Fabric Pre-Shrinking: A Small Step That Makes a Big Difference

Many garment quality issues don’t start with design or workmanship —
they start with the fabric.

Even after dyeing and finishing, fabric fibers still carry tension from processing, transportation, and storage.
Without proper pre-shrinking before cutting, garments may change after the first wash.

Common results:

• Shorter garment length or sleeves

• Inconsistent sizing within the same batch

• Fit distortion and customer complaints

Pre-shrinking isn’t about shrinking the fabric.
It’s about releasing the risk in advance.

Depending on fabric type and end use, methods may include steam, washing, or relaxation processes.
For workwear, uniforms, and branded custom garments, size stability is not optional — it’s essential.

True quality isn’t proven on delivery day,
but after the garment has been worn and washed.

The steps you don’t see often make the biggest difference.
