Refurbishing Clothing and Reprocessing Clothing for the Apparel Industry

 
Label changing, re-packing, deodorizing, ticketing, cleaning etc.

To refurbish something is to renovate, fix, freshen up, brighten, etc.  The garment industry will refurbish clothes, shoes, accessories, etc., if the product has quality concerns or other reasons.  A refurbishing project is not always based on trying to fix damages.  It is very possible that garments are in perfect condition, but the factory may have put the clothes on the wrong model hanger or attached an incorrect price ticket, care label, etc.  You will find many reasons for the need for some sort of refurbishing (corrective action).
