Sewing is the craft of fastening or attaching objects using stitches made with a
needle and thread. Sewing is one of the oldest of textile arts, arising in the Paleolithic
era. Before the invention of spinning yarn or weaving fabric, archaeologists believe
Stone Age People across Europe and Asia sewed fur and skin clothing using bone,
antler or ivory needles and “thread” made of various animal body parts including
sinew, catgut and veins.

Packing
Pressing or Folding:
Although pressing remains largely a manual task, new automated process exists
that apply force and steam to garments placed over a body form.
Different type of folding
 Standard folding
 Semi standard folding
 Flat folding:
- Roll folding
- Hang folding
- Half folding
- Eco folding - Twill folding

Packaging:
After final inspection, the garments are poly-packed, dozen-wise, color wise,
size ratio wise, bundled and packed in the cartoon. The cartoon is marked with
important information in printed form which is seen from outside the cartoon easily.
Assortment:
Buyers generally place order of garments in certain assortment of color and
sizes. The production of such colors and sizes is called assortment. Another order with
an assortment of 1:2:2:1 is shown below:
Color/Size S M L XL Quantity
Red 1000 2000 2000 1000 =6000
Yellow 1000 2000 2000 1000 =6000
Olive 1000 2000 2000 1000 =6000
Violet 1000 2000 2000 1000 =6000
Total =24000
CartooningProcedure:
