Garment Dyeing:
Garment dyeing is a technology. Where ready-made garments are subjected to the dyeing process. It is almost similar to fabric dyeing. But in fabric dyeing, the process is applied before making the garments and in garment dyeing the process is applied after making the garments. There are some differences between garment dyeing and fabric dyeing.
Advantages of garment dyeing over fabric dyeing:
In the garment industries, garment dyeing is the new technology. The popularity of garments is increasing day by day due to some advantages of dyeing over fabric dyeing. Today, I would like to discuss the advantages of garment dyeing over fabric dyeing.

Garments Dyeing
The advantages of garment dyeing over fabric dyeing are given bellow-
1. The cost of garment dyeing is comparatively lower the fabric dyeing.
2. In the process of garment dyeing, the possibility of shade variation among components is less than the fabric dyeing.
3. Garment dyeing needs fewer amounts of dye and chemicals. So here lower liquor ration is used the fabric dyeing.
4. The time required for garment dyeing is comparatively less than fabric dyeing.
5. In garments dyeing process old garments may be re-dyed. That’s why like as new garments. But in fabric dyeing it’s not possible.
6. During the consumption of garments, 15% extra fabric is calculated. In case of fabric dyeing, this 15% additional fabric is also dyed. But in case of garment dyeing, this 15% extra fabric is cut away in the cutting floor at grey state. Only the actual amount of fabric is dyed here. Therefore, less cost is found in garment dyeing.
7. In garments, garment-dyeing process desizing, scouring, bleaching, dyeing, and finishing can be done in the same machine. But in the case of fabric dyeing, these processes are not possible in the same machine.
8. The capital investment cost of garments dyeing is comparatively lower the fabric dyeing.
