The key to improving your cashmere sweater brand’s market position and avoiding getting caught in a price war is to focus on quality. The following are six important quality control steps:
- Raw material and supplier selection
- Choosing quality cashmere yarn directly affects the quality of the product. Before purchasing yarn, it should be tested for weight, moisture content, composition quality control, physical function and appearance quality. Choose a stable yarn supplier, preferably with a good working relationship with a cooperative spinning mill to ensure the stability of yarn quality.
- Pay attention to the moisture content at the time of yarn purchase. Due to the influence of climate, the weight of actual moisture content will be different from the weight of standard moisture content. Therefore, pay attention to the influence of air humidity on sales and treat it according to the standard weight when calculating the receiving material.
2、Strengthen the effective monitoring of the production process
- The production process of cashmere sweater processing mainly includes weaving piece, opening mouth, hand sewing, light washing and drying, finishing and ironing, quality inspection and packaging. Each link needs to be checked and supervised by someone, not just quality inspection on the finished products. Problems found should be dealt with in time to ensure product quality and avoid wasting raw materials and labor.
3、Optimize the post-treatment of cashmere sweater
- Washing and shrinking treatment of cashmere sweater is the key. We should choose appropriate detergent, softener and other additives according to the characteristics of the product, and make technical parameters of washing and shrinking to make the best effect of cashmere sweater’s velvet surface, handfeel and color. Test washing of a small piece of fabric must be carried out before the big shipment is washed, and the technical parameters of washing are determined according to the test effect.
4、Control the weight of clothes
- The weight of cashmere sweater is the unit of price calculation, and weight control is especially important. The approximate gram weight of the clothing should be estimated at the sample design stage, and the knitting technology should be adjusted as needed. Pay attention to control the loss of each link in mass production, including the loss in the washing process, etc.
5、Accessory selection
- Accessories on cashmere sweaters such as buttons, zippers, ribbons, beads, etc. are strictly inspected and tested to prevent problems such as decolorization, shrinkage and breakage. Labels
and washing instructions should also be correctly positioned to ensure no omissions or incorrect installation.
6、After-sales service
- After-sales service is an extension of the quality of goods, and it is crucial for each cashmere sweater brand to establish an image in the minds of customers and the concept of providing service to them. Collect and analyze consumers’ feedback information in a timely manner to make improvements. Providing timely after-sales services such as free repairs helps to improve the level of merchandise and brand image.
