It can't possibly have anything to do with ironed, right?

Description in a chart:

Lycra PANTYHOSE 13 den
Composition: 82% Polyamide, 18% Elastene
Double covered yarn, flat seams, "planchado", cotton gusset

TIA!

Thanks for your note, Patricia: I have very little "savvy" on the subject, but could it have something to do with pressing the legs in order to adapt for the packaging?

Explanation:

Boarding - Socks: In this operation the sock is stretched either dry or moist over flat metal or wooden forms conforming to the desired sock shape and size. It is then pressed between two heated surfaces. This gives the sock form a smooth appearance. It is a process similar to ironing. Sheers: A full-shaped heat setting operation in which stockings and pantyhose are put on metal leg forms for a specific size and shape and then dried in a steam cabinet. The process is done after dyeing. The term "boarding" stems from the olden days when wooden boards were used to dry stockings. (See Pre-Boarding, Semi-Boarded, and the Intech Process.)

Notes to answerer

Asker: Eski, your suggestion is the closest I get - I'm going to risk it after looking through hundreds of hosiery descriptions I found nothing better. Pressed is bound to be planchado - though what that means when referring to tights is a mystery. Thanks a million.
