After t-shirts have been sewn and inspected for quality during step three, they are finally ready to be packaged and distributed to customers, designers, and brands all around the globe.

The distribution journey begins after t-shirts have been carefully boxed. Inside of their designated boxes, they are sent on a journey to one of Gildan’s company-owned or third-party distribution centres. These centres store, sort, and effectively dispatch palettes of products to customers around the world.
