Fabric Source: |
As a primary check to ensure quality, we guide suppliers as to proper source of fabric and identify industries which can deliver in time, good quality fabric of desired weight, construction and colour etc. |
Identify supplier: |
Every factory we deal with is evaluated at two levels:
- To assess capacity and capability.
- To check environmental control and adherence to Labor Laws.
|
Sampling: |
We arrange sampling from appropriate suppliers as per buyers designs, sketches etc. Samples against orders and Promotional samples sent by suppliers are free of charge. |
Prices: |
We scrutinize prices quoted by the supplier and with our own experience of the cost structure in the country, obtain the most realistic prices from them. |
Quality control: |
Once an order has been placed with a supplier, we take the following steps to see that only correct merchandise is shipped:
- We draw samples of fabric to be used and check its quality, weight, shrinkage, colour fastness, etc. We call for lab-dips and obtain buyers' approval of shades before bulk fabric is dyed.
- Before production is started, we obtain approval sample and check it minutely in all respects such as size specification, workmanship, cleanliness and proper fit of the garment.
- We also suggest from time to time, possible improvements in production process to improve workmanship and get perfect merchandise.
- Our quality controllers visit factories at regular intervals, making surprise checks, to see that only the correct quality is produced and reject sub-standard and defective pieces in the production pipeline itself.
- When the consignment is ready, we carry out systematic inspection as suggested by our buyers. If the merchandise is found satisfactory, we issue a certificate of inspection.

Follow up: |
We follow up each order in precise details from fabric to garment, to shipment stage. At each stage, progress is intimated to buyer and he is kept informed of the actual status of his orders throughout. |
Shipping/Cargo handling: |
Shipping documents are checked to verify their conformity to buyers instructions and sent well in advance to the buyer.
As a policy, we insist that all our cargo must be handled only by a reputed Forwarder, so that, we get correct information well in time about exact sailing details, ETD / ETA of vessels and may also try for priority in booking and loading wherever possible. In suitable circumstances, we may arrange grouping of cargo arriving from different suppliers. This system enables the buyer to import several consignments as one lot and reduces his import cost on freight, clearing, forwarding and cargo handling. We can assist if required in negotiating and obtain special freight rates on the basis of regular turnover. This too results in reducing buyer's cost of import. |
