4. Finishing Departments
1. Thread Trimming:
In stitching department thread trails and thread chains
are not trimmed neatly. Uncut threads and thread tails
in garments are trimmed in the finishing department by
helpers. Uncut and loose threads on garments are
considered defects.
2. Checking garments:
All garments are checked at the finishing stage for
visuals and measurement. Finishing checkers check the
complete garment inside and out. Checking is done for
garment detailing, such as care labeling, and trims

3. Button attach and Butting holing:
Products those have trimming like button, snap
button, eyelets are attached in finishing section.
4. Removing stains:
Stains and spots are found on garments. Spots are
removed using a hand spot gun or by using a stain
removing machine prior to pressing. Dust and stains
can be removed by machine washing. So, many
times finishing department wash garments inside
department.

6. 5. Repair work and mending
Defective garments may need to repair for stitching and
fabric defects. All repair activities are done in finishing
department itself instead of sending defective garments
to stitching department.
6. Ironing garments:
Garments are ironed using a steam iron. This is done to
remove creases in the garment. For knitted garments
measurements are set by steam press. Vacuum pressing
tables are used for garment pressing.

Pressed garments are folded in a specified
dimension. Tags, such as price tags and hang tags
are attached to the garment by means of a Kimble
gun or threads.

poly bags as per customer requirements.
Individual poly bags are then packed into bigger
cartons.
9. Preparation of packing list:

for the shipment. After packing is completed
for an order, the finishing department
informs the concerned merchant.

one of the most used terms in garment
industry when it comes in
consideration to quality garment
inspection.
⚫ most of the acceptance decisions of
export shipments are made on the
basis of AQL based random sampling
plans.
Acceptable Quality Level (AQL)
⚫ To ensure the right quality products, an AQL
chart has to follow during quality inspection of
apparel which varies even buyer to buyer.
