Finishing is its own mini production line, sitting between sewing and packing. A garment arrives here structurally complete but not yet presentable — loose threads, wrinkles, no shape, no tags — and leaves ready for a retail shelf.
Loose thread tails left from sewing are cut close and clean, by hand or with a trimming machine.
Stains or marks picked up during production are treated before the garment moves any further.
Heat and steam remove wrinkles and set the garment's final shape — done after cleaning and checking, not before.
Some garments (like tailored jackets) go through a final shaping process on a form or dummy to set their silhouette.
Price tags, size labels, and hangtags are attached according to the buyer's placement instructions.
Garments are folded to the buyer's specified dimensions, ready for polybagging and packing.
Because finishing sits right before packing, a slowdown here backs up directly onto sewing output with nowhere to go — which is why finishing capacity (enough tables, irons, and staff) is planned alongside sewing capacity, not treated as an afterthought once sewing output ramps up.
