Inside the Shirtswise Factory
Follow a custom shirt order through fabric inspection, cutting, sewing, finishing, quality checks, packing, warehouse storage, and shipment.
How Orders Move Through Our Shirt Factory
Here is how custom shirt orders move through our factory before sampling or bulk production. The workflow applies to business shirts, corporate shirts, uniforms, promotional shirts, and private label programs.
Fabric Rolls Organized by Order
Production starts with fabric control. Rolls are sorted by order number, fabric type, color, and customer notes before inspection and cutting.
This confirms the correct material for business shirts, corporate uniforms, promotional shirts, school shirts, work shirts, and private label programs.
Fabric Inspection Before Cutting
Before cutting, the fabric surface, shade, hand feel, width, and visible defects are checked. For repeat orders, the fabric is compared with the approved sample.
Early inspection reduces issues during cutting, sewing, finishing, and final checks, especially for repeat B2B orders.
Main Production Workflow
After fabric approval, each order moves through pattern work, cutting, bundling, sewing, finishing, checking, and packing.
Pattern Preparation
Patterns and markers follow the approved sample, size chart, fit, shrinkage allowance, and construction details.
Fabric Cutting
Fabric is cut by order plan, size breakdown, and marker layout. Clean cutting supports stable sizing, smoother sewing, and better shape control.
Panels Sorted by Size
Cut panels are bundled by size, color, and order number to keep the sewing line organized and reduce mix-ups during bulk production.
Shirt Sewing and Assembly
The sewing line assembles collars, cuffs, plackets, sleeves, side seams, hems, labels, pockets, and other shirt details.
Bulk production follows the approved sample, confirmed measurements, fabric standard, logo method, label placement, and buyer notes.
Buttonholes, Buttons, and Labels
Buttonholes, buttons, care labels, brand labels, hang tags, and small finishing details are completed with dedicated machines and manual checks.
These small details affect the final look and feel, especially for office shirts, uniforms, retail shirts, corporate programs, and private label collections.
Finishing, Checking, and Packing
After sewing, shirts move through pressing, final checks, folding, size sorting, and packing before they enter the warehouse.
Ironing and Shape Setting
Finished shirts are pressed to improve shape, collar presentation, sleeve lines, and fold quality before final inspection.
Final Shirt Checking
Our team checks measurements, stitching, logo position, buttons, labels, fabric appearance, loose threads, stains, and overall finishing.
Folding and Packaging
Packing can include size stickers, individual polybags, hang tags, carton marks, ratio packing, mixed-size cartons, and other buyer requirements.
Packed Orders Held for Shipment
Packed cartons move to the warehouse and are arranged by customer, destination, order number, carton mark, and shipping plan.
This keeps bulk orders organized before express, air, sea, freight forwarder, or door-to-door delivery.
Shipment Preparation
After checking and packing, the shipment is prepared around the delivery method, carton requirements, destination, and schedule.
We support bulk cartons, mixed-size packing, private label packing, export carton marks, and delivery planning for the US, Canada, the UK, and Europe.
