tissue please

[mooseman]

OK can anyone educate me on the genesis of those nice tissue sheets we get in some garments?
You know the 8 x 8 or 10 x 10 ultra thin tissue paper that sometimes is between the fold over of a garment or inside a jacket or polo shirt.
Is this a union vestigial or does it actually have a purpose relative to the fold / packaging process.....mooseman wants to know...............does anyone know?

They are there to keep the material from chaffing on itself and causing the garment to look worn down. Tissue paper is fine its individual bagged crap that is meant for wholesale and decorators like us I cannot stand.

I used to print a ton of Mizuno performance wear at a contract shop. Every summer, 10 to 50k orders [i]each individualy bagged with tissue and pins[/i]. Hired temps for that and rented a trailer for all the waste. Thing is they knew these were coming each year yet didn't change factory specs in Asia to bulk pack/fold. Just paid for all the labor over and over. Probably still do.

To go along with all the other stuff(bags, pins, clips etc.) I think it's a conspiracy to return all of north america's junk back to us as packaging.
 Oh, and so they can charge more for freight......
