FINISHING DEPARTMENT
Functioning of the Department
The finishing department is the department which comes after all the
departmentsand it plays an equally important role in the final appearance
of the garment. Thisdepartment includes majorly of the following steps,

Trimming:
This involves the removal of the extra threads from the garment at the
stitchedareas.

Inspection
:The inspection carried out here is according to the AQL system
andsometimes it depends on the buyer also i.e., if the buyer emphasizes
for a100% inspection then the company has to do as specified.

Semi

pressing:
This happens when a garment is difficult to inspect in the crushes
manner asit comes from the washing department hence, they do a partial

pressing forthe garments and then inspect it and trim it and then send it
to the completepressing process.

Pressing:
The pressing is done after the garment has been completely inspected
andthe garments are pressed on the basis of how they will be folded
duringpacking.

Tagging section:
Once the garments are been done with the inspection and complete
pressingthen they are sent for tagging the labels and the labels include
the size labels,price tags and miscellaneous labels if any required by the
buyer. Once thetagging is done the garments are folded accordi
ng to the buyers specification
and also they are either folded plainly or sometimes they are folded after
they
are put to the hangers as per the buyers specifications again.
The packing material, PCB details, number of size ratios that are
supposed tobe put in are all suggested by the buyer and the packing is
done according tothese specifications.


Packing:
The packing is generally done in the carton boxes and there are
severalcriteria for the packing of the garments they are as follows,There
are generally two kinds of packing the garment,1. The garment is
individually packed/wrapped in the poly bag whosedesign will be
specified by the buyer i.e., either with the hangerattached or plain poly
bag packing and then the entire garments (asper the packing criteria) is
arranged in the carton box.2. The other method is that the garments are
just folded and arranged inthe carton boxes without putting them in the
poly bag.The packing criteria followed in each carton box as already
mentioned is done indifferent ways which is as follows:

Solid Packing:
In this method of packing, the carton box includes garments of single
colorand same size.

Ratio Packing:
In this method the carton box includes garments of same color but of
differentsizes according to the ratio.

Mixed Packing:
In this method the carton box includes garments of different colors but
ofsame size or garments with different colors and different sizes in a
particularratio form. After the packing is done the garments are kept
in the godown/stores until the buyersends the buyer QC for the
inspection purpose before delivering them and once theQC check them
according to the AQL system and then decide if the garments has tobe
accepted or rejected.
