At the quality conuol process, the
operator lays the hide on the table, checks
and marks any flaws that can be found on
the hide such as holes, injection marks,
animal bites, etc. Once this process is
completed, an experienced nester will place
as many templates as possible on the bide
such that the whole hide is covered with
templates. The templates are placed only on
the good parts of the-hide by avoidmg the
flaws. Then, the operator d mark the
templates using a marker. The templates are
removed one by one from the hide as the
templates are marked. The next process
involves cuuing the hide according to the
ourline of the template marking. This then
completes the first stage of leather f d i l r e
production.
