Garment Remediation for Bulk & Imported Garments

White Label London Ltd can provide garment remediation services for brands, retailers and importers dealing with bulk quantities of defective or incorrectly finished garments.

If a shipment arrives with a systematic issue, sending the entire order back to the manufacturer may not always be commercially practical.

Our rework team can assess the problem and undertake the required corrective work in the UK.

Typical examples include:

• Incorrect size labels across a shipment
• Incorrect care labels
• Incorrect buttons or trims
• Sewing defects
• Finishing issues
• Measurement discrepancies
• Minor construction faults
• Garments requiring additional finishing
• Batch corrections following QC inspection

We can work with clients to establish the required rework specification and process garments systematically to help bring the shipment up to the required standard.

Garment Unpacking, QC & Hanging Pack Services

As part of our garment remediation, quality control and finishing services, White Label London Ltd provides a complete unpack, QC and hanging pack service for fashion brands, retailers, manufacturers, importers and wholesalers.

We can receive garments in bulk, unpack and inspect your garments, carry out quality control checks, identify any defects or issues and complete the required rework or finishing before preparing the garments for dispatch, retail or further distribution.

Our garment unpacking, QC and hanging pack services can include:

• Unpacking garments from cartons and bulk packaging
• Garment-by-garment quality control inspection
• Checking workmanship and garment construction
• Checking measurements against approved specifications
• Identifying sewing and manufacturing defects

• Repacking garments ready for dispatch or retail

From Unpacking to Retail-Ready

Our unpack, QC, rework and hanging pack service provides brands and retailers with a practical UK-based solution for managing finished garments from arrival through to final preparation.

Rather than using separate suppliers for garment inspection, rework, finishing and packing, our experienced team can manage multiple stages of the process under one roof.

This is particularly valuable for imported garments and bulk shipments that require additional quality control, repairs, labelling corrections, finishing or preparation before entering the retail supply chain.

Once the required work has been completed, we can quality check, hang and prepare your garments for dispatch, helping ensure they meet the required brand and retail presentation standards.
