MADE UPS
1. INTRODUCTION:
Various articles other than garments, made out of fabric are called made ups. Common
examples of made ups are Table mats, Tea coasters, Face napkins, Hand napkins, Kitchen
napkins, Aprons, Table covers, Wall hangings etc. These items are used in the homes and
offices on daily basis and find usage in bed, bath, kitchen and dining areas.
Made ups are generally made out of woven fabric. Cotton fiber is used in most made ups to
enhance water absorption capacity. Hand napkins & Face napkins are also used in
restaurants, hotels, Beauty / Massage parlours and offices apart from homes. Wall hangings
are used for decorative purposes in homes and offices. Table mats & Tea coasters are used
commercial establishments apart from homes. Made ups also include bed sheets and pillow /
cushion covers but these are not covered in this Project Profile because it is a specialized
business catering exclusively to bed linen manufacturers & retailers. The focus here is on
products having significantly higher retail consumption.
Increase in earnings and disposable income has led to the demand for home furnishing and
made up articles. Impact of western culture and health consciousness has given rise to the
demand for table mats, apron, caps and other hygiene related products. As the society
progresses, the demand for these products shall witness a continuous growth
5. MARKET POTENTIAL AND MARKETING ISSUES, IF ANY:
Growing awareness about cleanliness and hygiene is the main reason behind spurt in demand
of hand napkins, face napkins, aprons. While wall hangings have decorative value, table mats
& tea coasters have utility value. As these products are used in every household to some
extent, the overall market size becomes huge in country like India.
The main raw material is cotton fabric made from low & medium count of cotton yarn which
is easily available in grey and dyed forms. Printed fabric is also used in some made ups.
7. MANUFACTURING PROCESS:
The fabric purchased in roll form is spread in layers on the cutting table. Patterns of various
parts of the garment made out of card board or plywood or metal are laid on the fabric in
such a way that wastage of fabric is minimized. Several layers of fabric are then cut through
vertical motorized blade. Made ups are stitched in assembly line manner wherein each
machine operator completes only a part of the product. The stitching starts on the 1st
machine and gets completed at the last stage where the product is inspected for quality
defects if any. Some articles are sent for further work like embroidery, special patch-work,
piping etc. Products are finally cleaned of loose yarn or dirt and packed in plastic bags as per
customer requirements.
