Knitting Production Process

Our skilled team of employees together with cutting-edge technology allow us to create fabrics that stand out for their versatility and high quality, while having sustainable options to chose from and strict control adapted to our customers' preferences.

Knitting Production Process

1. Receiving and Processing Orders

As soon as the customer's order is received, the fabric to be knitted is identified, as well as the raw materials that will be needed.

VIPALTEX is committed to responsible and sustainable production and holds several certifications.

By offering our customers a wide range of possibilities through organic, recycled and mixed fabrics, we aim to differentiate ourselves in the market with quick but conscious feedback. Thus, it is at the very beginning of the whole process that the type of fabric and its certification is agreed with the client.

Receiving and Processing Orders

2. Preparation of raw materials and circular looms

The circular loom on which the fabric is to be knitted is cleaned, the needles are checked and all the parameters are adjusted.

The raw material is placed on the loom in order to start production.

3. Knitting

It is the "core" production process, where the yarn that is our raw material is transformed into the final product.

We produce all types of fabric with various levels of complexity and different weights - from the most basic jerseys, to rib knits with needle selection, interlock jacquard and leece with the most diverse specificities.

We also produce a large number of samples in order to meet the customer's requirements at the earliest.

Manufacturing process

We have a modern and functional production unit, which incorporates advanced technologies, divided into model making, cutting, manufacturing, packaging and shipping sectors.

With a sales department totally dedicated to the client, our manufacturing production develops prototypes quickly and efficiently, working directly with the client to deliver textile materials that transform the client's idea/design into high-quality garments.

Manufacturing process

1. Idea

Our team is always looking for new technologies, materials and techniques to create original and innovative concepts. We are tuned to market trends and seek to incorporate current and sustainable elements into our concepts, working collaboratively with the client to create designs that inspire and charm. Our ultimate goal is to provide unique and distinguished experiences that convey the desired concept for each client and brand.

Idea

2. Preparation

The cooperation between our sales and model makers team creates a perfect symbiosis and plays a major role in the process of planning, preparing and designing the showcase, as they are responsible for turning the idea into a real garment. With the aid of model making skills and techniques, we create a physical prototype of the product, based on the technical specifications provided by the client.

The advanced technology of the integrated CAD/CAM system also plays a key role in this process by allowing the model making team to work on the virtual model, helping to visualize the final product in order to make adjustments before creating and cutting a physical prototype, to ensure that the idea in the paper draft comes to life in a real garment.

Preparation

3. Validation

Before we start manufacturing, we carefully analyze and test every aspect of your collection to ensure that it meets our high standards of quality and performance. We work closely with our team of technicians and craftsmen who validate patterns and materials, making the necessary adjustments to obtain the best final product.

Validation

4. Rework and Cutting

During the rework and cutting phase of production process, our team of skilled craftsmen meticulously inspect and correct any imperfections in our materials before cutting them to size. Using advanced machinery and precision tools, we carefully cut our textiles to ensure that each piece of garment meets our strict standards of accuracy and consistency.

The use of advanced technology and precision tools ensures accurate and consistent cuts. Each piece is cut to size according to the design specifications, ensuring that all parts fit perfectly and meet our strict standards of quality.

5. Manufacturing and Packaging

At the manufacturing stage, we have a team of highly qualified and experienced craftsmen. We invest in passing on the know-how acquired over the decades and in constant training. The pieces are crafted one by one with precision and care, guaranteeing the highest quality standards.

After manufacturing, our products go through an internal quality inspection stage, ensuring its quality's traceability from the selection of raw materials to the final finishing of garments. Then the garments go to packaging where they are carefully packaged in order to preserve their integrity during transport. At this stage, we prioritize sustainable and recyclable materials, seeking to minimize the environmental impact and the ecological footprint of our actions.

Circular manufacturing

Our commitment
Circular manufacturing .

Tab

Circular manufacturing is a concept that seeks to minimize waste and maximize the use of resources throughout the whole product's life cycle. Instead of following a linear model of production, in which products are manufactured, used and discarded, Vipaltex is committed to create a continuous cycle in which production waste is sent to a recycling unit to be recycled and reused, and then reintroduced into the manufacturing chain. This way, we reduce the need to extract new resources and we minimize waste production.
