How To Order Custom Trims Step By Step
A custom trim order goes wrong in predictable places. This is the sequence that avoids most of them.
One Send The Brief In One Email
Artwork or a photograph, the garment it goes on, the critical dimension, the colour reference, the target market and your delivery date. Six lines in one message saves three rounds of questions.
Two Agree The Technique
The same visual idea can be embroidery, hot fix, machine crochet, hand beading or a fabric corsage, and the choice changes cost, durability and care labelling. Settle it before sampling, not after the first sample disappoints.
Three Specify Compliance Now
If the goods are for children, or for a market with nickel or AZO restrictions, say so with the brief. Nickel free and lead and AZO free material has to be chosen before production.
Four Approve A Physical Sample
Approve the piece in your hand, on your fabric, not a photograph of it. Mark changes clearly, and if there are several, number them so the resample can be checked against a list.
Five Lock The Standard And The Code
The approved sample becomes the standard for bulk, and the item code is what you order against next time. Without both, a repeat order is a new development.

Questions From This Guide
What information do you need to quote a custom trim
Artwork or a photograph, the garment, the critical dimension, the colour reference, the target market and the quantity.
How long does sampling take
It depends on the technique and whether materials are in stock. Ask for the sampling time with the quote so it can be planned into your date.
What happens after we approve the sample
The approved sample is retained as the physical standard for the bulk run and the design is coded so you can reorder it.
