What かばん・袋物製造 do
An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:
袋物の製造は、商品のデザイン、見本・型紙作り、材料の裁断と加工、縫製と仕上げの４つの工程に分かれる。一般的に袋物製造の仕事という場合は、裁断・加工と縫製・仕上げの工程をさす場合が多い。
裁断の工程では、デザインに合わせて作った型紙通りに、プレス機やナイフ、ハサミを用いて、皮革や布などの材料を裁断する。キズやムラのある所を避けながら、材料に無駄が出ないように切り取る。次に加工の工程では、縫製の準備として、主材料が皮革の場合には縫製しやすいように部分的にはがす革漉き(かわすき)という作業を、布や毛皮、ニットを使う場合には不織布などで裏打ちを施す作業を行う。
縫製の工程では、各パーツ、ファスナーや止め金具、裏地などを合わせ、工業用ミシンや手作業で縫って製品の形にする。縫製後の仕上げでは製品をチェックしたり、表面の汚れを除いたり、磨きやつや出しを行ったりする。
