Sewing Thread New Standard Implemented In September

The national standard of sewing thread, which has been drafted by Quanzhou enterprises, has been approved by the National Standardization Management Committee and will be formally implemented in September 1st this year.

Experts believe that the implementation of this standard will lead to the shuffle of the line industry, and the related effects will also be pmitted to the garment manufacturing links downstream of the industrial chain.

Changes in the pattern of line industry

At present, although all kinds of high technology are applied to clothing products, sewing thread is still an important integrated media to sew fabrics into garments. Therefore, the cable industry is still an indispensable branch of the global textile and garment industry.

However, due to the small investment in sewing thread production and large market demand, there are a large number of small workshop type enterprises.

"There are about more than 200 sewing thread manufacturers in the whole region of Quanzhou, with very few brands, and less famous in China."

According to the insiders, overseas famous line brands have entered the domestic market, such as the British high school, the United States a & E, etc., all investing in factories or establishing marketing networks all over the country, bringing enormous pressure to the domestic line enterprises.

On the other hand, with the rising price of raw materials and the brand of China's clothing industry in recent years, the market has become more and more demanding for quality, and higher requirements for accessories have also been made.

Expert analysis pointed out that with the overall upgrading of Quanzhou's textile and garment industry, the line industry will be shuffled.

In the future, the domestic line industry will form a new trend of development, that is to say, through various refinement standards, the products in the industry will be gradually removed and the Pyramid structure will be formed.

"Because standardization can not only enable enterprises to produce high-quality products, but also regulate the industry order, eliminate unfair competition such as low quality and low price, and guide the orderly development of industry."

Experts say.

New standards require improvement

The new standard was drafted jointly by the Chinese and American wire industry and the Shanghai textile industry technical supervision institute last year, while the Sino US line was jointly established by the American line company and Dunhuang group wire Co., Ltd.

According to Wang Dongzhu, general manager of Dunhuang group (Jinjiang) Co., Ltd., the new standard is based on the practice of many years in the industry, integrating and revising the original industry standard "cotton wax and light sewing thread", "cotton sewing thread", "polyester sewing thread", "sewing thread test method", "sewing thread acceptance rules", "sewing thread packaging signs and pportation safekeeping".

"Compared with the original standards, the new standards differ mainly in internal quality and appearance quality indicators, which are divided into superior products, first grade products, qualified products, single line breaking strength, single line breaking strength variation coefficient, color fastness index, package moisture regain and color difference, color flower, sandwich and so on."

He said.

Trigger industrial chain innovation

Sewing thread is used to sew all kinds of clothing products with double functions of practicality and decoration.

The quality of suture not only affects the quality of sewing and clothing, but also affects the appearance of finished products.

According to analysis, the implementation of the new standard of sewing thread will lead to the innovation of garment manufacturing links downstream of the industrial chain.

Dagono, chief researcher of China Brand Research Institute, said: "with the growing maturity of consumer psychology in the market, it is increasingly clear that a good quality clothing and accessories are very important.

If you take a close look at shoppers in shopping malls, you will find that an important basis for judging clothing quality is accessories, such as measuring the quality of trousers, whether the zipper brand is YKK or SBS, whether the fabric is DuPont and so on.

This gives the excipients a chance to see and bring new marketing thinking to this industry.

DuPont, 3M and other Brand Company have put their labels on the prominent positions of clothing.

According to the insiders, sewing thread is basically negligible for the cost of a garment, but it is such a negligible thread that can not be underestimated for the quality of the garment.

The clothing industry is developing towards green, high technology and high demand for the line industry.

Dagono said that a company in Jiangsu exported to the European Union 10 thousand windbreaker, because the sewing thread was detected over azo dye was returned to the standard; another company exported to Germany, a number of casual wear, clothing sewing thread embroidery patterns detected banned azo dyes exceeded, not only was returned, but also claims for more than 40 yuan.

The use of an unattractive "problem" sewing line results in the fact that the entire export garment is being returned or the enterprise has been claimed, which is not expected by the relevant production enterprises.

"In a sense, China's line enterprises are facing the same opportunities and challenges as garment enterprises."

According to Wang Dongzhu analysis, the clothing technology level of domestic enterprises is no less than that of the European and American international clothing brands, but the raw materials are the short board of the domestic garment industry.

Nowadays, the competition of the clothing industry is not the competition of the individual, but the competition of the whole industry chain.

Sewing thread as an important material for clothing, the implementation of this new standard will to some extent promote further innovation in the field of garment industry.
