 1. Sample Section :
It is the first section of garment manufacturing process. This section is used in apparel
industry for-

a) To make sample garment for approval.

b) To make pattern sets for bulk production when needed.

GARMENT SAMPLING
               
                  Garment sampling is very much important process. It is a
model of what the bulk production is going to be done. The sampling is
quite difficult but it will make the buyers to get attractiveness towards
the industry. Because the buyers generally places the order after they are
satisfied with the quality of the samples. Garment sampling is a very
important task in an apparel manufacturing because it gives the
satisfaction of the customer with respect to the product being
manufactured. This is in turn important because if the buyer is not
satisfied by the samples, this puts the following at risk:

       i.            Placement of the order

    ii.            Acceptance of the some or the entire quantity of garments produced.

There may be a separate sampling department in a company. But

as the merchandiser is the person who is interacting with the buyers
 regarding samples and other requirements, this sampling department will
work under the guidance Also as the samples are to be made according
to the buyers’ price ranges and quality levels, merchandiser has to advise

Purpose of Sampling:
 To allow the buyer to judge the production capabilities of the
manufacturer.
 To provide a means for making revisions in the bulk production process.
 To let the manufacturer estimate the thread and fabric consumption, and
develop cost quotations.
The Details Attached to the Garment Sample
 After the confirmation of order, each sample sent to the
buyer has the following details attached to it, with the help of a tag. It
contains the details of both, what the buyer has demanded and what the
supplier fabric/trim etc they have used.

 Ref no.
 Color
 Fabric
 Composition
 Description
 Quantity
 Style no/ Size
 Store

PROTO SAMPLES OR FIT SAMPLES

These samples are done after getting the new order from the
buyer. These samples are needed to check the measurements, style and
fit. So they can be made in available similar fabrics but in the actual
measurements and specifications given from the buyer.

Some buyers may need these samples if they want to print

the photos of garments on packing box, hang tag, in showrooms,etc.,.
 After sending the proto samples the buyers will conduct
discussion over the samples and they will access the content of the
sample and give us comment and reviews.

PHOTOSHOOT SAMPLE
In this category which deals mainly with the real fitting
on garments. The buyers will conduct photo-shoot sessions with the
samples we have sent. By this we can clearly get the fitting requirements
and problems in the measurements. By doing this buyer can give us
comments with the photo attachments.

SALESMAN SAMPLE
The buyer needs these samples for getting the orders
from their customers. If the buyer is having 7 salesmen in his office,
then the buyer will ask us to make 7 samples in each style.

The salesmen will book the orders from their customers,

by showing these samples. Buyer will place the order to us according to
customer attractness towards the sample.
 Sales samples are made with actual fabric and trims and
accessories. Buyer pays for salesman samples to the developer

SIZESET SAMPLES
These sample are done after the salesman sample.In SMS we
will sent samples in one size only.Hence sizeset samples are are done to
check the grading of all sizes are ok and the measurements are quite
good.

COUNTER SAMPLE OR REFERENCE SAMPLE

These are the sample which are made as same as the other
samples. We will sent samples to the buyer and keep one of the same
sample for our reference. By getting acceptance from the buyer we can
proceed the work according to the reference sample we have with us.

PRE-PRODUCTION SAMPLES
These samples are almost like approval samples. They
have to be made in actual production fabric with actual bulk trims.
They will represent that the production will be like these samples.
These samples are to be sent before starting the actual
production. Hence these samples are needed to be perfect in all manners.
Buyer may check these samples for everything or anything. Some times,
they may do wash test also. We should not get any remark or comment.
We have to get only ‘OK’ from the buyer.
Online sample:
Once production is online, few pieces is taken out in the
middle of the production. Production pieces are sent to buyer as TOP
sample. All buyers does not asked for TOP sample. Purpose is to cross-
check whether factory is following PP sample specification or not

SHIPMENT SAMPLES
These samples are to be sent just before shipment. They
should be sent in actual packing with all labels, tags, etc. (Generally
these samples will not be tested by buyer for anything). And even if we
get some comments from buyers like changes in price tag or changes in
the assortments we can adopt the changes in the process but its not the
risk for the supplier.
Relaxation Period:

Fabric relaxation is performed for a certain period. This time is varied from fabric to fabric. But
the minimum time of relaxation is twelve (12) hours. This time also may vary according to the
buyer’s recommendation.

After fabric relaxation, different tests are performed for maintaining the proper quality.
