Packaging & Finishing Details We Review Before Production
A strong retail finishing apparel manufacturer checks the details before packing starts. This helps reduce labelling mistakes, mixed sizes, unclear cartons, and product presentation issues.
Label & Tag Requirements
We review neck labels, care labels, woven labels, hang tags, size stickers, and SKU details. If your brand needs label support, review our Custom Labels & Tags service.
Bagging & Folding
Garments can be folded and packed by style, size, colour, bundle, or order requirement. Poly bags, garment bags, and carton packing details should be approved before bulk finishing.
Barcodes & Stickers
Barcode stickers, size stickers, style codes, and carton labels can be applied when buyers provide the correct files, codes, and placement instructions.
Custom Trims
Packaging can be planned together with branded trims such as zipper pulls, drawcord tips, patches, badges, and other details. See Custom Trims & Accessories.
MOQ & Order Planning
IK Apparel offers low MOQ options depending on product type, fabric, customisation, and order details. For many custom apparel projects, MOQ can start from 10-20 pieces per design.
Shipping Preparation
IK Apparel supports UK and worldwide shipping through trusted courier and freight options such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, and other logistics partners depending on order size and destination.
Our Packaging & Retail Finishing Process
Every order is reviewed before finishing so the final apparel is packed according to your brand, product type, and delivery needs.
1. Packaging Review
We review your tech pack, label files, tag design, barcode data, folding method, and packing instructions.
2. Sample Approval
A sample or packaging mockup can be prepared so you can confirm placement, folding, tags, and bagging style.
3. Bulk Finishing
After approval, garments are labelled, tagged, folded, bagged, stickered, sorted, and packed for the order.
4. QC & Packing
The order is checked for size, style, colour, labelling, packing accuracy, and carton organisation before UK shipment.
