Spanish term or phrase: Pinzas (see context)
Terminology comes from process control tags to monitor quality of clothes making.

I suspect the the word "pinzas" does not mean "pleats" in this case because the word "alforza" is already being used to refer to "pleats."

Other word appears as follows on the tag with a barcode and a long number: PINZAS (2)

Other words on other tags:

- PLASTICO ETIQUETA CARTON
- ACOMODO FINAL
- REMATE MANGA LARGA
- BOTON
- COLOCAR PUDOS
- COLOCAR MANGA LARGA Y CERRAR
- COLOCAR CUELLO

According to Linguée, one of the meanings of "pinza" is 'dart'

See the following definitions from Merriam-Webster:

dart
3 c : a stitched tapering fold used especially in fitting garments to the curves of the body

tuck
1 a (1) : a fold stitched or woven into cloth for the purpose of shortening, decorating, or controlling fullness.

pleat
1 a : a creased or uncreased fold in cloth made by doubling material over on itself to form a section of three thicknesses, stitched, attached, or held along one side from which it hangs or flares free — see BOX PLEAT, INVERTED PLEAT, KICK PLEAT
