The Importance of the Finishing Section
No matter how well a garment is stitched, if it isn't pressed and finished correctly, it will be rejected by international buyers. The finishing section ensures the final product looks crisp, clean, and ready for retail display.
1. Industrial Steam Irons and Vacuum Tables
The most basic yet critical finishing equipment. An industrial steam iron connected to a central boiler provides high-pressure steam to remove wrinkles. The vacuum table pulls the steam through the fabric and holds the garment flat, cooling and setting the crease instantly.
2. Form Finishers (Dummy Presses)
For jackets, coats, and tailored shirts, form finishers are used. The operator places the garment over a mannequin-like dummy, which then inflates with steam and hot air. This removes wrinkles while preserving the 3D shape of the garment, which a flat iron would ruin.
3. Thread Sucking Machines
Before pressing, garments must be free of loose threads. Thread sucking machines use powerful vacuums and clippers to quickly remove loose threads left over from the sewing process, replacing slow manual trimming with scissors.
4. Fusing Machines
Used to apply interlining to collars, cuffs, and waistbands. Fusing machines use heat and pressure to permanently bond the interlining to the fabric, giving these components their required stiffness.
