Pressing is when you put the iron down and press hard to create or reinforce the folds of hems, pleats etc (i.e. to create creases) and is an essential part of the making clothes.

A laundry presser works at a dry cleaning facility, operating equipment that shapes garments and removes wrinkles. As a laundry presser, you run a laundry press that uses various chemicals or steam to remove wrinkles and shape clients’ clothing.

Laundry processes include washing (usually with water containing detergents or other chemicals), agitation, rinsing, drying, pressing (ironing), and folding.
