Finishing & Packing

Garment cleaning, pressing, safety detection, folding, packing, carton control, final audit, and troubleshooting.

Finishing & Packing
01

Finishing Flow & Workmanship

Finishing converts sewn output into a clean, functional, presentation-ready garment through controlled trimming, cleaning, pressing, checking, and repair.

  • Receive garments by line, style, colour, size, bundle, and quantity
  • Trim loose threads without cutting bartacks, seams, or fabric
  • Remove approved repairable marks using controlled chemicals and tools
  • Inspect inside and outside using a fixed sequence and adequate lighting
  • Verify labels, trims, measurements, appearance, and functionality
  • Segregate defects and preserve repair and reinspection traceability
02

Pressing & Form Control

Pressing combines temperature, pressure, moisture, vacuum, dwell time, and handling to set shape without damaging the material.

  • Approve settings by fabric, colour, finish, interlining, print, and trim
  • Use bucks, forms, templates, and protective shoes where required
  • Avoid shine, glazing, scorching, seam impressions, and colour change
  • Control garment dimensions while shaping collars, plackets, hems, and seams
  • Allow garments to cool and dry before folding or measurement
  • Check equipment surfaces, steam quality, vacuum, and thermostat accuracy
03

Safety & Detection

Final safety controls prevent sharp objects, broken needles, contamination, and unsafe attachments from reaching customers.

  • Operate a documented broken-needle reconciliation procedure
  • Use calibrated metal detection at the buyer-specified sensitivity
  • Control rejected pieces in a locked and traceable process
  • Verify button, snap, rivet, eyelet, and ornament attachment strength
  • Inspect sharp points, edges, cords, loops, and small parts by product market
  • Maintain detector challenge records at start, intervals, changeover, and end
04

Folding, Packing & Cartons

Packing protects the garment, presents it consistently, and delivers the exact commercial assortment.

  • Use approved fold dimensions, tissue, clips, collar support, and inserts
  • Confirm polybag type, gauge, size, ventilation, seal, and warning print
  • Verify hangtag, price ticket, barcode, size sticker, and placement
  • Scan barcodes and reconcile style, colour, size, quantity, and destination
  • Pack solid or ratio cartons according to the approved assortment
  • Control carton dimensions, strength, sealing, markings, weight, and moisture
05

Final Audit & Troubleshooting

Shipment readiness is confirmed through final random inspection, packing audit, and documented release.

  • Apply buyer sampling and AQL rules to completed packed goods
  • Check appearance, construction, measurement, function, safety, labelling, and packing
  • Pressing shine: reduce heat/pressure and use protective pressing
  • Mould risk: dry garments, monitor moisture, and control container conditions
  • Barcode failure: correct print contrast, quiet zone, damage, or data mapping
  • Hold failed lots until corrective action, reinspection, and authorized release
Apply buyer-specific manuals where requirements are stricter.
