the garment pressing process specifications:
I. Pressing Process Flow
Pre-production Pressing (Pre-shrinking)
Pre-iron fabric pieces to eliminate wrinkles and prevent deformation during subsequent wet-heat processes.
Intermediate Pressing (Shaping Critical)
Sectional ironing during sewing to sculpt 3D curves (e.g., shoulder blades, waist) using shrinking/stretching techniques for body conformity.
Coordinate closely with sewing lines, equipping each machine with vacuum ironing tables.
Final Pressing (Setting)
Comprehensive ironing for wrinkle-free seams/pleats and dimensional stability.
II. Key Technical Requirements
1. Core Techniques (16-Character Principle)
Shrink-Stretch Combination: Shrink convex areas (e.g., bust) for fullness; stretch concave zones (e.g., back).
Pressure Control:
Delicate fabrics: Light/quick strokes to avoid shine/scorching;
Heavy sections (lapels, facings): Firm/slow pressure for thorough drying.
Curved areas (armholes, crotch): Use arching/delicate methods.
Temperature Guidelines:
Fabric Range Risk Control
Cotton 175–195℃ >200℃ weakens fibers
Silk 120–160℃ >150℃ causes yellowing
Wool/Tweed Medium+steam High temp shrinks/shrivels
2. Equipment & Parameters
Tools: Steam iron (fiber pe*******on) + vacuum table (5-sec cooling); 3D mannequin press for suits/cheongsams.
Triad Synergy:
Temperature: Graded by heat tolerance (cotton > polyester > silk);
Humidity: Extra steam for heavy fabrics (e.g., wool);
Pressure: 4kg/cm² for denim,
