In the textile industry, fabric shrinkage control is crucial to ensure that finished garments meet the expectations of both producers and consumers. This practice is essential for managing the phenomenon of post-wash shrinkage, which can significantly affect the appearance and fit of garments. Fun Factory Mode adopts a proactive method to tackle this challenge, implementing fabric shrinkage control across all raw materials purchased.

The Fabric Shrinkage Forecasting Process

The method adopted by Fun Factory Mode involves conducting precise shrinkage tests on specific fabric rolls. Fabric samples measuring 50 cm are cut and then subjected to simulated treatments, to anticipate how they will respond to washing. By measuring the samples after treatment, Fun Factory’s technicians can determine whether the fabric will maintain its original dimensions or undergo alterations and, if so, to what extent. This approach to fabric shrinkage control not only ensures that the fabric can withstand the production process without unwanted distortions, but also provides a significant competitive advantage. By knowing in advance the potential changes in the fabric, Fun Factory Mode can give clients a preview of the final effect of the garment. This allows for timely adjustments before proceeding with mass production.

The Role of the Pattern Making Office

In 2005, to further optimize this process, Fun Factory Mode integrated a Pattern Making Department into its workshop. This department specializes in the preventive analysis of all factors influencing the final composition of garments. Through in-depth studies, ongoing updates, and detailed knowledge of fabric properties, the department accurately predicts fabric shrinkage and necessary adjustments, precisely printing each piece.

This approach not only ensures greater accuracy in the finished product but also provides added value to clients, who can count on high-quality collections. The combination of innovative techniques and accumulated experience makes Fun Factory Mode a benchmark in its sector. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of investing in technologies and skills that anticipate and resolve fabric shrinkage issues before they impact the final result.
