Quality That Lasts. Care That Protects Your Brand
At Seam Apparel, we believe great garments do not end in production.
They last through wear, wash, and time.
Our Garment Care Policy is designed to protect fabric quality, preserve fit, and maintain finish. It also helps brands reduce returns, improve customer satisfaction, and build long-term trust.
This page explains how Seam Apparel ensures garment durability and how proper garment care supports your brand’s success.
Our Commitment to Garment Longevity
Seam Apparel is committed to producing garments that perform well beyond first wear.
Garment longevity is built into every stage of our manufacturing process.
We focus on durability from the start.
Quality-Tested Fabrics
We carefully select fabrics based on performance and use case.
Each fabric is evaluated for:
- Strength and durability
- Shrinkage control
- Color stability
- Comfort and breathability
Only fabrics that meet our quality benchmarks move into production.
Professional Finishing Standards
Our finishing process is designed to enhance wash-and-wear life.
This includes:
- Reinforced stitching
- Clean seam finishing
- Controlled cutting and assembly
- Fabric pre-treatment when required
These steps reduce early wear, distortion, and fabric breakdown.
Premium Fabrics
Finely sourced materials with strict quality checks for lasting comfort and durability.
Flexible Production
Low MOQs from 50 pieces to bulk runs, tailored for startups and global brands alike.
Private Labelling
Custom branding, labels, and packaging to strengthen your brand identity.
On-Time Delivery
Efficient supply chain and reliable production timelines for timely launches.
Wash & Wear Testing
Before bulk production, garments are evaluated for real-world use. We assess for:
- Shrinkage after washing
- Colorfastness
- Pilling resistance
- Shape retention
Standard Garment Care Instructions
Seam Apparel provides clear and accurate garment care instructions for every order.
These guidelines apply across most garment types, including cotton, polyester, blends, and knits.
Washing Guidelines
- Wash in cold or lukewarm water
- Use a mild detergent
- Wash similar colors together
- Turn garments inside out before washing
Cold washing helps preserve fabric strength and color.
Drying Guidelines
- Air dry whenever possible
- Use tumble dry on low heat only
- Avoid over-drying
Excess heat shortens garment life and weakens fibers.
Ironing Guidelines
- Iron on low to medium heat
- Avoid direct heat on prints or embroidery
- Use steam carefully
Always follow the care label for best results.
Care Label Adherence
End users should always follow garment care labels.
Seam Apparel ensures proper placement and readability of every care label.
Fabric-Specific Care Guidelines
Different fabrics require different care.
We guide brands with fabric-specific garment care instructions to ensure long-lasting quality.
Cotton Garments
Cotton is breathable and comfortable but requires gentle handling.
Recommended care:
- Machine wash cold
- Gentle cycle preferred
- Tumble dry low or air dry
- Warm iron if needed
Proper care prevents shrinkage and fabric weakening.
Polyester & Polyester Blends
Polyester is durable but sensitive to heat.
Recommended care:
- Cold wash only
- Avoid high heat drying
- Do not iron at high temperatures
Low heat helps retain shape and performance.
Wool Fabrics
Wool requires extra care due to its natural fibers.
Recommended care:
- Dry clean preferred
- If you do wash, use wool-safe detergent
- Do not wring or tumble dry
Correct care maintains softness and structure.
Activewear & Performance Garments
Performance fabrics need special attention.
Recommended care:
- Wash cold
- Avoid fabric softeners
- Air dry only
- Do not iron
This protects stretching, moisture-wicking, and breathability.
Sustainable Garment Care Practices
Proper garment care is not only about quality.
It is also about sustainability.
Seam Apparel encourages sustainable garment care practices to reduce waste and extend product life.
Wash Cold to Save Energy
Cold washing:
- Uses less energy
- Reduces fabric stress
- Preserves colors longer
It is better for garments and the environment.
Air Dry Whenever Possible
Air drying:
- Prevents heat damage
- Reduces electricity use
- Extends garment lifespan
It is the most fabric-friendly option.
Use Eco-Friendly Detergents
Eco-friendly detergents:
- Are gentler on fabrics
- Reduce chemical damage
- Support Sustainable Fashion Goals
These practices help brands promote responsible consumption.
