Custom Knitted Ribbed Collar Manufacturers

What post-processing procedures will be carried out after the knitted ribbed collar is produced? How to conduct quality inspection on the finished rib collar? What are the inspection standards including size, elasticity, appearance defects, etc.?

Post-processing procedures
Washing and shrinking treatment:
After the rib knit collar is produced, it will first be pre-shrunk. This step aims to pre-shrink the fabric by controlling the temperature and washing conditions, thereby reducing the shrinkage rate of the final product during consumer use. The company uses advanced washing equipment to ensure that the washing process is uniform and gentle, avoiding unnecessary damage to the fabric.
Drying and shaping:
After washing, the rib collar needs to be dried to remove excess moisture. During the drying process, the control of temperature and time is crucial. Too high a temperature or too long a time may cause the fabric to deform or fade. Jilida has precise drying equipment to ensure that the knitted collar reaches an ideal dry state while maintaining its original shape and color.
Shaping is a key step in post-processing, which determines the final shape and dimensional stability of the rib collar. By using a professional shaping machine, the rib collar is fixed into the required shape under specific temperature and pressure to ensure that it maintains good appearance and performance during wearing and use.
Finishing and packaging:
The rib collar needs to be sorted after shaping, including trimming the thread ends, checking the surface defects, etc., to ensure the neat appearance of the product.
Finally, the knitted ribbed collar will be folded or rolled according to customer requirements and placed in moisture-proof and dust-proof packaging bags, ready for shipment.
Quality inspection
Quality inspection is a key link to ensure that the quality of rib collars meets international standards and customer requirements. Jilida has a complete laboratory equipped with a series of high-precision instruments, such as color fastness testers, anti-pilling testers, HP value testers, etc., which provide a solid hardware foundation for quality inspection.
Size inspection:
Size is the basic parameter of rib collars, which directly affects their fit and wearing effect. The company uses precise measuring tools, such as digital calipers, length gauges, etc., to measure key dimensions such as length, width, collar circumference of rib collars to ensure that each batch of products meets the design specifications.
Elasticity test: The elasticity of a rib knit collar is one of its important properties, which determines the fit and comfort of the collar. The company tests the elasticity of the rib collar using a tensile testing machine to evaluate its recovery ability under different tensile forces. The test includes indicators such as fixed elongation force, fixed elongation rate, and elastic recovery rate to ensure that the rib collar can maintain good elasticity after multiple wearing and washing.
Appearance defect inspection: Appearance defects directly affect the appearance of the product and customer satisfaction. Inspectors will conduct a visual inspection of the rib collar to look for possible defects such as yarn breakage, weaving errors, color difference, stains, etc. The company also uses a high-definition image recognition system to automatically detect rib collars to improve the accuracy and efficiency of defect detection.
Color fastness test: Color fastness is an important indicator for evaluating the color durability of rib collars. The company uses a color fastness tester to simulate daily washing, sun exposure, friction and other conditions to evaluate the degree of color change of rib collars. The tests include washing color fastness, sunlight color fastness, rubbing color fastness and other aspects to ensure that the color of the rib collar is stable and not easy to fade during use.
Anti-pilling test:
Rib collars are prone to pilling due to friction during wearing, which affects the appearance. The company uses an anti-pilling tester to simulate the friction in actual wearing and evaluate the anti-pilling performance of rib collars. The test results will serve as a basis for improving fabric formulas and production processes to improve product durability.
Other performance tests:
In addition to the above basic tests, the company will also conduct other performance tests according to customer needs, such as breathability, moisture absorption, HP value (pH), etc., to ensure that the rib collars meet international standards and customer requirements in all aspects.
