When should residual moisture after dry OEM be checked against the finished garment?
Check after sewing, pressing, decoration when relevant, and the approved garment wash—not only on greige fabric. Measure the
first sample against the signed method, then after the wash recipe and drying method signed for bulk. If yarn, knitting, wash chemistry, softener, dryer setting, pattern, or decoration changes, repeat the gate before releasing the 1,000-piece style MOQ.
“Approve Residual Moisture After Dry OEM on finished samples before bulk; record wash lot, measurements, and buyer tolerance on the sample QA sheet.” — common buyer QA practice for OEM approval
How can buyers prevent bulk failures
related to residual moisture after dry OEM?
