Post-Production Practices

Welcome back to Rad Sourcing. 

Today, we are discussing post-production apparel brands.

Your garments are off the machines and folded neatly—so, you’re done, right? Not quite. For fashion brands, the post-production phase is where quality, branding, and logistics come together to shape the customer experience. At Rad Sourcing, we make sure your apparel doesn’t just get made; it gets delivered, beautifully and reliably.

Whether you’re a direct-to-consumer label or scaling wholesale, here’s what happens after your clothing is produced, and how we support you every step of the way.

Quality Control & Final Inspection

Before your garments head out the door, we inspect every thread and seam:

  • Stitching accuracy (no loose threads, skipped stitches)
  • Fabric consistency (dye lots, print alignment, shrinkage)
  • Fit verification using your approved size sets and tech packs
  • Trim and detail checks for buttons, zippers, embroidery, and embellishments

Labeling & Garment Packaging

Garment presentation and compliance go hand-in-hand. We help you get it right:

  • Branded hang tags, woven neck labels, care instructions, and size tags
  • Barcode and retail label application based on your distribution needs
  • Custom or eco-conscious packaging (e.g., recycled polybags, tissue, stickers)

Warehousing & Apparel Logistics

Your inventory is ready—now it needs a home. We assist with:

  • Storage in local or international fulfillment centers
  • Freight coordination (air, ocean, or land)
  • Inventory management and split shipments across regions or retailers
  • Support with customs, HS codes, and taxes

Compliance & Documentation

Every garment needs a paper trail. We help you meet legal and industry standards:

  • Fiber content & care labeling compliance (US, EU, UK)
  • CPSIA, OEKO-TEX, and REACH testing, where applicable
  • Customs-ready invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin
  • Factory compliance reports 

We also help with Sustainable Post-Production Services.

We work with conscious brands to turn sustainability goals into action:

  • Use of biodegradable or recycled packaging
  • Trim and tag recycling programs
  • Support for carbon-neutral freight and slow fashion models
  • Consultation on circularity and end-of-life garment planning

Finally, Fulfillment & Distribution.

We make sure your pieces get to their new homes—whether that’s a boutique or someone’s doorstep:

  • DTC (direct-to-consumer) fulfillment support
  • B2B shipping to retailers and pop-ups
  • Bulk shipments for restocks, launches, and influencer gifting
  • Returns coordination if needed

Post-Production Is the Final Fit Check

Just like a well-tailored blazer, your post-production process should fit your brand perfectly. At Rad Sourcing, we handle the details so you can focus on the bigger picture: creating garments that people love.
