Placement Print Setting It Correctly on a Tech Pack
Placement Print should be written into the tech pack with a value, a tolerance and a method. This removes ambiguity from quotations.
Definition to agree
print positioned to the garment pattern. Working figures for Placement Print normally sit around requires print-matched cutting in mainstream production. Note printing plus cutting control on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Target value
Open the specification at requires print-matched cutting, adjusted to the end use. Record elastane content alongside Placement Print, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside requires print-matched cutting usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
Method line
Always pair the target with printing plus cutting control so the mill and the laboratory test the same way. Keeping reference values for Placement Print lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with printing plus cutting control, since both affect the reading.
Tolerance line
State plus or minus limits to keep production realistic while protecting the requirement. Working figures for Placement Print normally sit around requires print-matched cutting in mainstream production. Note printing plus cutting control on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Approval step
Approve the result on pre-production bulk rather than on development fabric only. Record elastane content alongside Placement Print, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside requires print-matched cutting usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
