Tufted Fabric: Production and Quality Inspection Guide
1. Production Process
Tufted fabrics are created by mechanically inserting vertical yarns into a pre-woven base fabric through specialized needling. This process forms distinctive pile surfaces that can be:
Loop pile (neobrezan)
Cut pile
Combination of both styles
2. Design Capabilities
The tufting technique enables intricate pattern creation, including:
Floral motifs
Nature-inspired designs (leaves, vines)
Figurative patterns (ballet dancers, western themes)
Geometric and abstract designs
3. Common Applications
Primary uses include:
Wall-to-wall and area carpets
Decorative blankets and bedspreads
Luxurious faux fur textiles
Chenille fabrics for:
Home textiles (posteljna pregrinjala, cushion covers)
Comfort wear (bathrobes, loungewear)
4. Classification within Pile Fabrics
Tufted fabrics belong to the broader pile fabric category, which encompasses:
Velvet
Terry toweling
Chenille
Pile carpets
Alternative production methods:
Knitting
Knotting
Flocking
Nonwoven techniques
5. Quality Inspection Parameters
Visual Inspection:
A. Pile Characteristics Evaluation:
Tuft/loop density per unit area
Consistent pile height measurement
Uniformity of cut/loop patterns
B. Structural Integrity Checks:
Secure yarn anchorage to base fabric
Absence of loose or missing tufts
Uniform pile distribution
C. Aesthetic Verification:
Color consistency across batches
Pattern alignment accuracy
Surface evenness
Performance Testing:
Tuft bind strength (pull-out resistance)
Pile height tolerance verification
Colorfastness assessment
Dimensional stability testing
6. Custom Inspection Requirements
Additional client-specific checks may include:
Special abrasion resistance tests
Unique color matching standards
Custom pattern alignment verification
Specific flammability requirements
7. Industry Standards Compliance
All inspections should reference:
ASTM standards for tufted textiles
ISO quality benchmarks
Customer-specific technical specifications
This comprehensive approach ensures tufted fabrics meet both functional requirements and aesthetic expectations for their intended applications.
