dyeing needed fewer amounts of dye and chemicals. So here lower liquor ratio is used for the fabric dyeing.

4. The time required for garment dyeing is comparatively less than for fabric dyeing.

5. In the garments dyeing process old garments may be re-dyed. That’s why I like new garments. But in fabric dyeing, it’s not possible.

6. During the consumption of garments 15% extra fabric is calculated. In the case of fabric dyeing, this 15% additional fabric is also dyed. But in the case of garments dyeing, this 15% extra fabric is cut away on the cutting floor in a grey state. Only the actual amount of fabric is dyed here. Therefore, less cost is found in garment dyeing.

7. In the garments dyeing process de-sizing, scouring, bleaching, dyeing, and finishing can be done in the same machine. But in the case of fabric dyeing, these processes are not possible in the same machine.
