Sorting, Bundling, Storage and transfer for Production.

After the completion of the cutting process the spread is first sorted out in respect of different sizes and the components of the pattern and than these sorted out components are handled according to the production policy and the needs of the plant. The manner of folding or superposing the plies in the bundles should be such that there is (a) minimum or no creasing, and (b) minimum or no disarraying of the cut alignment. Any deviation from these two principles increases the pick-up and positioning time for the sewing operator. If the bundle must be tied securely because of movement before the operator gets the bundle care should be taken not to use card or other ties which may mar the surface or edge of the cut plies. Boxes are an excellent means for bundling and transporting cut sections without the necessity of bundle tying. This saves tying and untying time.
