Classification
Summary
Manufacturing position responsible for the entire process from cutting cloth masks to sewing, finishing, and quality inspection.
Description
Cloth mask manufacturing workers use fabrics such as cotton or polyester to cut into mask shapes, sew with sewing machines, attach rubber cords or perform folding processes, finishing, and inspection. In production lines, they combine manual labor and machine operations to efficiently assemble products and stably supply items that meet quality standards and hygiene standards. They also handle process management, inventory control for individual or small-lot production, and simple troubleshooting depending on the factory scale.
Future Outlook
Due to the spread of disposable non-woven masks, domestic production is in a shrinking trend, but steady demand is expected in niche markets for cloth masks that emphasize eco-friendliness and fashion. Efficiency improvements and development of high value-added products will be important.
