Fig. 13.3 Bundles of cut components ready for transportation to a sewing line.

13.6.1 The formation of a full set of components

The full set of all the component bundles of a style is placed on a table. They are tied
with fabric strips (usually cut from the edges of fabrics used in the cutting process)
to fix the components together and to prevent their loss during transportation to the
sewing line (see Fig. 13.3). The bundles of components that will later be joined are
combined in larger bundles. For example, one large bundle may contain bundles of
an outer sleeve, an under sleeve, and cuffs. If the sewing line has a separate section
for processing small components, their bundles are sorted separately and transported
directly to this part of the sewing line.

13.6.2 The grouping of cut articles by size
A full set of component bundles for each size is completed separately. This ensures the
concurrent processing of one size of a style in the sewing line, the fixing of the correct
sizing labels, and the separate packing and recording of completed goods according
to size.

13.6.3 The grouping of cut articles by colours

The grouping of cut components by colour is necessary to process different colour
articles with the corresponding colour threads and matching accessories such as
buttons and zippers. It is also the usual practice to pack and record ready goods
according to colour.
