Seamless Knitting Specification Targets for Buyers
Setting Seamless Knitting correctly on a tech pack prevents most later disputes. Targets belong on the page before the first fabric sample.
Where to write it
Place Seamless Knitting next to composition and weight so all three are quoted as one package. Working figures for Seamless Knitting normally sit around gauge 14-22 machines in mainstream production. Note seamless circular machines on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Reference level
Typical activewear expectation: gauge 14-22 machines. Record elastane content alongside Seamless Knitting, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside gauge 14-22 machines usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
Tolerances that work
Allow a small tolerance rather than a fixed number, since normal process variation exists in every lot. Keeping reference values for Seamless Knitting lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with seamless circular machines, since both affect the reading.
Verification method
Confirm with seamless circular machines and keep the report against the bulk record. Working figures for Seamless Knitting normally sit around gauge 14-22 machines in mainstream production. Note seamless circular machines on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Commercial note
Tightening beyond practical need raises cost without improving garment life, so set the tightest target only where it protects the customer. Record elastane content alongside Seamless Knitting, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside gauge 14-22 machines usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
