• To achieve optimal efficiency.
• Lay plan is used to cut stripes, checks, border prints, and placement prints easily.
Different Types of Lay
The following are the different types of Lay:
• Single Pick Lay
• Double Pick Lay
• Deficient Lay
• Multiple Lay
• Stepped Lay
1 Single Pick Lay:
When each and every component are picked up individually from the cut blocks is called Single Pick Lay.
Single picks are carried out when the fabrics have right & wrong side and when left and right side components
are different.
2 Double Pick Lay:
In this system, the fabric is laid in folded condition and the cut components are picked up in double. Since the
fabric is laid in folded condition, there will be no disturbance in the left or right side, when pick up.
3 Deficient Lay:
In order to make the optimum use of end pieces of the fabric in mass cutting, lays are prepared with a few
components deficient. For instance, in case of shirt, the main lay is prepared with leaving few components
such as Cuff, Collar etc. Such a lay set with deficient components is called as “Deficient Lay”. A separate lay
is made for the deficient parts using end pieces or lay balance of the fabric. Normally the inside parts of the
garment are cut using deficient lay.
4 Multiple Lay:
Lays are called as “Multiple Lays” when the same are set for more than one unit. In order to effect economy,
lays of two garments or three garments are set to effect optimum utilization. When we increase the unit of
garments per lay length, the fabric consumption per garment is gradually reduced.
5 Stepped Lay.
According to the size quantities we can lay different length lays one by one for quick cutting. These types of
lays are called as “Stepped Lay” because they form in a stepped manner. But, when using stepped lays, we
have to consider the size quantities because, we are cutting all the lays at the same time.
