Making Process
Both laminated and non-laminated jute fabrics are taken. Then the jute fabric is taken to cutting department. As per drawing, design and size cut the jute fabric to make bags. Fabric is arranged in layers and cut according to the product pattern. Cut fabric is marked according to product coding. Then the cut fabrics are taken for printing process.
The required cut fabric is taken for printing process. The printing on the jute bag is made by using a screen by arranging the fabrics on a large printing table. Water-based colors are used for printing. The printing cloth is placed on the table and then the screen is placed above the fabric. The dye is applied over the screen using the squeegee. The dye is pressed from bottom to top and top to bottom. Once the printing is done the fabric is left to dry. Then dried fabric is taken for stitching.
All the body parts such as the front back body, gusset, and handle of a bag are stitched together in a stitching machine. After completion of total works, pack the bags and dispatch them to market for sale.
