Sampling and Wash Testing Matter
Functional finishes should be tested before bulk production. The finish may change hand feel, shrinkage, color, breathability, and wash results.
- Check Hand Feel - The shirt should still feel right for the intended user.
- Test After Washing - Review shrinkage, wrinkles, colorfastness, and shape retention.
- Match Real Use - Office shirts, outdoor work shirts, hospitality uniforms, and travel shirts need different performance levels.
- Approve Before Bulk - Samples help reduce finish issues in large orders.
