Garment Manufacturing Process Overview
Garment manufacturing processes include all activities from the point when textiles are received at the factory, to when retail-ready garments are shipped to the distributor. Some processes—such as fabric relaxing, cutting, and sewing—occur in the manufacturing of all garments. Other optional processes may also be performed as specified by the customer, including such things as embroidering, screen-printing, and laundering. Depending on the size of the manufacturing facility, some garment manufacturers choose to subcontract those optional processes.
This is the Basic Production Flowchart of a Garment. In advance some of the process can be added or removed.
