Finishing room management involves 15 key steps to prepare garments for shipment. Goods received from sewing are heat sealed if needed, then undergo thread sucking, ironing, quality checks. They are tagged, folded, checked for metals, sized on hangers. Garments are poly packed, cartooned, and receive final inspection before shipment. Finishing plays a vital role by providing the final touches, improving quality and defects, and making garments durable and attractive for consumers.

#Description of every steps of finishing room managemet:
1.Goods received from sewing section : Inputs of finishing room is goods of
sewing section.
2.Heat seal: Heat seal is attached in backside area of knit garments Ex. T-shirt.
Transfer printing,photo printing, is used for attaching it with high temperature
and pressure (air,hydrolic).

detected in this stage.
12.Hanger Sizer : Garments are stiff by hanging and two types of hanger
sizer is used – Numeric and Alphabetic.

4. 13.Poly packing : Poly packing is done by 2D poly & 3D poly .
Single poly (only one piece garments placed)
Blister poly (more than one piece garments are placed)
3D Poly Gusset Poly (shopping poly) High density thicker than 2D
poly.
14.Cartooning : Small cartooning is inner cartooning . Inner cartoon is
placed in large master cartoon.
Information over the cartoon is –
 Order number, factory name
 Country origin
